Sächsilüüte Sechseläuten, originally uploaded by arutgers03.

Sächsilüüte. Read all about it. It’s a unique holiday. My sister told
me that the LA Times described it as burning a snowman. Although it
looks like that, "Dä Böögg" is more like the boogey man. It is a very
crowded event. I was glad the balcony of the opera house was open (the
people density was a little more manageable). What’s amazing is that
so many people can totally trash the streets and by the next day (or
maybe within hours) there’s barely a trace of the event. Organized.
Clean. Efficient. Zürich.
