made a short journey to the german-swiss border at Konstanz today. The highlight of our trip was a €7.50 trip to Mainau Island, which is just off Konstanz. It’s a Blumeninsel! Full of pretty flowers! and a butterfly house and an orchid garden – usually i don’t see things like that but it was really [...]

I heard you JW. Made an appointment with G to cut my hair! The original timing planned was 4pm, but the weather was sooooo good today that we decided to go picnicking first. So G and her friend and I took a cruise to Wollishofen (furthest we could go in zone 10). The sky was [...]

We had our assessment centre for our Human Resource module today. We were supposed to conduct the centre rather than be part of it, and had to observe 4 candidates for a job profile based on the competencies which were required.
In the stress of the activity I forgot to take out my camera, so no [...]
Relaxing Day

Just the way a nice warm spring day should be. And spent with family, even better. Met with Uncle KH and family for Sprüngli cakes + breakfast, had a leisurely walk down to the Zurich Lake, a 2 hour cruise in wonderful sunshine and breeze, exploring Rapperswil together, gelato for teatime and asian cuisine for [...]

HH asked yesterday if I’d like to go over to her place as she was planning a dinner, and so there were 4 of us having a really creative candlelight dinner at the table in her apartment. Home-made Spaghetti Carbonara, Chawanmushi (courtesy of A) and a rather salty instant pumpkin soup. Together with Bossa Nova, [...]

This comes to you live from my dinner table, where I have just attempted my first rice since coming here. Previously it has all been pasta pizza sandwiches and soup, but no rice. How does it look? see for yourself!
Here are the results..
Rice: 5/10 Still crunchy, obviously didn’t take enough time [...]
Sechseläuten

The Zürich holiday that marks the end of the Winter. A Parade of the Guilds passes through most of the larger streets in Zürich, culminating in the burning of the effigy Böögg which symbolises winter. If it takes a long time, the winter is strong and the summer will be a bad one.
The weather was [...]
I Like Wien!

Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Strauss, Wagner, Schubert. Many composers lived at least part of their life in Austria. As a result there are many “Mozart lived here!” sort of attractions in Vienna. There’s free entry on Sunday! But after visiting 1 or 2 you realise that it’s just a house to show some of their personal [...]
