Samantha flies into Zurich, Switzerland, and discovers what's it's like to vacation in one of Europe's most expensive cities. With just over a million people in the Zurich area, a disproportionate number happen to be millionaires - which is likely how the area earned itself the nickname "Zu-reich" (meaning "too rich"). Samantha discovers that although the streets are not lined with gold, there's plenty of it underground in the vaults of international banks headquartered in Zurich. But for Samantha only one thing could be more valuable - chocolate! She takes us to a shop called Sprungli, often considered the finest maker of chocolates in the world, to find out the secret of why the Swiss are so crazy about this delicacy.
