Marco's Back In Switzerland

4/14/2005

Hey there my friends all around the world :-)

I stepped into another world last friday. Everything back here in Switzerland is so clean and organised, it's incredible... Some impressions:

- You don't have to wait hours or days until something (like work...) will be finished, everything is done at the appointed second. 5 pm means not 4.49 pm or 5.01 pm, no, not in switzerland, where 5pm is 5pm!

- Same for appointments with your friends. If you come here in a lazy argentinian mood, you will be astonished that they come to your invitation at the right time, not one or two hours later

- Busses and trains depart punctual too...

- ... which makes it hard for you to catch them

but there is definitely some spontaneity missing here!

But I found out that we can buy some nice chilean and argentine wine here too, they even have 'mate'! So I think i will be able to survive here!

So, the last few days i met some of my best friends and drank some beer, especially nice was the visit of the guy i travelled with in russia. That was the first time i drank vodka since i left russia...

Has it already become time to speak about memories and things like that? naaa... i don't feel like that. The first two days were really strange, but now i'm already a bit used to it.

I'm searching for a job now, today I already shot some photos for my application resumes. One of those pictures is attached, but don't be scared, it's really me!!

Ok, in october i will fly back to Argentina, but probably only for vacations, like two or three weeks. And after that.... nobody knows! but i have to go back to russia too, so, maybe i will drive another round?!?

See you soon!
