Sunday 10 August 2003 - the rural towns of central Switzerland - Glarus, Biberbrugg SZ, Arth-Goldau, Erstfeld, Altdorf and Flüelen - the lucky arrow that missed the kid - lovely Geschnetzltes and liter of beer to end out the visit to Switzerland
Sunday 10 August 2003
Good morning! What a Street Parade yesterday. This one was hotter than the last one. Today we will visit some rural towns in Switzerland by town, particularly in the central part of the Deutschschweiz. First we go to Glarus via Ziegelbrücke, then Pfäffikon SZ, then Biberbrugg and Einsiedeln, then change trains at Arth-Goldau for Erstfeld and Altdorf. The last small town we visit is Flüelen, and then we go to Zürich for a relatively quiet(er) supper at the Brasserie Johanniter. It is my last full day in Switzerland for the year 2003, before going to Munich, Germany. Hope you will enjoy this story.
Guten Morgen! Was für eine Streetparade gestern. Dieser war heißer als der letzte. Heute werden wir stadtweise einige ländliche Städte in der Schweiz besuchen, insbesondere im zentralen Teil der Deutschschweiz. Zuerst fahren wir über Ziegelbrücke nach Glarus, dann nach Pfäffikon SZ, dann nach Biberbrugg und Einsiedeln, dann steigen wir in Arth-Goldau um nach Erstfeld und Altdorf. Die letzte kleine Stadt, die wir besuchen, ist Flüelen, und dann fahren wir nach Zürich für ein relativ ruhiges Abendessen in der Brasserie Johanniter. Es ist mein letzter ganzer Tag in der Schweiz im Jahr 2003, bevor ich nach München, Deutschland, aufbreche. Ich hoffe, Ihnen wird diese Geschichte gefallen.
Bonjour! Quelle Street Parade hier. Celui-ci était plus chaud que le précédent. Aujourd'hui, nous visiterons quelques villes rurales de Suisse par ville, en particulier dans la partie centrale de la Deutschschweiz. Nous allons d'abord à Glaris via Ziegelbrücke, puis Pfäffikon SZ, puis Biberbrugg et Einsiedeln, puis changeons de train à Arth-Goldau pour Erstfeld et Altdorf. La dernière petite ville que nous visitons est Flüelen, puis nous allons à Zürich pour un souper relativement calme à la Brasserie Johanniter. C'est mon dernier jour complet en Suisse pour l'année 2003, avant d'aller à Munich, en Allemagne. J'espère que vous apprécierez cette histoire.
Dobro jutro! Kakšna ulična parada včeraj. Tale je bil bolj vroč kot prejšnji. Danes bomo obiskali nekatera podeželska mesta v Švici po mestih, predvsem v osrednjem delu Deutschschweiza. Najprej gremo do Glarusa preko Ziegelbrücke, nato Pfäffikon SZ, potem Biberbrugg in Einsiedeln, nato prestopimo na vlak v Arth-Goldau za Erstfeld in Altdorf. Zadnje mestece, ki ga obiščemo, je Flüelen, nato pa gremo v Zürich na razmeroma mirno(er) večerjo v Brasserie Johanniter. To je moj zadnji cel dan v Švici v letu 2003, preden sem šel v München v Nemčiji. Upam, da vam bo ta zgodba všeč.
Dobro jutro! Kakva ulična parada jučer. Ovaj je bio žešći od prethodnog. Danas ćemo posjetiti neke ruralne gradove u Švicarskoj po gradovima, posebno u središnjem dijelu Deutschschweiza. Prvo idemo do Glarusa preko Ziegelbrückea, zatim Pfäffikon SZ, zatim Biberbrugg i Einsiedeln, zatim presjedamo u Arth-Goldau za Erstfeld i Altdorf. Posljednji gradić koji posjećujemo je Flüelen, a zatim idemo u Zürich na relativno mirnu(er) večeru u Brasserie Johanniter. Ovo je moj posljednji cijeli dan u Švicarskoj u 2003. godini, prije odlaska u München, Njemačka. Nadam se da ćete uživati u ovoj priči.
