	As far as the Swiss customs are concerned, there's absolutely nothing wrong with what he did. His problems are with the Germans.

You're right of course. I was going to mention that in my previous post but that thought got lost somewhere between my brain and the keyboard...

	And while you visit Constance: make sure you grab dinner at Bo Dai Tei - and get some of the best Japanese food outside of Japan (you might think I'm exaggerating here - but wait until you've tried it - the Sushi Master (yes, he actually is a Sushi Master) creates true works of art there. He's a bit eccentric and if the restaurant's too busy, he'll tell you where the wine is for self service :-) but the food is absolutely perfect.

I dragged up this old post because I stumbled up on it this morning and followed the advice. We went to Bo Dai Tei for a great sushi lunch and found a great little piece of Japan in Konstanz.

Bo Dai Tei was not bad, the sushi train is excellent but the Udon is below my expectation though. That aside, the shopping experience in LAGO center is massively disappointing, probably because we went to Foxtown not too long ago and my wife still remembers the prices for many kids & women's items. Basically Foxtown is cheaper than LAGO at every turn of the corner, by 20~50%.

Maybe there are other great shops in Konstanz that we simply missed?

Lago is a large overpriced shopping mall or tourist trap!! Go to the old town or other the non tourist side of Konstanz and loads of bargains to be had.

LAGO is a regular mall but Foxtown is an Outlet Mall, where you usually get last season's collection and 2nd choice or slow moving goods. Therefore Foxtown is supposed to be cheaper.

I wouldn't know what's overpriced about LAGO. It's mostly chain stores anyway and those tend to charge the same price for the same product all over Germany.

That's probably true, yet the price comparison my wife made were between the same goods - for example a pair of Children's leather shoes, exactly the same stuff, SFr15 in Foxtown but Euro30 in one of the shops in LAGO. I agree that outlet center probably will have more last season goods than a place like LAGO, but well, we're not the fashion following type, feeling right matters more to us
