The HoS Beijing is located in a great district: old factories transformed in art galleries and lofts. There are people walking around everywhere with one building with a long line of visitors queuing to get in: the HoS. Inside more queues for the ice cream and the chocolate making demonstration. The exhibitors are very happy with the turn-out, according to the project manager Eddy Rudolf from Luzern Tourism, there have been 80'000 visitors so far. The concept of promoting Swiss products and the tourism regions is definitely more elaborate than in Athens and Torino. The restaurant area and VIP lounge are also extremely busy and there we feel the Olympic spirit with the Swiss athletes, Olympic officials and media watching Swiss TV broadcast while enjoying a raclette with Fendant or/and a bratwurst with Eichof beer. The "César Ritz" students and the entire staff from Gamma are working very hard especially when the Swiss delegation celebrates their medals. F. Cancellara, K. Thurig, S. Ashwanden... Memories from Athens and Torino come to mind: Mr Gross serving serving the sparkling wine, Chef Marc Patry and Chef Rudi Lutolf bringing out the cake....
