This afternoon we caught the train into Zurich and went for a walk to look at the Weihnachts Markt and the various Christmas displays in the shop windows.
We happened upon a large group of people blowing bubbles outside of Credit Suisse on Paradeplatz.
We have no idea why this was happening, but everyone there seemed to have come with their own bottle of bubbles. There were no signs of any kind or indication as to the meaning of this mass bubble blowing. Seemed oddly whimsical for the German-speaking part of Switzerland, which is usually so stoic.Anyone out there know what was going on?

I think it might have been a humoristic demonstration against the Swiss bank's involvment in the US housing market bubble that just recently burst...?!
(See my recent blog entries on that subject)
