Hello, friends. Since Switzerland it has been increasingly difficult to find a decent internet cafe. Even the one I decided on today after seeing 5 or 6 doesn’t seem to want to let me upload pictures. Frustrating.

Geneva itself is the home of the UN, and a pleasant change from France in both weather and culture. It is cooler, and more international: asian restaurants abound, and there are a large variety of languages spoken. Once we got the hang of the bus/tram system it was also easy enough to get around.

Sadly, it was kind of a blur, as the only train that we could use the EuRail passes on left at 5:30 AM the next morning. So, I was only in Switzerland for something like 12 hours (though conscious for at least 8 of them). I’d like to spend more time there, especially in cities like Zurich and Interlocken, both of which I’ve heard a lot about.

The strangest part about travels into and out of the country is that despite not being a part of the EU, I never had my passport checked either arriving or departing. I’ll have very few stamps at the end of this trip.
