"Carbon dioxide emission rights" for Christmas
Enid invited me for dinner, for Swedish dinner.
The Swedish interns are really cool, but somehow different. They all work at UN, they are really cool, funny girls... We were talking about Christmas, their costumes, food, university, life in Sweden, etc. It was hilarious!
We also talked about Xmas presents, and one of the girls said that they will get "Carbon dioxide emission rights" for Christmas from the office. (maybe)
Hmm...
I have already heard about this "cap & trade system", and all stuff like that, where companies have certain amount of quotas how much carbon dioxide they can use per a certain time period, and if they have spare quotas, they can trade with them, sell it to other companies.
This right is the same, but for individuals.
According to her, the state has got a report, or some kind of tracking system, where the rights can be registered, and if an individual buys a "Carbon dioxide emission right" than companies can have less quotas.
I was trying to joke with this.
Like: if I have the right than, I can fly more often... Nobody was laughing.
I can not imagine that people will buy "carbon dioxide emission rights..."
Probably if I were rich I would buy rights, and than start trading with companies >> sell the right for higher price... ;) And to ease my guiltiness, I would join to the company "Green Action Day" or "Environmental Day" or sth like these initiatives.
That's why there is a difference between an intern at a multinational company and an intern at UN.
Ok, why am I so ironic???
I think I am already brainwashed.
I would really like to believe that if I bought a small unit of this rights, and told 3 people to do the same, and they should also do so and so on..., than maybe a huge factory would have less rights to pollute, have less quotas, and I would like to believe that a factory - instead of paying the penalty - would seriously pollute less.

Escalade - National Fete of Geneva
I realized how less I wrote about the swiss people, the swiss culture, the swiss history, and things like that.
So, now here is the time to introduce you the
Escalade is the national fete of Geneva.
On the night of 11 December 1602 Charles-Emmanuel, Duke of Savoy, tried to storm the town. His "Escalade" was repulsed, (actually by a woman who poured hot soup on the enemy...) and thereafter this patriotic event is commemorated by the Genevese.
(For more info click here)
Actually they have 2 weekends.
The first one is just a race, ok not just, but it is mainly a marathon, where people dress up, and run through some villages.
This year thousands of people came and run!
My flatmate, Adam too!!! We are sooo proud of him!!! :)
The second weekend is always biggest, and actually a really unique weekend of Geneva.
This is so true, I mean, the Old Town is full of brigades on horseback in 17th century costumes, country markets, folk music, fife and drum parades and torchlight marches.
You can not imagine how big relief is it for us. (Ok, not for me anymore, but for the others living at RDL....)
That was one of the main reason why I moved out of RDL... the noise, the traffic, the construction...)
Now, it is over!!!! :)))
There was a huge celebration, cheerleaders and everything! :)
(And, later on, this new tram will go directly to my workplace, so it will take less time to travel always in the morning... ;)
During the weekend I slept also at RDL, (because it is great to be together, to wake up together and have breakfast together... :) but actually it was not that easy to sleep... I always heard all the traffics, the horns, people were shouting, screaming...
Saturday evening of course we went out.
First, as usual, the party starts at RDL, drinking, and now: with Chocolate fondue !!!
That was great! :)
I will bring home also something like that, don't worry!!! ;)
Than we went out to Shakers. It was actually a good party...
Than on Sunday, a few more trainees arrived.. unlucky them... because on Saturday - despite the weather forecast - it was sunny, but Sunday... rainy...
We wanted to go ice skating, instead in the rain we discovered a nice hot chocolate place and a great crépe -place! (salty pancakes.... nyamm...)
Than we saw the torchlight procession through the darkened streets in the Old Town, which led a bonfire. However, it was soooo coood, and we were tired, so we missed that one...
Anyways, to sum up, it was a great weekend! :)
Part of the "Grouppicturreeee!!!"

