Life in Geneva

posted June 25

Living in Switzerland at first was pretty hectic. The timezone difference from my friends, the absence of my friends, and the reliance of trains…everything kinda got to me.

I haven’t been blogging much because life here is pretty demanding. My uncle’s wife came up to my room while me and Lisa were relaxing and pretty much snapped at us telling us OH WHY DO YOU THINK WE BROUGHT YOU HERE, YOU GUYS ARE BEING LAZY YOU NEED TO HELP OUT, etc. etc. LOOOL @ the snappage right? I was like woahhh is this lady giving us attitude outta nowhere? I aint havin this. I’m a damn american gimmie a twix bar and lemme have a minute.
Our ‘vacation’ pretty much sucked the following days but it’s only been getting better recently. We had a better understanding with our uncle and his wife so now everything is cool. I mean the best part of this trip was finding the H&M downtown. Lisa and I spent a good portion of our day rejoicing at finding cute clothes for less than $500. Everything here is expensive as hell (and equally just as ugly..it’s like the more expensive, the more it looked like a christmas sweater) so it’s nice to see some brandnames I know that aren’t trying to get me to spend 100 dollars on a pair of plastic shoes.

I bought a pair of “Jeggings” (LOL yes they were called jeggings…jeans+leggings?) for $30 CFH….CHF something like that at this place called ‘Tally’. It’s not bad actually, prices are pretty good too. EVERYONE here wears skinny jeans and ballet flats. So I’m guessing this is the best place to buy them at ;)

The inside of the jeans was pretty hilarious to me.

Then I bought a cute belt for 7 F (the american dollar is worth a tiny bit more here but it’s kinda the same) and a shirt for 5! Wooo for soldes!! (sales)

Inside the countryside…

Lisa and I then went downtown and explored.

You know when she wasn’t throwing whole cookies to the birds at the station, we had fun. Oh yeah so normal people would give the birds crumbs seeing as they are SMALL birds and not humans at a baseball game. But no Lisa? She gave the damn animals the whole cookie and then like the idiots that they are the birds fought over it and one of the smallest birds somehow miraculously got a hold of the 10 pound cookie and flew away, before the cookie flew out of his mouth and landed on the train tracks.

Downtown is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and honestly if I could live here (with my friends and family) I would move in a heartbeat. Of course we would have to win the lottery of 50 million dollars to cover one week of living costs but hey IT IS WORTH IT! :)
