11 days until start of internship, 5 days until Prague

gonna be interesting, all the stuff that's waiting for me (:

already have a wonderful flat there, in old town, close to the charles bridge and the old square. YES, there where ALL the tourists linger around and have noooo idea how to expess themselves in Czech, haha :D also STARBUCKS is close, woohoo, just 300m walking distance instead of 6oom like in Geneva, haha :D :D

I'm gonna share my flat with a Spanish girl, I hope she's nice and valiant, so she can finally teach me some decent Spanish (which is atm really BAD) XD

next week I'm gonna head there and try to organise myself (tube ticket, maybe bank account, next supermarket etc) and of course I'll enjoy the last days of "freedom", haha (:

and of COURSE I'm gonna go hunting for either an indoor climbing/horseback riding/gymnastics club, cos that was SERIOUSLY expensive in Geneva... 80€ for 4x 1h of training, so NOT!!
yep, a bit crazy there in switzerland, but I love it hot and steamy anyways, haha :D


wait for news next week from my flat with internet & a washing machine and FRIDGE (:


yep, that's the street of my flat (:

back at home. missing GVA.

to end the part of this blog about Geneva, I have to say it was love on first sight. And it's still developing into more. Never thought that would happen. But it has. And I'm happy about it :)

as I am back at home for nearly 2 weeks now, it still feels weird not to just walk down the flights of stairs (or taking the lift) to be in our common kitchen and chat up with everyone and catch the news. I'm missing this pretty bad! if you didn't get that on facebook/twitter/tumblr/dailybooth the last days... :/

but anyways, to conclude with Geneva (even though this cannot be concluded, but whatever ;D):
  • HEG Genève: NOT very well prepared for exchange students, you HAVE to speak French in order to get things done & their competence either is non-existent or in deep slumber... LOL
  • Foyer St. Justin: best thing to ever happen to me, met so many people that became friends. I adore them, miss them, cherish them and well, I'm annoyed by them sometimes too :D
  • ERASMUS: well, this old rumour about not having anything to do and only partying is simply NOT true anymore... I didn't go out that often, because it is expensive (switzerland, yay^^) and it was much more fun to be sitting on a bed and watching Top Gear & talk, or cooking together... than getting drunk and spend lots of money :) just sayin... hahaha :D
GENEVA, it was a pleasure and I would come back ASAP, but....

my internship in Prague is awaiting me as are some friends from last year that were ERASMUS-students at my university... so I guess, it will be fun :)
(but is it gonna top Geneva? - right now, I seriously doubt it!!!!!!)
