Zmorgä is Swiss-German word for Breakfast. Literally translates to "Zum Morgen" or "To/For the Morning". Other similar meal terms are: Znüni (Coffee @ 9AM), Zmittag (Lunch), Zvieri (Snack @ 4PM) and Znacht (Dinner).

A weekday Zmorgä is usually very quick and typically taken between 6:30 - 7:30 AM - depending on when one leaves home for work/school. It's on the weekends that the humble weekday Zmorgä takes on a rather elaborate and almost festive look and feel.

So when i see an Ad in the local Church Pamphlet for a Saturday Ladies Zmorgä, i think to myself that this might be a good meet and greet opportunity with the local women of Seelisberg. At 8:55AM, i'm sitting with 11 other women in the Restaurant Träumli.

The women are all curious who this new dark-skinned woman at the table is... A couple i know already, and before we begin, as is the Swiss-tradition, we shake hands with everyone in the group. I try to memorise all the names - (Ursula, Beatrix, Sylvia, Greth, Thesi, Luzia, Monika, Monika Wipfli, Andrea, Nadja and Sonja), hoping there's no quiz at the end of the brunch!
