The First day, after somewhat a long flight, I landed in Zurich, (and it is 6 am!!!with no sleep for 12 hour), I am holding to my train schedule, never been really on a trip on my own. Half scared, take a train to Appenzell, but end up didn't stop at Appenzell, due to the fact that appenzell is a very little city. I'm afraid I'm gonna end up TI would be closed. So I choose to go up the Alp on the first day.... The train is very slow by the way... (only one way... what the hell). Then I get off the train... it is like the most remote town you ever imagine... very nice yellow flower across the field, Swiss cow you only think you saw in TV(and they have the real swiss ... read more

Yes, I've decided to start blogging. I am trying to explain myself 2 things: why didn't I do it before and why am I doing it now. I cant find the Answers. I have no idea. and I don't care (in a different life I would probably go mad over not knowing something but now _ I don't care...I think that its the fact that I don't trust my writing skills, never wanted to write / be a writer / publish my thoughts or ideas. Whenever I was reading other people's blogs or stories I found my self thinking: I wish I could do it, I wish I could write like them. and they are not famous writers. YET. they are normal people. O.k. not normal. they are people. and inspiration. I think that everything is ... read more

Greetings from Switzerland! We arrived here after an amazing train journey from Lake Como. There were huge, huge mountains (some snow capped) and beautiful clear green streams and lakes. It was really picturesque and really enjoyable. So, news since we last updated. After Cinque Terre we went to Milan for 2 nights. Mixed feelings about Milan. The shops of course were impressive and completely over the top (as expected). Unfortunately our budget didn't extend to the 20,000 euro roberto cavalli dress...... Did manage to find some shops that were reasonably priced and bought a few things (of course...). The Duomo was beautiful and the main city area was fairly nice. Nowhere near the beauty and atmosphere of Rome though. There were also some dodgy areas proabably best not mentioned here.... The highlight was definitely seeing the ... read more

ok um was geht es hier eigentlich überhaupt, wieso dieser blog und überhaupt wieso bin ich eigentlich nicht mehr da. also meine lieben freunde, mitstudenten einfach alle, es dreht sich bei mir alles um die liebe, nicht weiter schlimm denkt man sich dabei, ist aber nicht so, denn meine liebe ist gerade ein jahr verreisst. ja, so einen innerlichen wunsch von ihr, mittel und südamerika zu entdecken, für das hat sie sich ein jahr zeit genommen. und wie das so ist, man führt eine beziehung, der termin rückt näher.. man verdrängt fröhlich und plötzlich kommt der moment wo man morgens um 5 mit dem auto nach zürich flughafen fährt und einen menschen mit dem man alles teilt, sich für ein jahr verabschiedet. natürlich hatten wir daten vereinbart, dann und dann hab ich ferien, ich komme dich ... read more

Buy the ticket, take the ride Dr H.S. Thompson With ticket in hand, I suddenly see a paradox in Hunter's statement.. How much of the ride is what you make of it? How often is the ticket just the licence to get started? This time my "ride" is with the Eng. Geologists here at ETH, and it's going to last for (probably) the next 3 years. I have a seat (with a table), a card to get me cheap(ish) food at the cafeteria, and a guarantee of money that should cover everything else - I hope! I was kinda homesick last night, I lay awake till 4am listening to the midday Sunday show on RadioActive streaming over the internet... Good memories. It's the evening here now, and I haven't really left this couch all day. Getting ... read more
