Therefore it came as no surprise when I found out Geneva is the most expensive city in Europe and the 5th most expensive city in the world. In American dollars, a medium Big Mac value meal at McDonalds was $13.5! Although it tastes somewhat different (Luckily, it’s better than at home, and rightfully so, I could eat about 11 damn McChickens for that price!), I can’t say it merits 12.5 Francs. First and foremost, as you can tell by my elegant choice of title, it’s outlandishly expensive.
Let me give you a little background information on Geneva. I just got back from Geneva, Switzerland yesterday and I figured I am going to be in the Veesh for a while, so no need to rush into that (Seriously, you’re not missing much anyway lol). So I know I said my next post was going to be Vichy, but I lied. The concession stand will offer turkey hotdogs, granola bars, fresh fruit, fruit roll-ups and pizza that`s similar to what McDonald`s is test-marketing at some of its restaurants-but no hamburgers.įinal sketches show an open, bilevel playroom with a 350-foot long tunnel hanging from the ceiling and comprising the second level.Happy Monday everybody, hope everyone had a great weekend/SB11.

Parents can rest in a glass-encased adult viewing room equipped with a regular TV and video monitors showing scenes from the center, or read with their children at a special library where books can be purchased or checked out.
Children also will be given wrist bands with their phone numbers printed on them, and will be prohibited from leaving unless accompanied by the same adult who brought them to the center. To ensure safety, several dozen counselors trained in first aid and children`s physical education or psychology will monitor the children. The prototype will be open daily, from 9 a.m.
The entry fee will be $4.95 per child, good for the entire day. They set out to devise a center that would help develop children`s muscles, cardiovascular system, coordination and social skills. Unlike a day-care center, children must be accompanied by an adult-an encouragement to get parents and children to play together.Ī team of about 10 child psychologists, fitness experts and McDonald`s officials began work on the center eight months ago.

Magnuson said the prototype Leaps & Bounds center, 11,000-square-feet in a 1-year-old shopping strip in northwestern Naperville near a McDonald`s restaurant, is intended to offer families an alternative to, among other things, arcades, where children go without their parents, ''passive''Įntertainment such as movies and high-priced ventures such as professional sporting events and amusement parks. The high fertility rate, declining fitness performance of American children and ''the pressure for parents in dual-income homes to spend quality time with their children'' should help boost the industry, Gunion said.

A similar concept was launched in early 1990 when Discovery Zone Inc., based in Kansas City, Mo., started the first franchise system of indoor playland and physical fitness centers for children.
