Well, these past few weeks in Switzerland haven't been too adventurous anyways. I've been trying to buckle down on my thesis work since I'm working within a very limited time frame.
However, I have been using this time to try and experience the more "simple" joys of living abroad - actually pretty mundane things.
For instance, a few weeks ago I met up with the other girl from my program who stayed abroad (she's interning at the World Health Organization) and we decided to go the movies: a totally normal, boring thing to do. And yet, it was the best night I'd had in such a long time! I hadn't been to a movie theater for at least 6 months and it was worth splurging for the crazy Geneva price. We saw "Gatsby le Magnifique" and it was a perfect girls night out - complete with midnight Toblerone McFlurries at McDonald's.
Also, for the record, French translated movie titles are hilarious. "The Hangover 3" is called "Very Bad Trip 3" and "Despicable Me 2" is "Me, Ugly and Mean 2." Check out the pictures:
Aside from my movie trip, I've been hiking around the Alps, enjoying the nice weather and bonding with my host family. Last night at dinner, my host sister was whistling "Hakuna Matata" at dinner so I tried to sing along - unfortunately she only knew the French version and I only knew the English! All in all, Switzerland in summer has been lovely.
