St. Moritz

I got an amazing opportunity to go watch the Skiing World Championships in St. Moritz. My host dad and I got up at 2:30am and took a bus for five hours to Saint Moretz where in the world championships were taking place. It was a beautiful day! It was pretty wild and the energy was intense. Unfortunately Canada and Switzerland didn't do very well but it was still a cool experience!

Cheese and chocolate factory

What to do on a bad weathered weekend? Visit chocolate and cheese factories! One rainy weekend my host fam decided not to go skiing but instead show me a bit of what Switzerland is really about. We went to the Cailler chocolate factory and the Greyerzer cheese factory. There I got to see how everything is made and stored. I was mesmerized by the way cheese was made. I even tried whey (not my favourite thing... I would rather bathe in it). In all honesty my favourite part was the free taste testing of all the different cheese and chocolates!