AND!
I have learnt that there is a secret mediave passage, this is opened for public only during the Escalade in the whole year, that is the Passage de Monetier. This takes visitors along the base of the old fortification walls under the Cathedral, offering a palpable look at Old Geneva. Those who brave the passage at night receive cups of hot wine to ward off the cold. Yes, and those who are there earlier... :S
Anyways, we ate soup!Soup de la mere Royaume!!!
This is the special soup, full of vegetables, they serve it in a special pot, on it it is written: Escalade 2007, and if you take it back you get back your 5 CHF, but of course everybody keeps it. :)
Me too, but than I gave it to Joyce, one of the Chineese girl, and forgot about it...
Anyways, hope she has got it... ;)
I forgot to mention that we organized this weekend for other aiesec interns.
Saturday an other historical event took place: The constructions in front of RDL officially ended, and they celebrated the new tram!!!!Anyways, we ate soup!Soup de la mere Royaume!!!

Life is short
Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.

Christmas
It is just 25 days more and Christmas time!!!! :))))
I didn't really feel it till today.
I went shopping and in the supermarket there were lots of Christmas stuff, and of course all the candles, the pine branches, the Santa Clauses, the Snowmen, mistletoes, everything was FAKE. With fake snow on the street and on some trees in front of a famous Hotel.
Disappointing.
But than... today... I saw a small small shop.... When I entered, it was warm inside, there were candles, and the smell was amazing.
I was listening some music coming form the shop, and everything, the branches, the Advent cornices were amazing, beautiful not too much things on them but also not even less. Just perfect.
If I had more arms, I would have taken one.
Next time.
So that's why I changed also my blog photo... :)
The Christmas countdown has started!!! :)
I am so excited and happy!!! :D

Finance or not finance that is the question
The show must go on.
My "little boss" is leaving The Company tomorrow. Yesterday we went out for a beer, and talked a lot about this 7 months, and of course about our future.
And also Mr. Voice would like to organize sth for him!
He will come from ZH just because of this! He is a really cool guy. Old, but still, cool! :)
Next week I will go out for a dinner/drinks/dances with Mr. Voice. ;)
I will miss my boss. He was great. It was strange, because he knew he is leaving, still he was always helpful - in his own way, but still.
And the coffee breaks, the cigarette breaks... :)
It was always fun.
Not to mention his knowledge.
I can not even imagine how we will survive... in the middle of the closing and just in the beginning of a new fiscal year. Cool.
Of course I can decide alone in many questions... I am an analyst or what. :)
Tomorrow will be interesting.
Anyways, so yesterday I talked to my "boss", exboss, future exboss, and he asked me whether finance is the right field for me or not.
Hmm...
Nice.
Actually, of course I am aware that my analytical skills could be much better, but the job what I am doing right now is very exciting and challenging.
I am coordinating the quota setting & deployment process centrally, and coordinate the tasks and acitivities of the countries in EMEA.
So, it is a cool job. If a country has got a problem, they are coming back to me, asking several questions, I have to investigate, where is the issue, where discrepancy is coming from, than has to communicate it to them.
So, at least it involves a lot of interactions with others, not just "playing with numbers".
And also, my operational task, the monthly accrual calculations and preparation for booking, so this task is now even better, since I got a counterpart for CEE & MEMA region. So I also have to communicate and coordinate our tasks.
So, now I am really happy with this.
I can imagine myself, working in this field.
Even if it is not only analysis.
Moreover, mainly because it is not only analysis.
But, we agreed to meet in 7 months again, and we will see how life is going on with each of us.
Who knows where I will end up.... :)
Maybe I should be more conscious about this, but I still feel I have time.
And who knows?
Maybe I try out myself in the banking sector???
:)
Watch out Zurich, I am coming! :)

