Swiss-Sightseeing
Since I had a little bit of holiday last week I really enjoyed this time. So I used this time to do a little bit of Swiss-Sightseeing:
Thursday: I went to Geneva. At the United Nations in New York they asked us if we had been once at the United Nations in Geneva.... and we had to say no we haven't been there yet. So it was time to change that. The palais in Geneva looks as old as the one in New York but I was surprised how many organisations have there headquarter in Geneva. So I learned that Geneva is after New York the biggest office of UN in the world.
But as I said I have done Swiss-Sightseeing and that means I have seen more than just Geneva in the last few days. On Sunday I was on the top of the Rigi. Maybe you know that's the montain between the Lake of Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee) and the Lake of Zug. It was beautiful there. Unfortunately a lot of tourist but I'm already used to that from Canada. The view from there to the lakes and the Mittelland was great. Afterwards we decided to walk from the top to Viznau (a village at the Lake of Lucerne). This walk wasn't really the best thing to do, the way was steep and it needed a lot of energy to walk down there. Now don't feel my legs anymore and I have a real muscel ache in my legs.

I think I should post something new on my blog otherwise I could get boring for you to follow my blog. Tomorrow it's already one week since I came back from North America but I don't feel like that because I had so many things do to I couldn't realy think about that.
The time in New York was just great. It wasn't really holidays it was more like an adventure trip. Every evening I was so tired because this city is so excting you need a lot of energy to visit it. There is a lot of traffic, people everywhere (I haven't seen such a crowded subway before). But it was great to see all these famous buldings and monuments. When you walk through New York sometimes you feel like in a movie because most of the streets in Manhattan you have seen a least once in a movie - it was just great, but I was also happy to come back to Switzerland. Here everything is a little bit smaller and not so loud.
Our flights were without any problems, what we didn't really expect after this horrible thing from Vancouver to New York.
After arriving back home I had first to visit all my family members and I tried to tell all my memory from Canada, which is impossible but I tried my best.
Now I'm already studying again because I have to study for an exam next week. It's not really funny to do that I would prefer to enjoy the beautiful days we have here but I have to pass this exam and there is no other way. But to study now is not really as hard as it is when you have to do it after 4 months of classes I had now many weeks which I enjoyed and I'm looking forward to the start of the semester in two weeks.
So I hope you enjoyed my bad English and you visit my blog again.
