Day 5 (21 April 2017) in Bern, Switzerland

Today was our last day of the meeting, and we adjourned the meeting at noon. We had a free afternoon. A friend of mine from Taiwan and my self took off for a walk right after lunch. We went to university of Bern on our way to Einstein house. Einstein lived in Bern from 1902 - 1909; and he lived in three different apartments during this time. I visited one of them, where he lived in a little over two years. His apartment has three rooms, a bed room, living room, and another bed room for his little son, Hans Einstein. According to his life story portrayed at his apartment, located at Kramgasse 49, 2nd floor, which is open to visitors with minimal entrance fee (6 FC for adult), he had really very ups and down unpleasant private life. The first floor of the apartment is now coffee shops, which they sell a beer named after Einstein. The waiter told us this beer can ONLY be found here.

Clock Tower (Zytglogge), which is one of Bern's most important sights; an ornate astronomical clock with its moving figures that was built in 1530. It served as the city's main clock and thus had an authoritative function in Bern.
