Schaffhausen used to be where my father stayed during his time as a tiler on assembly work in Switzerland. Nice part of the country with very friendly people around. We often visited the Rheinfälle, since it was just 5 minutes from the hotel where all the workers stayed. The surrounding area with its great nature makes for some nice hiking trips, definitely worth a visit. If Schwyzerdytsch is used, it doesn’t need any Trump or other names: it’s Ryfall then IIRC, spoken with an “ü” instead of a hard y. Even though I audibly chortled at “Rhizzfälle” 😂

Yesterday I was too tired to shave, after an excursion into Pitralonistan. We went to see the Rheinfälle in Schaffhausen, which was quite impressive (think Niagara falls, but in Switzerland). The place has potential, but I couldn’t help noticing how poor the branding is. In German, Rheinfälle is homophonous with failures. How difficult could it be to rename the whole thing to something more appealing - something like Rhizzfalls or the like? Or maybe just slap some Trump branding on it, in exchange to get rid of the extreme tarrifs? Anyways, that’s enough advice for Tourism Switzerland for today.
Have a good evening!!

I don’t think the Swiss could handle Trump’s style, even for signage. 😉
