We went to the the Swiss town of Einsieden for their famous “World Theater” carnival, the chilbi (pronounced “khill-bee”). The logo is an angel holding a lit packet of dynamite! Which sums up the sweet and slightly anarchistic chilbi. After winding your way through a forrest of bier gartens, you can risk your life on the carnival rides. In a personal injury lawyer’s wet dreams, the rides consist of people getting flung off whirling platforms and bounced off rickety benches. They reset their shoulders and get back in line for more. We have some video footage of the hysteria, TBP. These rides are even more popular than racing mechanical camels.
