Swisstown

Just a quick message. Sorry it has been awhile but have been busy and have had little access to internet.

I was in Belfast, Northern Ireland visiting my friend Fionnuala. Ireland is really beautiful, though I didn't like Dublin so much, but I was only there for 3 hours so couldn't see much of it. The countryside was gorgeous and peaceful, after so much city life. Despite what Fionnuala says, Belfast is really nice too. Was weird going on a bus tour of the city and the guide was pointing out places that had been bombed, one hotel is actually in the guiness book of records for being the most bombed building at 45 times. The city feels realy safe now though and I had no problems, haha except Finny's brother hitting on me the first night at the pub.

Then I flew back to London on June th in the morning and met up with Martina and Sonya again and we wandered around the Camden Market. I only bought some sunglasses that can fit over my glasses that kind of look like Dana's bugeye sunglasses (sorry mom your glasses broke and didn't fit comfortably, but I will get you new ones).

I spent one night in Brussels on mz way to Switzerland. Again I wasn't there long enough to really get to know the place. I tried to find a store that sold Tin Tin books but I guess I was in the wrong part of town. I also didn't see any belgium waffles. I was really happy when people were speaking French and I could actually understand them. So there is nothing wrong with my french, it is just crazy quebecois talk funny :P

Now I am in Zurich with Sereina. I think Switzerland is my favourite stop so far. The landscape and the architecture is so beautiful. I'd really love to work or live here for a while. Sereina showed me Winterthur, Stein am Rhein and Shaffhausen yesterday. In Shaffhausen we watched the German vs Costa Rica game in a beer tent. Was a lot of fun but a lot of the Swiss were cheering for Costa Rica. Then last night we went to a Russian Disco. Wow, never heard so much Russian music before, but was so much fun. I really missed dancing (can't really dance in Bar 11). And Swiss boys are cute :)

Well I should go. We are heading downtown Zurich today. Sereina lives in a suburb which is surrounded with trees and plant life that it doesn't feel like we are actually in a city so will be neat to see the downtown.

bye for now.