TO DO List & Insurance
I have plenty of things on my TO DO List:
- Insurance (1)
- Escalade organization
- Translation for university - actually 2...
- French course
- Ski renting
- Xmas presents for my family (I have to ask some help from Budapest...)
- Credit card
- Pension
HP related:
- redeem my e-Award points
- do the TRAM
- Xmas party organization
- ask about the fondue
Ok, well, it is doable...
Just my insurance...
unbelievable.
The agent came to my house 3 weeks ago or even earlier, and said: Here is the contract, it is exactly the same what your friend signed, so you can sign it, and that's it.
Hohoho.. wait, wait... Can I hear more about the details?
So than we discussed that for me the best /which is equal to the cheapest, since I have my own very good and cheap hungarian insurance, just there is 1 small problem with it: it is not valid in CH.../ so for me is the best if the "frenchise" which means the self part this is the amount of which I have to pay always for any medical treatment, until I reach that amount.. so this in my case is 2500 CHF.
So than - this is the highest "franchise", I have to pay around 200 CHF per month.
(yes , for nothing...)
Anyways...this is the cheapest. So, I signed the contract and than after a while - 3-4 days - I got 2 letters from 2 different insurance company. None of them was my original company. And both the amount was around 340 CHF / month!!!
F. U. C. K.
And they want me to pay it in one amount till end of this year... so for 3 months aruond: 1500 CHF!!!
Of course, I have the money just for this!!!
F. U. C. K.
So, I called my agent, and he promised me to arrange everything, no worries...Hmm... I would like to see it.
And I already got a letter - a not very nice letter - from the office saying that I have to send them the copy of my insurance contract ASAP, otherwise bad things will happen... (I have to pay... and pay.. and pay...) before Christmas...
:S
So, tomorrow I have to talk to this office (in french) that I have insurance, I signed the contract, just everything is very slow here...)
It will be ok, if my French were great... or at least better than now.
Last week I wanted to reserve a table for 7 ppl.
I was not able to do this in french...
(ok, because it was not possible to do reservations, but anyways... )
Challenges... :)))
I love them! :D
I am so happy that tomorrow is Monday.

Perfect weekend ;)
It is amazing, how great weekend I had! :D
Ok, I was a bit disappointed that the Grenoble trip was canceled, I wanted to go to Grenoble, to see that city, and the office, and also visit Lyon again.
Anyways, next time! :)
So, Friday evening, after a long-long organization, we decided to have a drink at RDL, than go to a club.
So, we drunk at Ahmed's place..for some changes...than went to Ahmed friend's party.
He was first at Hotel Kempinsky,
Well....we had to dress up really. Really nice clothes, black&white style almost, not just simple party clothes.
This Hotel is like the Hilton, or sth like that. So fancy place.
Common...having a party in a Hotel???
No way.
So we decided to leave...and went to Java.
Nikolai was great, he can't stop shouting that I am not over 25...if u are not over 25, you can not enter... Thanks to my student ID...I don't think so that the security checked it that well... so theyl et me in too..
And otherwise I knew the "password"... We were with Ahmed's friend... :)
The party was ok, I mean i have been greater party, but it was fun.
Ok, don't count the fact that a whisky&coke is 26 CHF, or gin tonic same price... :)
Anyways, it was great. I had lot of fun with my party girls, Julia and Emilia... :)
I named Emilia as a party girl too... She deserves it. :)))
But that can stay a party secret. ;)
Than on Saturday I went SHOPPING!!!
I wanted to buy sth to my bathroom, to make it a bit nicer...not to look like as a first-use "toytoy toilette"...
Anyways, at the end I ended up buying everything but carpets, or things for the bathroom.
Than adhoc idea came, let's hang out with the RDL guys...so first we wanted to watch a movie...im a real real movie theater... :)But than we had to realize that in Geneva the movies are not with subtitles... :(
Almost all of the movies were in french... :(
So, we went to an Indian restaurant.
The service was creepy, but otherwise I liked the food... :)
I ate sth chicken, the food was spicy but otherwise great!!!
Saturday evening: HEI party: the party is close to my place, like 3 minutes or so, so we went home, start drinking there, than went to the negihbourhood...
Ahh..the music was shitty...seriously some brazilien music.
When they finsihed, we wanted to change for a DJ...but the stupid crowed didn't want to. :S
Anyways, I had fun with my flatmates, and RDL guys.
Than Sunday - the best part! :)
We went to a place called CALM...it is a nice restaurant - café, for eating BRUNCH.
You know the whole idea of Sunday brunch...
You wake up late, go out to a nice restaurant eat a lot, really a lot, and while you are eating, you are chatting, sitting in a nice room, listening to music, perfect... :)
Except that we (ok, I) couldn't make the reservation, and we were 7...we had to wait almost 40 minutes to get in the place, and than they forget some of our orders... it was fantastic.
The restaurant is really nice, it really has the atmosphere for having a perfect brunch.
We ate quiesch...it is something like a bread, or rather pizza...with vegetables and cheese on it.
Great! :)
With omlett, chicken salat, pancakes, orange juice, hot choclate,....
oohh...nyammm... :)))
We ate sooo mucchh.... :)))
Yes, because we have this thing, to share the food.
So than we can eat more, we pay less, and still we can taste more thing, and it is specially good if you don't know what you want to order. Or when you can't decide.
Than we went playing bowling.
And 'csocsó' . :)
Than in the evening we cooked together... :)))
Ok, I brought the chicken, and went for bread and cheese.
(and did the dishes...a little bit)
The rest was Ikran and Leonard. :)
Leonard cooked onion soup!!!
Ohh...amazing!!!
When u are ready with the soup, you pour it into small plates, than put bread in it, and pour a lot lot of cheese.
Than put this whole thing to the owen for a while.
Oh... :DDD
Ikran made sth very spicy with all the vegetables, the chicken, and the "Ikran rice".
:)))
Photos later on... :D
Oh, I love eating.
And I ate so much.
And the best was that we were together, had fun, talked a lot and laughed a lot.
:)
Thank you guys for this weekend! :)
Hope yours was also as good as mine... :D
How was the party in Budapest?
Did you celebrate all the namedays, and everything? :)
The carpet is fine... ? :D

