Bye, Switzerland! I miss you already!


Day 1 on the airplane, @ Turkey airport: I spent the longest birthday I ever had on the airplane and transitting at Turkey airport. I miss Changi airport. I think the best thing they have there is Starbucks Coffee. It is yummy anywhere and everywhere.


Day 2 @ Neuchatel: Unpacked and made pretty Lynn's new room for the next 2 years. Her hostel is so cosy and her room is roomy! LOL. Mother was just the right person to be there to help her unpack. We took 2 hours to unpack all the luggages. Kudos to mommy!


Day 3 @ Neuchatel: We gotta know Neuchatel much better today. I am glad to know that my sister will be staying in this beautiful pretty and safe town for the next 2 years. The highlight of the day was when Lynn bought her new bicycle, at a God-blessed huge discount. LOL



Day 4 @ Zurich: This is the well-known blue angel @ Zurich's train station. Fat she is! Zurich's sucha modern city it wasnt really interesting for us. Everyday's (before 5pm) like Orchard road on Saturday.



Day 5 @ Lucerne: Usual touristy thing we did was to see the Lion Monument. This is one sad lion. We bought many swiss knives for friends and relatives and chocolates and sat by the lake for some..lake-breeze towards the end of the day.



Day 6 @ Bern & Mt Pilatus: Up at Mt Pilatus. I NEVER went near the edges. Freaky heights!



Day 7 @ Interlaken & Grinderwald: Grinderwald is a typical well preserved old swiss town. Love the peace and quiet there.



Day 8 @ Zermatt: Was raining the wholeeeee day and we could only walk around town. We experienced a blackout at the supermarket (hence, the picture above). The crowd cheered when power was restored, majiam soccer goal. ... LOL




Day 9 @ Zermatt: Suddenly saw snow on the mountain from my hotel room window. It was a lovely surprise. =)

Day 10 @ Montreux-Vevey/Chocolate Train: Ate too much chocolate at the chocolate factory now my face looks like a humcheepeng. ... We got on the train that brought us to a cheese factory, a castle and a chocolate factory. Yummy!


Our hostel @ Montreux-Vevey: A great view of Lake Geneva (opposite side of the lake/Geneva Airport).


Day 11 @ Neuchatel: We went back to join Lynn. Headed back to the same hostel and cafe & had more beer and coffee and games. 2nd last day in Switz.

Now it feels weird to be at home. Life is back to work and warmer weather and crowd and noise everywhere. I really miss Switzerland. I am glad my sister will be having a different lifestlye there. It is great to be living in that very developed country.

Gotta get over this jetlag and get back to work tmr. ROAR!!!
