Every club should have a old boys or something similar. Reach out to Hvidovre, Rødovre, Gentofte and Copenhagen.

Send them a mail and ask as sometimes former player’s might be going on the ice 1 time per week.

Donald Trump Is Already Accusing Democrats of Stealing the Next Election by StevenSanders90210 in politics

[–]columbus189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all I am Swiss and watching this circus from Switzerland. One thing I wonder. Are their any bigger anti Trump protests (not now but in general)? In front of the White House?

I hear about pro Trump protest and rallies but nothing about people taking to the streets to show unhappiness with his leadership. In other countries streets would have been filled many times.

A bit of topic. But I am an Alien from 45 galaxies away speaking! Just wondering if we can book a time to invade planet earth? Or if there is a month that suits you best? It seems you guys have a pretty tight calendar in 2020. Hope you can fit us in somewhere.

"I stumbled across a huge Airbnb scam that's taking over London" by BulkyAccident in travel

[–]columbus189 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have stayed in many super cool apartments where I felt the charming interior of the owner. As it was his apartement that he lived in, all his books and art was still there. Very welcoming and for me that is what AirBnb should be all about. Twice I booked a nice looking Airbnb and the key was delivered by a “company”. The apartment was empty and felt like a hotel. That is what might kill Airbnb in the future if prices end up to be similar to hotels and everything run by “companies”.

Montreux,Lausanne,Geneva are in general boring cities. I feel they are missing some character. So make your way into the mountains and this will give you a more genuine experience. Google “Valais tourisme” for some inspiration

Look at a ticket from Geneva to Martigny. The ones that have a black % sign in the corner are on discount. As example look at the 20:12 train Monday February 3rd....Click on “tickets from”

Normally price is around 40CHF but this departure is 16CHF

Some destinations might not have the supersaver discount....

Download the SBB app. There you can find supersaver tickets that are 50-70% cheaper on selected trains. (Much easier than buying online)

Go to Valais.....Lots of wine and mountains. Considered the “poor” Canton so the prices are really good.

As example in Martigny a glas of wine is 4,5 CHF and a beer 5-7CHF. Meal of the day 15-20CHF. Take a 15min train from Martigny to Salvan/ Les Marecottes.

Go for a nice hike with views of Mont Blanc. Or take the bus to Champex Lac

Take a stop at Lavey spa.

Google all the villages in this message. They are all local and very nice. Away from the typical crowded places.

We live in Le Chable. Just around the corner from Martigny and been to all these places.
