This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

Scooter kidss

Lana with her new scooter (the last one got stolen last week), and Aryan with one of Lana's old ones.
After days of unpredictable wet weather, today looks pretty good with bright blue sky and moderate temperature. The kids pestered me to take them to the nearby kindergarten's playground. I was getting bored myself just sitting indoor at home, though i should have been working on my assignment. Oh well, laziness ... Rules. I'll see if I am in the mood in the evening. All that I can think about now is food. Two more days to go with fasting .... And to "raya".

How do you kill time on train

This is too long and i'm getting restless. Geneva, Aarau .. next Brugg, then Baden, jump on bus and next home. Those legs' owners seem to enjoy the ride. Clearly, they r heading to some fun night out. I just need a good shower and quite time at home. Get me there fast train.

Paris, its stressful with the Metro

Once it was fun to fight with the crowd, and checking out some hot chicks in the underground in London; and Paris wasnt so much different. Finding the ways through the colourful network of lines was fun. Getting on the wrong train and arriving at the wrong station wasnt a big deal. Backtrack and it would all be ok. All these were 15 years ago. It aint that fun no more.

Tour eiffel

I wonder when was the last time i was near the Eiffel Tower though I have been numerous times in Paris since 2006. Possibly in the same year after we moved to Switzerland. Having seen it a number of times, the first one being in the mid 90's, (student budget trip), there's nothing left thats special about it. Nevertheless i still enjoy lazying on the big park opposite it watching tourists getting into all sort of actions and poses trying to come up with the best pictures with the tower.

Basel airport

It's my last residential school, and this time in Brussels; flying from Basel. I was extremely surprise to see how nice the Swiss lounge is at the Basel airport. Simply stunning!
