Do you think you could occupy a seat in the United Nations representing 31 000 people and keep a straight face when hob-nobbing with the Chinese delegate who represents 1 200 000 000? Why not, after all, San Marino only has 22 000 people and it has a seat! You can laugh as much as you please about this "cinema musical" principality but its gross domestic product per capita is the world's highest followed by Luxembourg (34 155$, also banking) and Brunei (30 447$ petroleum). |

Coming here was really a matter of adding one more country to my collection. There isn't much to visit and what there is can be seen in one busy day.
A good place to start is charming Malbun village with its stone church high up in the mountain above Vaduz.
Triesenberg, halfway down the mountain from Malbun to Vaduz in the bottom of the valley.
Looking south from Triesenberg to Triesen and Balzers on the valley floor.
From his Castle overlooking Vaduz, Prince Hans-Adam II can see most if not all of the country he governs!
Below on the left, Vaduz's catholic church. On the right, the Balzers Castle a short ways up the Rhine towards Sargans in Switzerland where I took the night train to Luxembourg.

The lovely small village of Sargans is where I took the train for Luxembourg after visiting Liechtenstein. |
