Thanks for looking and commenting, Joel. The graffiti is in English,
since it was most likely written by some anti-globalization types who
had come to Switzerland to protest at the WEF in Davos, as they do
every year. Since the security forces keep them away from Davos, they
tend to stage protests in Swiss cities like Zurich or Geneva.
And yes, being compared to Tom is flattering indeed!
Cheers,
Nathan
