Wie geht es Ihnen ?

Go on, babelfish it.

Its my second day in zurich and I am regretting not buying books I was interested in when I was in London. London is MY city for books. Its good that its only 50 quid and 90 minutes away, unlike Toronto which is a good eight hours in the air.

It takes me travelling to realise whether a country has made an impact on me. Uk and the midlands certainly has, and though it was not really according to plan, I think I did ok. Certainly I am now again floating around and unsure of what to do with myself, but lets hope the job gives me some concrete reason to settle properly here in Zurich.

Today I am hanging around Limmenplatz, the shopping district of Zurich (i think) and I intend to get totally lost on the public transport system, which of course is fantastic. Above ground, its trams ... kind of like Toronto's tram system, but smoother, quieter, cleaner, PUNCTUAL and very similar to singaporean buses internally. West Midlands Train Commission, eat your heart out.

Last few thoughts on the UK.... on the last day I was staying at IBIS Exel hotel, which is next to the london flood barrier and the exel marina. It felt vey much like home in Toronto. I had a view of the big monstrosity, the millennium dome, similar to the giant lollipop of TO.

But back to it, water does calm me, and if I ever get home to SG i think I am going to be a bit of a brat and head into watersports. G saw me off at the city airport and there is nothing like being sent off. It gives one a reason to go back.

Now, all I have to figure out tonight is where to go to party.
