Hi Mike,

I was just reviewing the membership list for Canadians and I found you.

My name is Dick Weibelzahl and as well as a member of the WRTA and some of its groups, I am the President of ISE Cards, Canada. We provide ISE Cards to Students (ages 12 up) & Youth (ages 12 to 25 inclusive) as well as faculty and staff of schools. ISE Cardholders automatically receive all kinds of benefits as well as access to 10's of 000's of discounts around the world on anything from travel fares to accommodation, meals, tours, language classes, theatres, museums, galleries, etc.

If your clients fit our eligibility rules, then you may wish to participate in our program. We provide good commissions on Card sales and huge benefits to your clients. Check out my web site at www.isecard.ca for more information on our program.

In any event, good to see more Canadians here.

Hi Mike, I've seen a lot of beautiful places, but your video took my breath away. Thank you for giving me the Switzerland experience. It has been a place I wanted to see someday, but now it is a place I will plan to see. We celebrated my birthday in Quebec (old town) and enjoyed our Canadian visit.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for sharing your video on Basel. I now consider visiting Basel in the future. You successfuly managed to highlight the richness and variety of numerous attractions in a rich but concise panorama.

I have been to Switzerland. We don't do to many speculative type groups. We mainly send professional and volunteer missionaries on mission projects. We have done a few groups of the type you mention. For example, "Great Preachers of Great Britain".