Buongiorno! Che Street Parade ieri. Questo era più caldo dell'ultimo. Oggi visiteremo alcune città rurali della Svizzera per città, in particolare nella parte centrale del Deutschschweiz. Prima andiamo a Glarona via Ziegelbrücke, poi Pfäffikon SZ, poi Biberbrugg e Einsiedeln, poi cambiamo treno ad Arth-Goldau per Erstfeld e Altdorf. L'ultima cittadina che visitiamo è Flüelen, e poi andiamo a Zurigo per una cena relativamente tranquilla alla Brasserie Johanniter. È il mio ultimo giorno intero in Svizzera per l'anno 2003, prima di andare a Monaco, in Germania. Spero che ti piacerà questa storia.
By the time that the other roommates returned last night, I was already asleep. I only woke up to use the bathroom. The room temperature was still hot during the night, and only at 3 AM did the temperature become comfortable. I woke up about 7:45 AM, took a shower and went to breakfast. There were not very many people in the breakfast room, so I could eat more peacefully.
After washing the dishes, I took my bag with me, and instead of walking up the steep path up to the bus stop, I walked under the Limmat bridge to a low covered foot bridge which was past the Landvogteischloss and the Baden historical museum. There was a mural showing sailors in court jester outfits, and the quote below the picture was a poem about the Narrenschiff, or the ship of fools. I was able to walk up the Grabenstrasse to Kirchweg and Mellingerstrasse, to turn right at Bruggerstrasse which led to the SBB rail station.
About 9 AM I boarded a Regional Express to Zürich HB, where I would transfer to another Regional Express to Ziegelbrücke and transfer again to a Regionalbahn for Glarus. At Zürich HB, there were a few people still in their costumes, waiting for their trains home. At least Zürich would shrink down to its usual population of about 800,000 inhabitants. My heart went out to the city workers who had to clean up the trash on the streets. They really worked hard to make Zürich look clean.
About 9:45 AM, the Regional Express, a Dosto, went on the route to Thalwil and Pfäffikon SZ, and went on to Ziegelbrücke. The train announcment went "Reisende nach Glarus sind gebeten hier umzusteigen", "Passengers for Glarus, please change to the connecting train". There would be a Regional Bahn train for Glarus and farther south to Linthal UR. Ziegelbrücke is right on the cantonal boundary in the St. Gallen canton next to Glarus, and is separated by the River Linth, which flows into Lake Zürich. Glarus is one of the original cantons, the other two being Schwyz and the other being Uri. The confederation began in 1291. Over the centuries, parts of adjacent land joined Switzerland, and the last canton, actually carved out of the northwestern part of the Canton of Bern, was Jura, in 1979.
At 10:30 AM, the train departed Ziegelbrücke for Glarus. The ride took less than 15 Minutes. Once I left the rail station, I walked south, towards Ennenda, crossing the Linth. I walked through the park next to Kirchweg. Kirchweg crossed the Linth into Ennenda. The mountains were very beautiful to see on a summer morning. At some stage, maybe when I was just six years old, so in 1978, my parents took me to see Elm in southeast Glarus. In that area, there is a point where St Gallen, Glarus and Graubünden meet. Also, one product that comes from Elm is the sparkling water. There even is a sparkling lemon drink called Elmer Citro, similar to 7 Up and Sprite. I was six years old when I first drank Elmer Citro. Somwhere I have the photo of me with a bottle of Elmer Citro.
At 11 AM, I walked back to Glarus and rode the next Regional Bahn to Ziegelbrücke and Regional Express to Pfäffikon SZ. I then changed to a train for Biberbrugg. I alighted at Biberbrugg to have a look at the rail station. It was one of the few stations on the SBB network that still had level rail crossings that people could legally cross. I suspected that Einsiedeln would be more of a modern station. Eventually years later, Biberbrugg was modernized and there is now an underground passage for pedestrians, and use of the level crossing is no longer legal.
