Sushi, honesty, and dating in Basel. A night in Zurich
This weekend my friend Gianni visited me from Amsterdam. He arrived on Friday and we decided to go out for dinner.
The choice was between a traditional Swiss dinner or sushi. We decided for the latter!!!
There is a very good sushi restaurant in Basel:
Noohn
Since there was no need to impress my friend, we opted for a small sushi restaurant.
I will happy to invite to Noohn the next girl who visits me in Basel: any taker? :-)
At the restaurant, we were impressed by the good food and the waitress. Apart from speaking Italian, she was very nice, professional, and ... honest!!! Let me explain why she was honest.
At the end of a ton of raw fish and a couple of beers, we asked the bill: 140 Swiss francs, nearly 70 Euro in total. We expected a lot less but with the aplomb of two Rockefeller descendants, we payed. When leaving, the waitress stopped us. They made some confusion with the bills: our bill was just 70 Francs!!!
What a honesty!!!
We immediately decided to invest that money in whiskey heading to the nearest pub: O'Reilly.
That is the scenario of my next story: dating in Basel.
First, you need an introduction to the dating scene in Basel: total depression.
The first two weeks that I was here I tried everything and I could not even start a conversation.
Last week, my friend Martin -he is from Basel, told me: "Of all the Swiss girls, the ones from Basel are the most difficult".
Heading to the pub, I warned Gianni about how it is difficult to start a conversation with a girl in Basel.
I was so shocked that I did not follow the 3th rule of the manual "the perfect serial dater": I offered her something to drink... She grabbed the drink and faded away!
