Welcome to Switzerland/Austria! An excellent video and a curious stamp.

After long days of hectic expectation the curtain has fallen. The greatest sports events ever to be witnessed by the snowcapped Alps begins.

Welcome to Switzerland/Austria and may fair-play, sportsmanship, passion and enthusiasm be the driving forces of this great sports event!

If you want to have a quick humourous overview of Swiss and Austrian clichés, watch the following video created by Robin Sander.

Furthermore, if you still don’t own it, take the first flight to Austria, have a beer, visit Schonbrunn and most of all buy yourself the Andi Herzog stamp with lenticular printing!

I received this stamp through my Austrian teacher and have to say it’s worth the expensive price! The stamp shows a small video with Andi Herzog’s extraordinary goal against Sweden in 1997 that granted Austria a spot at the World Cup in France.
