New Aussie, Swiss Apple Store openings
The first new store is in Zurich, Switzerland. Reader Greg sent us a link to his Flickr gallery with plenty of documentation of the new Bahnhofstrasse store. Here's a pic of part of the huge crowd just before the opening:

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another Apple Store will be opening in a few short hours in Melbourne, Australia. The new Doncaster store appears to be a wide-body layout in a mall, and is the second Melbourne store. We're hoping to get pictures from our friends down under as soon as the opening occurs. Here's a photo taken on Friday (yesterday in Melbourne) of the store prior to the opening:

One question, though: Why is the Apple photo of the Zurich store photoshopped?

Look at the woman walking at the lower right of the picture. Most of her body has been blurred....
I'm a Swiss citizen so I think the Zurich one is pretty cool!
