I was recently in Leukerbad again and had a problem
but this time I already knew I should go and see
Hallo Ludwig!
Ah, you're back! Have you got a problem?
It's a long story
I went out last night, it was brilliant
The nightlife in Leukerbad is something different - real underground!
Vieux Valais – the place to be.
No bouncers
No queue
No mainstream
No David Guetta
Just VIPs - and the best barman in the world!
In my head I hear a guitar riff
So I head for the bar, handshake.
Great people!
I say the classic "Salü" and am immediately part of the group.
He asks if I would like to try some Valais wine
Red wine would be perfect!
Out comes the cork
A glass on the bar
Pinot Noir vintage 2003
Aged 13 months in an oak barrel
14.8 per cent alcohol by volume
Pure pleasure!
Hey lad, you need to take care!
I suddenly have a déjà-vu:
Hey Julian, you need to take care!
They are right, actually, I do need to take care.
But I am a connoisseur
I only drink a little sip!
A rich bouquet of forest berries
Good length with a hint of crème brûlée.
Would you like a drop of white wine?
I do need to take care!
Would you like the whole bottle?
When he asks so nicely I can hardly say no
Right, round 2
Same procedure!
Anyway, I'm more the white-wine type.
Swirl it around the glass, smell the bouquet
It really wants something earthy, nutty, to go with it...
And I think - can this guy read my mind?
Of course I can read your mind!
That's crazy!
Must be part of the service here.
So I have a nut
But what was it my doctor said?
Julian, I'm really sorry
But we have now received the test results
and unfortunately I have to tell you
that you suffer from a classic case of nut allergy.
Why me?
To put it in a nutshell
every time I eat nuts, I get the hiccups.
I think: Julian, keep calm!
And I say to myself: Julian, keep calm!
I look left and what do I see?
Isn't that the finalist from "Leukerbad’s Next Top Model"?
I mustn't mess this one up.
What was it Freddy was telling me?
When you have the hiccups
you should swallow three times
and think of a yellow frog.
Yellow frogs are so cool!
Hallo!
One
two
three
yellow frog!
That didn't work at all.
What was the man next to me saying again?
Lad, I told you, you need to take care!
I desperately need some water
H2O
fluids
some liquid!
The barman can read my mind again!
One
two
two
one
three
What a great atmosphere!
Yellow frog!
Hey DJ, play a track by DJ Antoine!
Who put this thing round my neck?
Barman!
And now I'm here and I've got an awful headache…
When you have a hangover, three things help:
First, go 16 times down the water slide!
Second, a good raclette with two big potatoes!
Third, burn the clothes that you were wearing last night!
Don't try to copy this at home
because it only ever works here in Leukerbad
Ludwig knows what's what
