Places and Names

When I went to the annual edMedia conference in 2004 in Lugano I caught a train from Zurich to Lugano. One of those Swiss trains that runs like, well, clockwork (it had to be said). I caught a slow train, stopping at quite a few stations, not one of the bigger faster intercity, inter-country expresses. Leisurely travel along valleys with cloud tagged mountains. One town was called Zug. In English “Zug” is just a wonderful word, bordering on the absurd. There should be more places called Zug. We need more places called Zug.
