Let's hope Barry got the
traditional souvenir "schraegstehendes Weinglas,
das auf dem Speisewagentisch in steilen Kurven so gedreht werden kann,
dass trotz Schraeglage des Wagens kein kostbarer Tropfen verlorengeht".
Note what length the crafty Swiss go to in order to lure foreign gawkers
to the (well, mostly) Romansh-speaking Engadin.
