Now the year 2018 comes to an end. A good time to pause for a moment. The Next, Next can wait. For once we look back. On the following double page, we have mapped the year. We count the number of occasions, the Zurich in the last twelve months have marked; remind you of events, phenomena, to talk; to tell of joyous moments and sad news.

Tops and Flops, city life and culture, the sounds according to a rigid Schema. The opposite is the case. So, we can show the smooth Transitions between the terms. The famous Wiedikerli-Sausage product, or are already cultural heritage, for example? Giselle annoyed with the constant presence at every Hipster event. But it is also a good Alternative to other Apérogetränken. Ambivalent our attitude in relation to the many, many Pop-up bars, which enliven the culinary scene, but also nervous.

Sure we are, however, in terms of E-scooters, unicorn-Böötli, the Zurich festival, or Sophie Hunger. But read for yourself. And above all: Build your own in 2018.