Than adhoc idea came, let's hang out with the RDL guys...so first we wanted to watch a movie...im a real real movie theater... :)But than we had to realize that in Geneva the movies are not with subtitles... :(
Almost all of the movies were in french... :(
So, we went to an Indian restaurant.
The service was creepy, but otherwise I liked the food... :)
I ate sth chicken, the food was spicy but otherwise great!!!
Saturday evening: HEI party: the party is close to my place, like 3 minutes or so, so we went home, start drinking there, than went to the negihbourhood...
Ahh..the music was shitty...seriously some brazilien music.
When they finsihed, we wanted to change for a DJ...but the stupid crowed didn't want to. :S
Anyways, I had fun with my flatmates, and RDL guys.
Than Sunday - the best part! :)
We went to a place called CALM...it is a nice restaurant - café, for eating BRUNCH.
You know the whole idea of Sunday brunch...
You wake up late, go out to a nice restaurant eat a lot, really a lot, and while you are eating, you are chatting, sitting in a nice room, listening to music, perfect... :)
Except that we (ok, I) couldn't make the reservation, and we were 7...we had to wait almost 40 minutes to get in the place, and than they forget some of our orders... it was fantastic.
The restaurant is really nice, it really has the atmosphere for having a perfect brunch.
We ate quiesch...it is something like a bread, or rather pizza...with vegetables and cheese on it.
Great! :)
With omlett, chicken salat, pancakes, orange juice, hot choclate,....
oohh...nyammm... :)))
We ate sooo mucchh.... :)))
Yes, because we have this thing, to share the food.
So than we can eat more, we pay less, and still we can taste more thing, and it is specially good if you don't know what you want to order. Or when you can't decide.
Than we went playing bowling.
And 'csocsó' . :)
Than in the evening we cooked together... :)))
Ok, I brought the chicken, and went for bread and cheese.
(and did the dishes...a little bit)
The rest was Ikran and Leonard. :)
Leonard cooked onion soup!!!
Ohh...amazing!!!
When u are ready with the soup, you pour it into small plates, than put bread in it, and pour a lot lot of cheese.
Than put this whole thing to the owen for a while.
Oh... :DDD
Ikran made sth very spicy with all the vegetables, the chicken, and the "Ikran rice".
:)))
Photos later on... :D
Oh, I love eating.
And I ate so much.
And the best was that we were together, had fun, talked a lot and laughed a lot.
:)
Thank you guys for this weekend! :)
Hope yours was also as good as mine... :D
How was the party in Budapest?
Did you celebrate all the namedays, and everything? :)
The carpet is fine... ? :D

