Geneva is welcoming me.

Monday, 9:20, the train is finally arriving at Geneva main station, Genève-Cornavin. I got out of the train, no "exit"-sign anywhere... yeah, I guess, the frechspeaking swiss people don't like them ;)

Then I just followed the "taxi"-signs and I did find one, cos I had decided very soon, that I probably wouldn't be able to go to the Students Home by myself, cos even the Taxi Driver had difficulties lifting the suitcase into the luggage space in his car :D

I got into the taxi, told the driver my adress... he was like: "Foyer St.Justin, what & where is that???" I explained once again, showed him my map & he was then like: "well, we'll try to find it..." what a confident man^^ No German, no English and of course no Italian... They are not even TRYING to adapt a small vocabulary of the other Swiss languages.... buuut I am proud of myself, I understood everything he told me and the price was okay - 15 SFR.

Then I got into the Students Home, to the reception and they recognized me at once... huh, maybe I do look like my pictures ;) Well, I live at the 6th floor, thank God we got a working elevator, otherwise I'd probably have died getting up there with my stuff ^^

My room ir REALLY small, but it is okay for 5 months, about 9m². For the whole floor there are 2 toilets & 2 showers... good I got plentyy disinfection spray with me.

The shared kitchen is really roomy and absolutely not gross, as you'd hear about other students accomodations.

All in all, it is very okay, I am close to the city centre, the Lac Léman is not far away and the tram station like 70m, and I got free WLAN, which is the most important thing :))) without limits, btw :D :D D:

I was 3 days at the Côte d’Azur with my sis & my bro and on Thursday I arrived back at Geneva.

The weekend I'll write about 2morrow, cos now I should go to bed to get ready for my classes 2morrow, Financial English & French for non-french speakers.

I am excited about it & a little afraid.
