I wake up the next morning in my bathtub. I take a shower and look at my balance. Still got $3968. I pick one of the suits in the wardrobe. I decide to get some history in me. I wanted to go to the Historical Museum of Bern. So I get a taxi and go there. It’s about a 1 hour and 25 minutes’ drive. I arrived and gave the driver $219.66. I went to the museum and payed the front entrance fee of CHF 13 or $13. I walk in and see THE FUTURE. I saw the VERY FIRST combination multi tool invented in the 1700's. I saw gold-covered German helmets from the 1800's Germanic empire and the division of the states. Even St Pancratius skeleton in armor. GOLD-ARMOR. Now I also found out how Switzerland was founded. The Swiss Confederation was founded in 1291 as a defense alliance among three cantons. In succeeding years, other localities joined the original three. The Swiss Confederation secured its independence from the Holy Roman Empire in 1499. A constitution of 1848, subsequently modified in 1874, replaced the confederation with a central federal government. Switzerland's sovereignty and neutrality have long been honored by the major European powers and the country was not involved in either of the first two World Wars. The political and economic integration of Europe over the past half century, as well as Switzerland's role in many UN and international organizations, has strengthened Switzerland's ties with its neighbors, however, the country did not officially become a UN member until 2002. Switzerland remains active in many UN and international organizations but retains a strong commitment to neutrality. Unlike most of its neighbors, Switzerland is not a member of NATO or the European Union. However, on 12 December 2008 it implemented the Schengen Agreement in which border controls with other Schengen members were eliminated while at the same those with non-Schengen countries were strengthened. Switzerland has the Swiss Franc as its currency. The Swiss Franc is a little bit more value than the American dollar.
I was very intrigued that the US Dollar is worth more over in Switzerland that any other country. Pretty cool. I also saw the first multi-tool. Ironically it had a spoon, fork, and butter knife than the standard cut-saw, combat knife, and scissors. I continued to walk around for a while and saw armor dating back to the 1200's, some old military arms during pre-WW. Did you know Switzerland is the 2nd highest for citizens caring arms? It is mandatory in Switzerland to have at least 3 guns. They do it as a small militia for each canton or govern state to defend the country. I left the museum and went to Klosterli Weincafe. I walk in and I'm immediately greeted by staff. Well it’s going to be a long night.....