The time came around to 12:30 PM. I boarded a train at Biberbrugg for Arth-Goldau. The train was a Regional Bahn train like the last one, and went through Rothenthurm, Sattel, Steinerberg and finally Arth-Goldau. The train arrived about 1:30 PM. The next train to Erstfeld would not arrive for another half hour, so I managed to explore the station. At Arth-Goldau, there are some cable car trains going southwest to Rigi Kulm. Rigi is just northeast of the cantonal boundary with Luzern. At 2 PM, there was an Intercity train to Erstfeld before it would climb the mountain to Göschenen, so I took it. The train went through Schwyz, Brunnen, crossed the Schwyz-Uri cantonal border at Sisikon, passed through Flüelen, Altdorf and stopped at Erstfeld. I waited on an S Bahn to take me to Altdorf. I arrived at Altdorf about 3:15 PM. The way to the city center was about a half mile long. At the end of Bahnhofstrasse was the Telldenkmal, or the William Tell monument. William Tell was a revolutionary in the Habsburg Empire, fighting for indepencence, and somehow he was forced to shoot an arrow at an apple on the top of his son's head without killing him. The son was not harmed but an apple was perforated. That incident led to eventual independence from the Habsburg Empire and in Altdorf, a monument was erected. It was a good walk from the SBB station to downtown.
There were some busses running on that afternoon, so I boarded a bus, paid a fare of about 4.50 Franken, and rode it to the Flüelen rail station. Flüelen is a lakeside resort on the southeast end of the Vierwaldstättersee, or Lake Lucerne. The lake is shared by the cantons of Uri, Schwyz, Nidwalden and Luzern. On the lakeside next to the station, the flags of all the Swiss cantons can be seen. There is also a marina with space for thirty yachts in total. I spent about twenty minutes enjoying the scenery, before taking a train to Arth-Goldau and a faster train to Zürich HB. For years I had only passed through Flüelen, and on 10th August 2003, I had finally managed to stop there and spend some time.
It was just a little past 4 PM when the train arrived at Flüelen. The train arrived about 4:45 PM in Arth-Goldau, and about 5:15 PM there would be a connecting train which would get me to Zürich HB by about 6:15 PM. At Zürich HB, I walked across the Limmat to Central, and found the Polybahn station. On Sundays the Polybahn does not operate, and I did not have any need to visit ETH Zürich. Note on 24th July 1998, I made a selfie with my striped hat between the plant science center and where the Clausiusbar is located. Instead, I went to Niederdorferstrasse and entered the Brasserie Johanniter. It was good to be back, and my last visit was Sunday afternoon on 9th August 1998. This time they did not have the "Rösti Pizza", so I made do with a local Geschnetzltes and Spätzli. I also enjoyed a full liter of Cardinal beer. The beer really tasted good, just about like a Spaten Helles or Hofbrau Original, of which I would drink much of in Munich. That was a really good meal. I think it cost around 35 Franken with tip.
After supper, it bacame about 8 PM, and I walked around before returning to Zürich HB. I think I returned to Zürich HB about 9 PM. Then I took the Regional Express train to Baden, walked to the hostel and went to my room. I listened to some music before going to sleep. I would have to check out of the hostel in the morning and go on to Munich. Will I get to ride an ICE VT, that is, a diesel-powered Deutsche Bahn ICE tilting train, or will I have to ride the same type of train that I rode on 9th August 1998, namely a locomotive pulled train, called Lokbespannter Zug, in German?
Please join me tomorrow when I make one last walk along the General Guisan Quai, ride a conventional train to Lindau and Munich, ride the U Bahn to Messegelände Ost, then a train and bus combo to Studentenstadt as in Percy Adlon's "Sugarbaby" film, and watch TV in the hotel before going to sleep. Good night!
Bitte begleiten Sie mich morgen, wenn ich einen letzten Spaziergang entlang des General Guisan Quai mache, mit einem konventionellen Zug nach Lindau und München fahre, mit der U-Bahn zum Messegelände Ost fahre und dann mit einer Zug- und Bus-Kombination nach Studentenstadt fahre, wie in Percy Adlons „Sugarbaby“-Film. und vor dem Schlafengehen im Hotel fernsehen. Gute Nacht!
