Tourism

[gerbie]

On Tenerife I noticed a few things that I just thought weren't as they should be:

A propper trying to get people into a restaurant, with the opening sentence: "Sorry to disturb you..."

A restaurant with a sign on the window: "Closed from july 28th until september 6th due to staff holidays" in the middle of high season.

A salesgirl in a souvenirshop dusting the postcards.

You know, some italian on Rembrantplein tried to usher me into the restaurant by opening like that. It didn't work there either.

Here in Geneva, lots of places are closed in August for staff holidays, including the most popular ice cream store in town.

Still Geneva is something different than Los Christianos on Tenerife, a town living from tourism.
