Fine Business Shirts and Ties in Gundeli
A new mens business wear shop has opened at Güterstrasse (I guess its number 245) opposite the schoolyard and the WISO second hand shop.
It offers a wide variety of business shirts, silk ties and business wear of high quality for very reasonable prices!

Eating Dinner on a Monday night
A wonderful exception in Gundeli which is also not too pricey is the Thiersteinerhof at Thiersteinerallee. Food prices are in the range of a Pizza Delivery service plus setting (around 18 CHF for a Pizza and 20 Francs for Pasta, Meat for about 30 Francs). The food is delicious, the restaurant has outdoor seating and is quite neat and tidy.
The restaurant is held by Antonio Germano who worked for the fabulous Restaurant Rösslirytti earlier. You can certainly taste that!

Off Gundeli Topic: Spa Heaven!
Finally! My dreams have come true! Basel finally has a Spa which deserves its name. The City Spa with its Butterfly logo can be found at Brunngässlein 3 (near the Armani Store opposite DKNY at Aeschenvorstadt).
City Spa offers a wide range of treatments and massages for men and women which are at par with premium wellness resorts in India and Thailand. The reception is warm and inviting with a cozy seating area, bar and children area! The predominant colors are red and orange. The light and sound are dimmed downstairs at the treatment area, where only the sound of a little fountain and light music can be heard.
Body pampering: several packages from Bali, Java, Thailand, Brazil offer relaxation and revitalization. Besides that City Spa also offers Rassoul treatments and Thalasso therapy.
Beauty: waxing (also with sugar and lime, oriental style). Teenagers pay half the price on Wednesdays!
Massages: besides heavenly relaxation massages with City Spa custom made massage oils, they also offer an excellent trigger-point sports massage, foot reflex therapy, lymphatic drainage and deep tissue massage. Massages cost 100 CHF per hour.
Yoga: City Spa offers daily Yoga lessons at a price of 35 CHF.

It's hot in Gundeli!
Adapting back to Gundeli is quite tricky, most of all when I compare the grocery prices and the quality of grocery goods (three times the prices for half the quality). But enough ranting about, after all Gundeli is great and I am glad to be back home.
What has changed in this week in Gundeli? Not much. The Cat Shelter of Basel had their open door event on August 26th. I had been there a day ahead to buy cool stuff for my cats. If you need a furry companion of any size, check out their residents.
