Since I have started my journey from Dijon, France and I had no initial plan to go somewhere,I just looked at the map and found Basel which is close to Dijon and Cheap and a city to start my trip. from Dijon, I have bought the train ticket by 25 EUR and it took like 5 hours to go. its not like its far but our train was late and we had to change our train 3 times. me and my Indian friend Ashis, who actually had no interest on Basel, arrived Basel SBB at night and decided to visit the city to see the night life. honestly speaking we were disappointed. the city was in deep sleep. we walked throguh the old part of the city and by the river Rhone. after crossing the river, we found some sign of life in some bars. we checked out those pubs curiously and found all of them stip bar. around 2am, we return to railstation and spent the whole night there. next morning we said Bye bye to basel and went to Zurich.

on the way back from munich to france, we went again to basel. this time we got some time with day light and i wanted to check out the place where France, Germany and Switzerland meet each other. its a point on the river which I have found very interesting. they have a shopping mall and a bridge over the palce with EU flag. somehow I have realised that except that, Basel is not a city for travellers. some pics from the city is attached here.
