liebe zusammen ja, heute ist ein sehr guter tag - mein smilen hat sich gerade nochmals um zwei zentimeter verbreitert...! langsam wirkt's verkrampfend... :-))) denn: seit heute morgen bin ich stolzer besitzer eines schweizer passes! - aber nein, nicht eines x-beliebigen, sondern meines lieben alten reisepasses, den ich schon zu vermissen began. ja, und das verrückte an der ganzen sache ist, dass auf der seite zwölf ein nigelnagelneues wunderschönes chinesisches visum für 30 tage klebt! wenn der pöstler eine frau gewesen wäre, hätte ich ihn geküsst... aber der, der heute da war, hätte das wohl missverstanden... ;-) und nein, noch nicht [View Full Entry]

Wednesday was our last day of anything productive as Thursday should consist only of a museum visit and a dinner with some of the UN delegates (despite publishing on Thursday, I’m writing this on Wednesday). While there are certainly some aspects of this chunk of life that I will miss - ie the lake, Old Town, knowing for certain that I’ll have people to eat with, and even the UN cafeteria! - I can honestly say that I feel as though I’ve done everything there is to do here and it is time to move on. Geneva has treated me really [View Full Entry]

Left Paris (and our wireless) yesterday. Before we left, Steph went to D'Orsey and Sherrie wandered around the park. The 6 hr train trip in first class was enjoyable. There are benefits to being old and needing to buy the 1st class ticket. Arrived in Interlaken at midnight to a very hot hostel room. The girls had not thought to open the windows! We fixed that. Today we wandered around Interlaken before getting groceries and heading to Gimmelwald. To get to Gimmelwald, we took a train, bus and then cable car. It was great. The views are spectacular. We will post [View Full Entry]

Zurich HB station was filled with gigantic life-size blowups of Switzerland’s soccer players. It reminded me of the fanfare at Indian cricket matches. Spanish girl decided to ride with us on the train to Fribourg, and get down at Berne. The train stopped at Berne, the capital of Switzerland and Spanish girl got out, while we gazed out into the city as the train scurried past. Berne was crammed onto a steep-sided peninsula in the crook of the River Aare. We saw cobbled lanes, lined with sandstone arcaded ancient buildings, modern shop signs and a few tiny cars and a tram [View Full Entry]

we finally made it to switz and stayed up for 30 hours straight with a little nap here and there on the plane. pj says its light out so we cant sleep and phillip(our host/friend) says its better to stay up and go to sleep on normal switz hours so we can get adjusted easier. i finally talked them into taking a nap after the 30 hour mark, so we slept for 3 hours finally. we arrived in switz about 8am and drove 1 hour out of zurich to phillips(aka swiss cheeses) house. switz is a very green mountainous country with [View Full Entry]

Rajesh woke me up at 7 am banging on my door and startling the other girls in my room, who asked me if he was my boyfriend. He was showered and ready and gave me a half hour to meet him for breakfast in the dining room. I was so hungry that I ate everything they had for breakfast and even drank 2 cappuccinos. Thank god it was free, else it would have been another rip-off! RV was picking us up in front of his office at Stockerstrasse at 10:00 am, so we took the tram #7 and decided to hit [View Full Entry]
