Hmm...I had to decide...between continuing on a mundane software job versus hitting the road again. Only if I had a convincing reason to...wait! "Higher" education! That's it!
September 1st 2008:
Landed in Geneva (exactly 2 months ago!) on a busy monday morning only that I had to get used to different busy standards across continents. I vividly remember approaching the geneva airport. It was so beautiful. Right above Lake Geneva with an aerial view of the city. Wished she were next to me!
After collecting my baggage at the airport, I was looking for a push carraige. Saw a line of carraiges locked to one another. Was seeing how I could unlock it. Moolah! 2 CHF. My friend and I went to the ticket counter to board the train to Lausanne. The guy at the ticket counter spoke zilch english. "I am so fucking screwed!", I thought.
After being swindled for the 2 CHF for carraiges(another side story), we got into the train. After a long journey and loading our baggages into an empty carraige, we were tired. The train cheered us up a little.
The beautiful landscapes of swiss country side was more than welcoming. With a D80 by my side, I went berserk!
Kao(My friend) was feeling left out. Lake by my right and pastures to my left. Wish I had two cameras.
After a totally enjoyable train ride (this was just a beginning!) we landed at the Lausanne railway station. Some enquiries and we set on foot to our guest house with push carts carrying luggage. Lausanne hosts the International Olympic Committee and yapped about it as we moved out.
Phew! Reaching the guest house was an arduous trek during the last stretch. I muttered a fuck and set off without stopping and stood still for 10 minutes afterward. "Lausanne Guest House baby!"
TBC...
