Been doing a little exploring. It seems that St Gallen is set in a kind of bowl, with steep inclines on each side. The University is on the side of one of these and it is a half-hour walk to get up to it. Heading the other way, past the huge cathedral that dominates the centre of the city (the bells of which dominate the sounds of the city too) there is a street that has been dyed red, with benches shaped to resemble sofas. It also has large grey blobs suspended between buildings around thirty feet up. I don't know what these are supposed to represent, presumably the current location of the grey ordinariness of the street. The overall effect is pretty surreal and I like it.
