Picture above: The entrance to the House of Switzerland (HoS) in the 798 Art Zone of Beijing. Note the discreet advertising board! 
Picture above: Ying Low serving tequila shooters flavoured with sheep's blood! Sorry, I meant small offerings of 'Gazpacho' (a Spanish favourite in Switzerland naturally!). Today the House of Switzerland (HoS) served its first guests. However instead of 550 paying guests sipping champagne and delightful canapes courtesy of the kitchen from Gamma Catering, served professionally by our students and those from Cesar Ritz in true style, it was in fact for reporters, journalists, the press and media, so definitely not guests at all! The HoS was more like a bees nest (not birds nest!) of people clambering to take photos and interviews with models, celebrities and fashion designers for a carefully orchestrated fashion show hosted by 'Triumph'. That said, it broke the ice for those in F&B and sets the HoS up nicely for Swiss National day in the HoS tomorrow. One that will certainly be a more dignified affair! And now for some more photos of IMI students....
Picture above: Sumire Sakuma and Cindy Liu clearly enjoying every minute working 15 hrs a day!
Picture above: Pik Shin Wong and Andy Choy in the kitchen and always smiling despite the long hours! Please note Andy is wearing a delicate and hand embroidered chef's jacket supplied by 'Triumph' which is light, soft to touch yet revealing in a discreet kitchen kind of way!
Fascinating fact for today: Michael Hyvärinen did not meet any supermodels contrary to his imagination!
Weather in Beijing today: Not a good day to start smoking!
Until tomorrow! Keep posting your comments!

I find it super how the IMI students are dooing their jobs.
Hans Jost: thanks, they are certainly working hard and all at IMI should be very proud of their effort, motivation and of course their staminar.
