I mean, I am new to Basel, new to the country! Anyway, with the right connections you can come to the strangest places!
I was on a new years apero (snacks and drinks mingling) with the Rotary club that I have visited before here in Basel. It was very nice and I recognised some people and was introduced to some new. A couple of new business cards are laying in my wallet awaiting response tomorrow!
One of the Rotary members asked me after some time to come to another New Years apero that are taking place at big private hospital. I joined!
When we came the red carpet was prepared for the guests. There where lights along the way to guide you to the right place. The CEO was greeting everyone at the entrance, really nice!
People were nicely dressed up, it was a lit if important people there I was told... The CEO of that, the director of that bank, the manager of this and the owner of that.
When entering the party we took the elevator to the second floor. This was where the cold food was served. Oysters, salmon, foie gras etc... and champagne of course! We found some people to socialise with that later accompanied us to the eight floor where the warmer food was served. It was lobster served in sea shells, some sort of shark bits in wasabi and some nice red meet. All very delicious! You could also have a look at the view, skyline of Basel. When we had grown tired of that floor we went back to the first floor for desert. Mmmm there were a jazz band playing, you could get coffee if you wanted, some cheese if you preferred that in front of the little sweet portions of delicate creations.
After the first floor it was time to go home.
That was an evening to remember!
