In Switzerland, I got robbed by instant noodles...

Just returned from Jungfraujoch and was completely shocked by Swiss prices... A regular bowl of instant noodles costs 8 euros (about 70 yuan) and chopsticks, spoons, and forks all require extra payment😭 If you don't want to cry over being ripped off, please read this note completely - I'll show you step by step how to save enough for a cheese fondue meal‼️ 🧳【Mountain Preparation】 1️⃣ Instant noodles + thermos are essential Swiss supermarket noodles truly don't come with forks❗️ Bring your own folding utensils + insulated food jar filled with hot water. COOP supermarket cup noodles (2.9 francs) are 1/3 cheaper than at the station - look for the red logo so you don't go to the wrong place 2️⃣ Download SBB Mobile in advance Super accurate for real-time train schedules! The Jungfrau train transfer station Kleine Scheidegg often adjusts departure times without notice, don't waste time staring at the electronic display 3️⃣ Buy breakfast early Convenience stores in Grindelwald village at the foot of the mountain open at 7am, sandwiches are half the price of the summit (and crucially, no lines to fight through) 🚂【Travel Tips】 ✅Transfer stations have free water dispensers (hidden next to the restrooms), fill your wide-mouth thermos before heading to the summit ✅Order kids' meals at the summit restaurant (12 francs including hot drink + fries + chicken nuggets), better value than ordering coffee alone ✅Down jacket + windbreaker + thin sweater is the winning combination! The viewing platform has wind comparable to 10 industrial fans - bring a thin down jacket even in summer ⚠️Don't throw away your Jungfrau ticket! You can exchange it for free chocolate when going down (at the Interlaken station counter) ⚠️Bring 2 power banks! At -10°C on the mountain, your phone turns into a brick instantly ⚠️Buy anti-slip shoe covers in advance, 5 francs at the foot vs 25 francs at the summit ⚠️Restrooms require coins, prepare 1 franc coins (summit restroom locks will swallow paper money) 🚞 【Transportation/Activity Tips】 👉🏻Friends with Swiss Travel Pass remember to reserve seats in advance (save 35%!) Sit on the right window side going up to see the panoramic glacier view 👉🏻For the return trip, come down at least 2 hours before the last train - if the weather is good, you can see the sunset turning the snow peaks pink-gold 🎫[Swiss Travel Pass] 3/4/6/8/15 day validity options, Chinese customer service available throughout 🎫[Jungfrau transportation/activity package] Round trip from Interlaken/Grindelwald, additional discounts with STP 🚗[Jungfrau day/multi-day tours] Chinese/English speaking guides available, departures from Lucerne/Zurich/Geneva/Grindelwald/Interlaken available... 🤔PS. Although prices on Jungfrau are truly outrageous (everything has to be transported by small trains after all), Switzerland's beauty is absolutely worth it!