Wednesday - Movie night
I am happy that our intern committee is getting more and more active.
We have a new tradition instead of the Poker night. Wednesday is a Movie night.
We already did it twice, and already discussed the 3rd week. So... it is definitely a tradition
We meet 20:30 at Rue De Lyon, so we can start the movie "sharp" at 21:00. :)
We occupied Nicolai's room, his room is the best...perfect for movies...
Seriously, he has got a bed like "baldachin", it is really nice, romantic... There is a fireplace in the room... ok, it is not working, but within the fireplace there are candles....and his screen saver is "fire"... so we may have the impression for a romantic fireplace.
Today we watched A mighty heart
Have you seen that? It is based on a true story, a U.S journalist was kidnapped in Pakistan, and her wife wants to rescue him.
It is after 9/11, with all the terrorist activities and things like that. India is involved, Pakistan, etc.
It is a bit heavy but good movie...

Work, work, work
Life is nice, life is fantastic:
- Well done.
- Good job.
- Your commitment and dedication is visible.
- I like the way you work.
- Don't worry, even me, I do make mistakes...
- Don't worry, nobody will blame you...you are just an intern
Ok, ok, of course I know, I know that I am just an intern, so I do not have that much responsibility...
But still, it is me...
I am like this... if I do something I want to do it perfectly.
I can not accept mistakes.
And even if I know that is not my fault, that there is sth I can not change, because the guy who worked before me, he did it...still... it is our team's fault, so it is my fault...
And I am worried...and stressed...
Anyways, it is just me.
This period will be over soon, than I can take it a bit easier...
(Heeey....it was me who asked more tasks from the boss...so stop complaining...)
But, Murphy's Law:
- I am not going to Grenoble, to my romantic chataue...
There is a French strike now going on...so no train is available...or at least not for business trip...
Anyways, next time! :D

Do-It photos
Here are some of the photos from the conference: Do-It
LC Geneva
Can you believe we were around 50 people?
Big LC...cool people... :)
Official Dinner on Saturday with the Geneva -interns
Anthony (Ireland), Emilia (Spain), Me (Hungary) ;), Ikran (Sweden), Zuzana (Czechia) & Ahmed (Egypt)
With Emilia posing for Anthony... ;)
With our well prepared masks...Emilia, Ikran, Zuzana & me
No, seriously, we spent like 2 days to make our masks... :)
Mine is pretty simple...and maybe masculine a little bit...
The whole weekend... it was snowing!!! :)))
So, we played snowfighting:
Me, the poor, naive girl went to help my friend...
And my "friend" was tricky a little bit:
But seriously, the snow was great:
Good night, swiss dreams... ;)

Romantic chateau in France
I am going to a business trip with Peter to France.
We got a new boss and he is based in Grenoble.
It is amazing, how everything is well-organized.
We had to register to an intern site, where they asked our preferences.
What kind of room do you want to stay: King :), Double, Twin or Don't Care, Smoking, non-smoking, etc.
What kind of car do we want:
as default it was set up: automatic gears... :)
For flying: what kind of food do we like: There were like 15 different opportunity: low-calorie, low-fat, vegetarian, (all kind of vegetarian), Chinese, Mediterranean, or Regular... :D
And the hotel, where we reserved our places is surrounded in the mountains, it is a castle, very romantic. :)
Or at least, that's what I can see from the photos... :)))
And if we are already in France, we will look around in Grenoble and also in Lyon... :)
If Orsi will have time/space for us... :D
So it means that I won't be here on Friday... oohhh... :S
now I can go and talk to my "almost-never-seen" flat mates.
I am looking forward to the Chateau trip. :)

