Okay....first notice is that King's day isnt today nor last week...it was WAY back in early January and really sorry cause I couldnt find any time to update on it. So....here we go!!
SO!Who's wants to be a king today?or feel like a king?well, it is not up to you to decide but the BREAD *yup...you heard me right...the bread will decide who becomes for the day for each customer* To cut things short, on the 6th of January every year, it is called a King's Day in Switzerland. According to history and believes, there are 3 kings who will each pick 2 bread from the crown-looking-bread and eat it. Whoever who gets the king "toy" in their piece will be the King of that kingdom. Therefore, it has become a tradition to the citizens here to practice it *but in a non-serious way of course...no one's gonna replace the current king by just picking on the bread and get the toy*
It's really cool that they made it into a tradition cause I have never heard anything like that before. Plus, most of the bakeries will be giving the "King" bread out to customers who visits on that day for free (You HAVE to buy something...duh!nothing is free). Plus, whoever that becomes the king-of-the-day will ahve to wear a crown on top of their head and get to order whoever to do something for the. Cool huh?haha! Anyway, one of my Korean friend got the "king" but she wasnt really the real king for that day cause all 6 people are only allowed to pick on the same loaf of bread ONCE. If you dont get the toy then you wouldnt get a second chance to choose another piece. But yea...she did so she's not the official one among our group...^^
It was great fun though i didnt get the Crown.
OH!before I forgot, the bridge is not called chapel bridge but it's called Chapel Bridge....but from Chapel Bridge you get the view of a hotel taht's in the mountains and one that looks like a Palace.
Till then....Toodless~!
