When movie ''Bohimian Rapsredy'' came out my mom said (while being in Slovenia for holidays):'' I know you will be busy visiting your friends, but can you have one evening time for us to go to the cinema and whatch the movie?''. Whell, OF COURSE. The movie was amazing and all I could thing back then was, how amazing it would be if my mom comes to visit me and we go to Montreux to see the actual Studio?
That chance finally came in October 2021, when she came to visit me and stayed over for a week. So, we sat on the train and 2h later we were in Montrux.