DO-IT, 2007. 11. 7-9.
Aiesec Switzerland had its 2nd national/international conference this year. Do-It is basically for everybody!!!
For aiesecers in Hungary: One of the best place to go to an international conference is to go to a swiss one. It is very very international, professional, well- organized...
Just to see: In LC Geneva only 5 people out of 63 are "only Swiss". Only means 100% swiss. Everybody else is half of something, or mixture... Great to feel/see that.
But we had a kind of interesting conversation...you have to be very careful with the diversity...
For example if a black guy says after the question: Where are you from? that he is from CH, you never never ask: Ok, ok, but where are you seriously form??? Just because he is black...
About the aiesec content:
They had several agenda for several group of people: newie, leaders, TTT, goldie, returnee, intern...
And Dey was there...He was the chair.
Once he was also a chair at a Hungarian conference, Spring Planning, or something...
You know, the guy from NZ MCP, than Africa GN coordinator, and also PAI... So...great, great guy...
Well..actually he was a little bit disappointing...
Somehow he was not that motivating...at least for me... and also for the last morning plenary he couldn't wake up...
COMMEON!! Former PAI!!!
Ok, it happens, great party...but not to the CHAIR...who was a former PAI!!!
Idiot!!!
For interns, the track was not that well organized...I mean I got the point that we are adults, we are coming there for partying, but not just for that.
We want to get to know our LC, and also sth about Switzerland, funny habits to prove that the swiss people are not that boring... :), other interns, stories about work, hints & tips for the newcomer interns, etc.
Ok, we were not bored, because:
IT WAS SNOWING!!!!
The mountains, the trees, the small streets... it was amazing... :)))
Beautiful!!! :)
As I don't have any camera, I have to wait till the others put their photos on Facebook... :)
With Ikran and Emilia we went crazy... :)
It is PICTURETIME!!! :)))
"Follow the river, river, river...
TO GENEVAAA..."
(because basically the river in Fiesch will become once the Lake Geneva...)
So we were all the time singing this 2 lines... :D
And of course we were playing snowfighting... :)
We also had Masked ball party on Saturday after Official Dinner. :)
Everybody in nice clothes... :)))
It was great!!!
Photos later... :)))
So, it was good.
I am again very sorry for missing the Global Village...Maybe next time I will go earlier to the conference...just to represent/present Hungary. :)
On Sunday we played with the other interns some drinking games...without alcohol, but still... :)
For example "Bumm"... but instead of "Bumm", everybody had to say any word which comes to his/her mind...It is a cool game, you can get to know what the others are thinking about...or maybe not, as on Sunday everybody is very tired. :)
And...we also played the "Alphabet" ... it is like counting, but with words...
So, I try to explain. The first person has to say a word starting with A, the next one with B, etc till Z, than starts again... and if somebody says an animal, the order changed..the circle goes to other way around...
It sounds easy...but commeonn!!! :)))
And, the funniest was, we had a native english speaker from the US.... she always said a word that nobody understood!!! :DDDD
Anyways, crazy people!!! :)
And also some very very interesting conversation about cultural differences, love, men-women relationships... seriously, challenging my worldview! :)
And also there was a session about the internships, what is the value added in an aiesec internship... :)
So, it was a wonderful weekend!!!
Not just because the "cute indians" had a bottle of JAGER!!!
:))))
Now I go and chase some photos... ;)

Just in a rush...
Tomorrow after work I am leaving to a conference...to an aiesec conference, to DO-IT.
(FYI: This post contains strange abbreviations for those who are not familiar with AIESEC...)
Strange feeling.
I don't know why I am fighting against @ all the time. Aiesec had/has an important role in my life.
And still...inside me..it is a fight...
I know that it is a huge motivation, and everybody is going there to really feel, Yes, this is why I am working like hell every day...this is why I sacrificed sth...
(ok, can you see....maybe my point of view is wrong...completely... it is not about sacrifice sth... It's up to you!
And this motivation part should be shown to the newies...
BUT.... It 's me... who is always making things more and more complicated...
Anyways, now I don't want to go in deeper...maybe it is better if I don't think...just let it go...and we will see....
I have a mask for the party...But I so miss you, Sütty and your creativity.... :DDD
Seriously!!! :)
so, see you guys on monday... or sunday evening..hiopefully full of energy and hopes and plans and motivation... that is usually what the conferences used to give me... and of course i meet always cool people!!!