S'il vous plaît, rejoignez-moi demain lorsque je ferai une dernière promenade le long du quai General Guisan, prendre un train conventionnel jusqu'à Lindau et Munich, prendre le U Bahn jusqu'à Messegelände Ost, puis un combo train et bus jusqu'à Studentenstadt comme dans le film "Sugarbaby" de Percy Adlon, et regarder la télévision à l'hôtel avant d'aller dormir. Bonne nuit!
Prosim, pridruži se mi jutri, ko se še zadnjič sprehodim po General Guisan Quai, se vozim z običajnim vlakom do Lindaua in Münchna, se vozim z U Bahnom do Messegelände Ost, nato vlakom in avtobusom do Studentenstadta kot v filmu Percyja Adlona "Sugarbaby", in gledajo televizijo v hotelu pred spanjem. Lahko noč!
Molim vas pridružite mi se sutra kada budem zadnji put šetao General Guisan Quai, vozio se konvencionalnim vlakom do Lindaua i Münchena, vozio se U Bahnom do Messegelände Ost, zatim kombinacijom vlaka i autobusa do Studentenstadta kao u filmu "Sugarbaby" Percyja Adlona, i gledati televiziju u hotelu prije spavanja. Laku noć!
Per favore, unisciti a me domani quando farò un'ultima passeggiata lungo il General Guisan Quai, prenderò un treno convenzionale per Lindau e Monaco, prenderò la U Bahn per Messegelände Ost, poi un treno e un autobus combinato per Studentenstadt come nel film "Sugarbaby" di Percy Adlon, e guardare la TV in albergo prima di andare a dormire. Buona notte!

Süsse Pause – Belgian or Swiss Chocolate?
Freitagnachmittag ist’s, eine erfreuliche Arbeitswoche schon vorbei. Es läuft gut, und ich schaue dem Schuljahresende gelassen entgegen.

Also for anyone into enjoying different cultures and languages!

Italian fascism was trying to defeat a nature [...] by declaring it a priority to civilize the marshes of the Pontine Plain. [...] The swampland was still the habitat of the anopheles mosquito and the dominion of the “Goddess of Fever.” [...] [A] flaw of a primal [...] nature, [...] unproductive [...]. The efforts to create “an idyllic rural area consonant with fascist ideals of productivity [...] within the state’s interests” included extensive electrification of the region, constructing thousands of kilometres of roads and canals and “large pumping and drainage plants called impianti idrovori (drainage pumping stations), in Italian literally ‘water-eating’ machinery plants,” founding an anti-malaria institute, having war veterans plant the region with water-absorbing [non-native] eucalyptus trees (these plants performed their job too well, which is why they were later torn out again at great expense [...]), stocking fish [...], establishing an anti-mosquito militia, and putting up children’s camps whose buildings were wrapped in ten layers of wire to protect them from mosquitoes. “The fascist emphasis on the technical and technological aspects of the land reclamation programme were also characteristic of a positivistic view of [technology and institutionalized knowledge] [...] aimed at controlling, rationalizing and ultimately creating an imperium over a previously unknown or ‘untamed’ area.”
Text by: Fahim Amir. “Cloudy Swords.” e-flux Journal Issue #115. February 2021. [Bold emphasis added by me.]
---
On 24 December 1928 Italy’s fascist regime launched [...] a fourteen-year national land reclamation programme aimed at [...] Italy’s ‘death inducing’ swamps [...]. The Pontine Marshes, a marshland spreading across 75,000 hectares south of Rome was given top priority [...]. [T]he fascist regime used an extensive propaganda machinery to promote the programme [...] as a heroic quest [...]. Newsreels documented step by step the struggle [...], with Mussolini himself often featuring, overseeing the project, or even working the land. [...] This policy [...] aimed [...] [at] improving [...] existing cities by removing “unhealthy” urban areas, through the process of sventramento (disembowelment). [...] Indeed, the project exhibits many similarities in aims and scope to a number of modernising plans that were materialised across the world at around the same time: the Tuscan maremma (1928), a large scale coastal reclamation project; the Zuiderzee dyke project in Holland (1920-1932), which produced the Ijsselmeer, an enclosed area of water that would later host urban settlements [...]; Spain’s ambitious national hydrological plan that would “correct hydrologically the national geographical problem” by introducing a system of dams [...]; Switzerland’s Linth valley hydro engineering scheme that drained marshland and provided the geographical basis for a unified [nationalist] Swiss identity [...]; Greece’s Marathon dam project, that would produce Athens as a western sanitized metropolis [...]. All of these projects shared [...] the desire to link these socially constructed techno-natures to a broader project of promoting national unity and [nationalist] identity.

