I'm back!!
Bonjour!! I'm back from Switzerland! This was a fantastic trip!! Much better than the Hawai'i trip last dec..... haha~ I've so much to share... but not sure how where to stay... the place was gd, ppl were nice, hotels were fantastic.... gosh... it was almost heaven.... mayb juz a few glitches here and there.... Ok let's start with me taking Swiss International Airlines. The flight attendents were really courteous... and I juz love it when they speak english with a tinge of french...! Genève Aéroport wasn't a very big airport but gd enuff... the men at the customs were so gd looking!! haha~ plenty of eye candies the moment I touched down.. I guess that's wat we mean by a gd start! The moment I touched down, I gave a call to my aunt who was waiting eagerly for me in the hotel. Took a taxi to meet her.... CHF 30.10 for a 15mins (or lesser) drive... but it was a mercedes benz so worth it I guess.... Arrived at Hôtel Du Midi - 4 stars hotel...
Ain't the reception hall gorgeous?
After washing up, met my aunt's colleague and together, the 3 of us went shopping for swiss chocolates. Haha~ It was chocolate and men paradise.... Geneva's like singapore... a very clean city... the public toilets were juz incredibly clean! After staying in NYC for about half a yr, u will learn to appreciate cleanliness.... The tap water was refreshing and clear too. Even thought MANY ppl owned dogs, I never saw a single dog poo on the floors... This shows how civilized and hygenic the swiss ppl are... unlike in NYC... haha~ Anyway, met many of my aunt's colleagues, and they were so gd looking!! So smart looking in their business suits.. funny and witty.... I love the swiss men!! They appreciate wine, they're freaking handsome, and juz love listening to them speak in french!
To cut short, we went to other towns - via the railway trains: Zermatt (my favorite), Zürich and Berne. Wanted to go to Lausanne but we did not have enuff time so.... too bad... There's so much to talk about the trip, but I'm too lazy to type it all.... but the main pt was, it was excellent!! I hope to be able to go there again next yr.... hopefully with my frens this time. **DORA, save money!! Then we can go together!!!

Oops.. forgot to mention that I finally had the chance to try the cheese fondue! Ate it with white wine, the wine was really gd... swiss wine, but the cheese fondue was juz al'right... my aunt's colleague gave us a treat.. I like her alot.. she's so knowledgeable and funny... successful.. wish I can be like her in future... her benz was great too!! The best part is: she's gonna buy a hse in Zermatt soon, and she said if i wanna ski there in future, I can stay in her hse! haha~ free accomodation...
Argh~ how i wish i can study in Switzerland... met many ppl with amazing character over there... but in order to get into the university there, i have to master my french.. which is why I am intending of taking french lessons again next yr.. It's definitely the place i wanna work in hopefully in the near future...
Here are some pictures, will post more (with my face in them) soon.... BBQ will be starting soon.. Au revoir! **Don't we all juz love french?