HP Product Day
On Monday we had the PSG and IPG Product Day in the office...
Seriously...it was amazing!!!
This event was about our products, it was an exhibition, we got the chance to see almost all our new products, lap tops, printers, touch sensitive screens, new photo printers, huge lap tops, or small ones, the ones those screen can be moved, revolvable screens.. or whatever it is called... :)
There was a quiz as well... I knew all the answers... ;) NOT...but hope i will win sth...don't need to be big one, a camera would be enough... :D
And also I managaed to see our new table.
It is really a table, designed for living room... but the top of the table is basically a huge touch sensitive screen....so the whole table itself is 1 giant computer...the legs of the table consist of 6 computer... :)
Anyways, the screen is awsome!!!
It is not that perfect and welldesgined...yet...you can choose a photo, frame it, drag the size, choose music...
Ok, it is true that Microsoft has already developed that kind of table 1 year ago or so... :)
They use it New Yor or Las Vegas or somewhere in the US in bars...
You can order from the table, pick up your drink form the menu simply just touching the table... cool... :)
21th century! :)
Amazing!
On the other side it was great to see what are exactly our products that I should analyze... Shame on me..and not just me...but we discussed it with my colleagues too that we do not really know about our products...just that it is which PL, which lib item goes to which metric description, etc.
But here is the real business thing.. :)
Later on, in December there will be an HP Employee Xmas shopping day too... so, just let me know about your wishes.. :)
Hope the wheel of luck will help me to win sth there too... ;)
Please let me share with you one of our huge marketing campaign running now...

I can not believe I missed the friday party...

anyways, probably he was right...i needed to relax...relax a lot...basically today i couldn't get out of my bed...serioulsy... i ate only tonight...at 22...before i couldn't handle anything...

The only thing I regret...is the friday night.. i was so looking forward to meet the crazy dancing girls...
:(((
Anyways, i will check the photos...
:(
and next week we have do-it...the conference... :)

Crisis over
Unbelivable! :)
I had a training today. It was me (!) who trained the country representatives... because i am the one in the central... funny..some of them has got much much more knowledge than me...
And the same old story: central approach or local view...always different :)))
The problem is that now I am in the central and not in local level... :P
You never know... :)))
Anyways, so just wanted to tell you: the training started at 2:00...
I had a last meeting with one of best colleague from Italy... she really helps me a lot... so:
1:45: let's go through on your slides
1:51: ok, so change this, this, this
1:54: let me check sth...
1:57: change this
1:59: change this!!!
áááááááááááááááááááá
and at 2:00 i opened the call... :DDDDD
It was so great!!! :)))
Of course it was totally different like a normal presentation... everything depends on your voice! :)
Anyways, I don't really think that it was that bad... ;)
Good learning points in these days... seriously! :)
Basically that's why I am here... to learn, to experience more, to challenge myself in different situations, specially in those areas where I am aware of my weakness... :)
That's why it is soo challenging!!! :)
I love taking presentations...
But on phone???
Funny...
Anyways, today is over, just the Friday one is missing... :)
I will go soon and pick up Kleshi from the airport!!!! :)))
I should really update my profile in LinkedIn... so, find me there too!!! :)
By the way...today it was the last year of FY07!!! :)))
Tomorrow NEW YEAR'S EVE!!! :)))
And Friday we will have a small drinking within IPG to celebrate the Q4 closing...
And on Monday the other businesses will organize "Open Doors" for everybody, so basically we can see our products, our new marketing strategy, campaigns.
Interesting :)
Trick or treat?
Happy Halloween! :)

I will survive
I will survive this week.
Today I already had 1 presentation. It was not that bad...
I have good presentation skills.
Yes, but only if I can emphasize what I am saying with my gestures, my hand, etc.
While I am using netmeeting... people can not see me, just my desktop...so they can not see it how confident I am what I am saying...because of my hands...
So they just hear my voice...whixh is not that confident... :S
Anyways, today I survived 1 presentation... it was not that bad...i survived the Q&A session too...the whole thing was less than 20 minutes... :))
I don't like this modern world... I prefer to see my audience...check whether they are listening to me, using the eye contact, gesticulating, etc. Now I have my voice..that's the only tool I can use to make the presentation more interesting...
And as you can mute your line, you do not really have to take care what the other one is telling you...
It would be interesting to check how many managers, or even how many ppl are listening carefully during netmeetings...
Modern world it is...
Tomorrow I will have an other presentation... it will be bigger and more important than the today one...
ááááááááááááááá
I am scared... so please cross your fingers for me... hope...I will survive...
And tomorrow a friend of mine will visit me... :)))
Ok, it will be just a short visit, as he is traveling forward to his girlfriend to Lyon...but still... :) At least now I can hear some gossips!!! :)))
Kleshi, I really need some gossips from home, so prepare!!! :)))
Nowadays, I am always reading Kipling - If.
I really like that poem.
" If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"
"And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!""
Today I already had 1 presentation. It was not that bad...
I have good presentation skills.

