The Geneva Report:Day 2

Today we spent the morning being regular fixer-uppers, tidying things up around the house and getting things ready for Hari Raya. Then we dashed off to town really quickly, before coming back home and then driving off again to go to France. Versoix is just a quick drive away from France, Valtoiry to be exact. Its a bit like driving to Miri from Belait. But closer. And more scenic. Hehe. On the way there, we passed by the CERN Labs (Doc Naughty, remember Angels and Demons? hehe), its really quite freaky thinking that you could be driving over nuclear labs, seeing as most of their labs are located underground. Weird! :s

Today I learnt that although I can more or less guess what things mean when I read them in French, when people speak to me I'm still bangang, like duh... Hohoho. Bet people in the shops think I'm really annoying. Haha. It's quite hard as well, I can't ask things like 'Do you have this in another colour?' or 'Does this come in a smaller size?'.. I'm just going to be an eksen and pretend I look like I know what I'm doing. haha. Also, lots of people here have really cute dogs! Mostly those cute tiny ones, like Shih-Tzus... Reminds me so much of Toulouse! If only he could have come with us...he'd really love it here. hehe.

Even the petrol stations here are nice


Weird and wonderful pumpkins in the supermarket
