'Ethnic' Shopping - Walking Tour... "Foods of the World"

Meeting at the Zurich Hauptbahnhof Meeting Point 'Treffpunkt'...10am
Saturday 29th August...I will be the one with the 'Australian Flag' shopping bag ;-)

Our 'shopping tour' will include places you can purchase all the key ingredients for - Asian - Chinese and Japanese, Thai, Mexican, Turkish/Middle Eastern/Greek/Lebanese (some Halal also), and Indian/Sri Lankan foods...

We will walk from Zurich HB to Langstrasse - tour length approximately 2 hours, allowing for walking and touring the shops...

What to bring:
- list of 10 things that you are seeking for your recipes
- wet weather gear if the weather is poor
- comfortable walking shoes
- appropriate amounts of money for your shopping needs
- bag to carry your purchases..

Also - optional Indian lunch at midday once the tour is done...the Indian festival is on at the Hauptbahnhof this Saturday.

It is generally 'pram friendly' although you might need to leave your pram outside to enter some of the stores...

Swisspea.

bumping this up - come and do the shopping tour

The weather forecast looks perfect for shopping

And don't forget the Indian festival in the HB (main train station) afterwards for lunch...

Re: Zurich - Foods of the World - Shopping Tour

Sounds like fun, but I'm stuck looking after at least one of my children ... and doing housework, since my wife is heading out and about!

Re: Zurich - Foods of the World - Shopping Tour

I am so sorry I was late. I got to the L'Occitane store at 10:11 and could see that I was going to be spending the day alone in Zurich. I took the train from Bassersdorf but it wasn't early enough- maybe next time....
