Jet d'Eau

As you can see that Jet d'Eau is a large fountain in Geneva,Switzerland. Precisely, it is located in Lake Geneva.  Jet d'Eau has been one of the most famous landmarks in Switzerland, as it has been crowned as one of the largest fountain in world.

The fact is, based on the Wikipedia it states that five hundreds liters or about 132 gallons of water are jetted every second and this fountain is consuming over one megawatt of electricity. I believe that the government has spent a huge amount of money for this fountain.

This 'Expensive' fountain was first installed in 1886 and wasn't at its current place right now. It was located at the Usine de la Coulouvrenière, a little further downstream from its present location. Yet, in 1891, its aesthetic value was recognized and was moved to its current location today, in purpose to celebrate  the Federal Gymnastics Festival and the 600th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation. And this fountain has been operated everyday except if there is frost or hard wind. Moreover this fountain has attracted millions of tourists to visit this fountain in Geneva,Switzerland.

Sun Flower in Switzerland

Switzerland is a country which is located in Europe region but Switzerland is one of several countries which aren't merge into the Europe union. Nevertheless Switzerland has become one of the most peaceful country in the world and I wish I could spend my old time there.

Switzerland is using Swiss franc which is their own currency. Even though it has lower exchange rate than euro. But I really applaud them for the Swiss franc exchange rate remained higher than the U.S. dollar. And I believe that it's a satisfactory achievement for every country in the world.

Switzerland capital is Bern. Yet we visited Geneva. Geneva is the second most popular city, after Zurich. Geneva is popular with it's ice cream, chocolate and of course the Jet d'Eau. But I won't write about these things today.

When we stayed there we spent our spare time to walk around the hotel. Today I'll post a sunflower garden which is located near our hotel and we have never find thing like this before in my own hometown. I'll show you how beautiful the sunflower is growing in Switzerland.  Because there is a difference between the sunflowers in Switzerland than in the other countries. And the difference issss......

You solve it by yourself. LOL. HAHAHAHA. Because the truth is I don't know what is the difference between them.  But I guarantee that the sunflowers here is really beautiful.
