Something funny was going on in Aarau yesterday. I wandered down into the town and found that in addition to the markets (fruit and veg and flowers) that are there every Saturday, and the flea markets that are on once a month or so, there were also several streets blocked off to allow shops to set up outdoor stalls to sell stuff, there were at least two lots of organised musical performance, there were people everywhere, and there was a skateboardy type shop that seemed to be having its grand opening and was giving away glasses of champagne. Reto and I went to the cigar shop to have a coffee (!strange, but it has nice outdoor seating) and shortly after we sat down these dudes started breakdancing on the footpath across the street (which was really, really impressive), which then sort of turned into breakdancing in the street and holding up traffic (which was also great).
On the way home some woman who seemed to be doing something promotional with these cigarette/cigar combo things offered us a free sample. Surely that sort of thing should be illegal (as in giving away free samples of addictive/lethal items)? I was outraged. Reto didn't seem to care.

Sounds like you walked into a Coca Cola GTA-themed commercial :)
- and yes, handing out free samples to addictive things should be illegal. Especially when it is PROVEN that it is addictive.
- the first fix is free...
Phil and I saw people doing parkour/traceur type jumps and swings and flips in trees in Southbank in Melbourne the other day. It was great. We sat in the sun in a cafe, listening to a jazz band and watching feats of athleticism for an hour or so.