Origin: Found on Kijimi by Jedi Master Kuilan at age, had very standard Jedi training, and recently gained position as Jedi Archivist. While they believe they are not entirely suited for the role, the council and their peers beg to differ.
Equipment: Standard Jedi robes, but outfitted with a double bladed Sith lightsaber. Found at ancient Sith ruins on archeological expedition, taken because “what’s the use in history if we don’t make people aware it exists?”
Personality: Something of a culture connoisseur. Encourages young Knights to learn other languages or go on long term missions to both assist locals and immerse themselves in the culture as well as the force. Tends not to leave the temple, but will happily listen to Jedi young and old tell stories of their adventures. Fond of showing off carvings to younglings they made with their lightsaber, which serves the dual purpose of showing that the lightsaber is more than just a weapon and letting the archivist have a bit of fun. If Jedi are unsure of their place in the order, Jaina is the first they go to, and will happily guide them to wherever the force decides they belong.

This is a 18+ blog.
Please do NOT interact if you are a minor.
word count: 1,3k characters: mo minx (oc), zora enavi (oc), more ocs warnings: order 66, mentions of death
order 66 is probably one of the most interesting events in Star Wars to me. this is mo's experience, I hope you like it! I wrote this over the span of multiple nights, so apologies if its a bit rough <3
Tumblr media
Having a mirialan master as a human padawan was always something people would consider bizarre about Mo but to him, it was nothing but an average educational relationship. He adored Master Enavi; the endearing support she offered him, how patiently she worked with him and the familial connection they had built up over the years, truly he admired her. And even if the Jedi code likely wouldn’t think as greatly of it as Master Enavi did, he couldn’t help but recognise his late mother in her. That warm smile, the way her eyes lit up when she noticed her dear Padawan, everything made him think of the woman who once gifted him life and who’s life was taken away far too soon. Some nights, Mo would lie awake and think, maybe Master Enavi was sent to him, maybe she was a gift from the universe; perhaps a second chance.
And he couldn’t risk losing that chance.
Tumblr media
Mo’s knuckles turned white from the tight grip he had on his inactive lightsaber, a fearful spark in his eyes as he felt himself break into a cold sweat. He had been hiding in a narrow crevice - a gap leading to a small underground cave - in the stone ground for about two hours now and the thought of getting caught pinned him down.
It had been fifteen minutes since the last trooper patrol passed by, the steps above him still resonating in Mo’s ears. His heart raced, the lightsaber handle slipping through his sweaty hands. He had to get out of here, find Master Enavi and figure out a what was going on!
It had happened all of sudden. They were huddled together in the midst of a mission; Mo, Master Enavi, Master Linth and his Padawan and the batch of troopers they had dragged along, all of which were soldiers they would have trusted their lives with. The weather was humid but with its entirely tree-covered forests, it really was nothing particularly notable on Kashyyyk. Everything seemed fine and for a moment, the universe seemed to heal, perhaps even feeling peaceful.
Until the message came through.
Commander Kylak had excused himself from the group and moved to the back to receive it. The rumour that the war was at its end had unsurprisingly started to spread around and when he had watched the clone commander rush away, Mo felt his heart pace quicken in excitement.
Was this it? Would they be able to rest easily again from now on?
But his hope quickly died down when he watched the commander lower his arm slowly. His body language was tense and a bizarre aura radiated off him. Then everything happened fast. At once and as if it had been rehearsed, blasters were threateningly pointed at the Jedi. Master Linth and his Padawan barely had had the chance to pull out their sabers when countless bolts struck their bodies and they fell cold to the ground.
