Hallo Hotel

I've just checked into the hotel that the firm had booked for me, and its lovely. Its right next to the quay, and I will probaly be looking into joining a boating club here because I miss revving up and makin some waves :)

New pics soon, I promise. Zurich is great and the people are nutters, of course in a good way. They smoke everywhere, to the extent where my clothes stink after a night out, which I had forgot about after I moved to Toronto. They even have assigned smoking cubicles in public restrooms. To be fair I prefer the smoking ban.

More bits and bobs, the city is beautiful on the lakefront, but London still wins for architecture. I have already been to the Schweizeriches Landesmuseum and the Johann Jacobs Museum/kaffe museum , but I miss the bustle and .....cosmopolitan grubbiness of ol london town. I've already settled down, and once the weather turns, I will be out on the water.

Primarily, now its finding a nice apartment and hunkering down to learn deutsche. For the last two days I have been talking to loads of people in the hostel where I stayed, and so far I've met americans from Arizona, a Chilean and a South African.

To use the Canadianism; its all good.