Mo could still hear his master's order resonating in his ears. "Go, Mylo! Leave!" He hadn't wasted a second to flee the scenery, scrambling to his feet and running without looking back until his legs ached and his breath got caught in his throat. He didn't know where Master Enavi had gone, or if she had even made it out alive. But he knew better then to look back. Someone had to survive, right?
"What do I do, what do I do..." Mo paced around the confined cave, mumbling incomprehensible sentences and fiddling with the hilt of his lightsaber. Risking his life seemed dumb but he had to know what was going on. Finally, he caught himself and stared up at the rising sun that lit the cave, sending rays of light through the gap. He squinted his eyes and dug his hands into the crevice, pulling his body through it until he was fully outside. The temperature was stable, the air still as humid as it was a few hours back. There, trooper voices in the distance!
What now? Mo looked drastically around before throwing himself into a nearby bush. “Anything new on General Enavi’s location?” The voice of Commander Kylak rang through the forest. “No, sir.” Mo let out a sigh of relief; his master had escaped. But there was no time to let his guard down; the troopers were nearby. Between the branches of his hiding place, Mo could barley make out the white armour of the clone soldiers. He bit the inside of his cheek nervously, narrowing his eyes to clear his view when suddenly, he felt someone grab his shoulder and a hand covered his mouth before he could let out a yelp. Mo was roughly spun around and … set to look into none other than Master Enavi’s amethyst eyes. His own pair widened but before he could muffle out a range of happy noises beneath her hand, she raised her index to her shut lips, indicating for him to be quiet and slowly pulled her hand away.
“Are you okay?” She asked quietly, a worrisome expression plastered on her face. “Yes, I’m fine-,” Mo stumbled over his words until realisation hit and he broke into a sob, “I was so worried, I thought - I thought you were gone!” Master Enavi checked their surroundings warily before embracing her student into a tight hug. “It’s alright, we’re alright,” She whispered comfortingly and brushed a strand of caramel hair out of his face, “I need you to stay calm, do you understand?” Mo swallowed the lump of overwhelming feelings in his throat and nodded. “Good, perfect.”
When they finally separated, Mo’s hands were shaking and before he could store his lightsaber on his belt, the hilt slipped out of his hand and noisily landed on the ground.
“What was that?”
Their blood ran cold in their veins. A single trooper approached their hiding spot. Master Enavi observed the clone through the branches of the bush, activating her own saber. A violet laser blade lit up their surroundings and buzzed menacingly. “Stay here,” she mouthed and creeped closer to the trooper as he spun around with a raised blaster, searching for the source of the sound. When she was finally crouching behind him, his fate was sealed and the hilt of the weapon struck him roughly, causing him to drop his gun and fall unconsciously to the ground.
Mo couldn’t contain a smile: even in a situation like this, where their once closest comrades had turned their backs on them, Master Enavi still refused to go against the Jedi Code and use violence. She truly was a loyal knight to the Order. But this success was short lived.
“There she is! The general!”
Suddenly, remaining troopers came for them, rushing with readied weapons. Master Enavi face dropped but she remained calm, gripping her saber tightly. "Master!" Mo, who had managed to squeeze past the branches, called out for her but she only glanced back at him, her lips pressed together in a firm line. "You need to leave! Hide and save yourself!" The Padawan was taken aback but quickly caught himself when he heard the footsteps of the soldiers closing in. With a final 'go!' from his master, Mo - although hesitant - crouched back into the bush, his back to the large tree that grew proudly past the branches when the first tears of realisation started to prick up in his eyes.
He had left her behind. Only a few feet away, he could hear the buzzing sounds of blaster bolts hitting the laser blade. For a minute, his hopes were up that his master might make it out alive, that he'd be able to unite with her again and lay low from then on until ...
Until there was no more buzzing sounds and only metal clattering to the ground. Mo's eyes widened and he felt the hot tears flow over. "Where's the Padawan?" A clone's static voice rang through the air. "Not here," Master Enavi spat, "and I'd rather die than tell you." "We can arrange that." Mo clasped a hand over his mouth to silence his heavy sobs. Then, a final shot echoed through the forest and he knew his master was gone.