Change
Change is good.
Change is necessary.
Change helps to improve, to develop.
But if everything changes in every second????
How can you work like that???
I am getting more and more angrier when I finish my work...than i have to start from scratch again, because everything has CHANGED!!!!
ááááááááááááááá
So, I was so fed up and pissed off, and anyways, why should everything always change???
So, I bought some chocholate...
Some...ooo...some nutella, and 3 kinder eggs...because now you can win Shrek figures... i.e a CAT. :)))
On my way to go home... i was guessing which eggs could have the Cat.... :)
Than I met my flatmate, and gave him one...with 1 condition, if he has got the cat...it should be mine..
Yeah I know it is not that nice, give sth as a present than ask it back... :)
Anyways...so you are not gonna believe this!!! He HAD THE CAT!!!!
ááááááááááááá
I can not be that unlucky...
But he gave it to me... :))))
back... :)))

And they serve French/swiss food too... We ate fondue, and pizzas... :)
This restaurant will be a definitly must go, when my friends are coming and visiting me... :)))
And, moreover, yesterday it was fullmoon... so beautiful... :)))

HP
These 3-4 weeks...terrible... working-working-working....after 2 weeks, coming home every night after 22, i am not able to do anything, just jump into my bed....maybe watch some tv series... maybe not just sleeping, and than at 7 everything starts again...and i was soo fed up with that, fed up that can not finish my work on time, always extra work, but because of the never-ending changes, i am always working on the same thing... :)
so, and i was fed up because couldn't meet my friends, couldn't do the laundry, couldn't go shopping (the shops close at 7...)
So, Saturday I slept a huge...i slept all day, and stayed the whole day in my bed...eating in my bed(!), watching 24 and Grey's Anatomy, and House again - because i am addicted...
Than of course on Sunday I felt guilty that I didn't do anything, so I went for a huge walk with a friend of mine, than did the laundry (3 times...:)), then went to the gym, and planed my week, so now i can finish late, but after work, i am still going out...
Tuesday: Sara's birthday :)
Wednesday: German - Hungaraian - Canadian Kebab & Winetasting - that cellar was something extra nice :)
The athmosphere in that cellar was very nice, though the prices were nice too... ;)
Tonight I am leaving, hope to meet Sarah - who has just arrived from Spain for a short visit... :)
(of course till now i was working... but who cares? :)
Next week just 3 presentations are waiting...
Till yesterday just 1...but today i organized 2 more... :)workholic!! :)
and i have an insurance as well...
And i got a glass from Pickwick ;)
So, life is beautiful...
At HP... things are cool...now i know what i do, why i am doing and how should i do that... :)
There is a woman from Italy, she is sooo helpful...really...and...I don't know how, but she knows me already so well... :)
Always the right sentences in the right moments!!! Unbelivable!!!
AND!!!!
MR. VOICE came back!!!
Haven't heard from him in a while...and on Monday... he just called me... :DDD
And there is an other colleague of mine... i am still thinking of his nickname... Krishi any idea more than welcomed! :)
Oh, and by the way: It is snowing in Croatia!!!
No, no, it is nothing to do with any "spy sentence" or something like that...
:DDDD
In Baska.
How was it guys in Croatia? Tell me, tell me... :))))
All the public details...and non-public too... ;)
Khm...well..
ok, not that one :)
I am starting to be too random, should finish now...
Strange, my intention was to write about something...that i feel somehow now that I am far far from Hungary...i feel more the importance of Oct 23 or all other stuff like that... strange...
ok, it is a serious topic, next time, when i am not that "havas-like"
Be back soon,
Hugz

I am still alive...
Yes, I know.. it is always like that... during the weekdays.. I do not have time, cause I am working... but what if I am working during the weekends too???
pathetic, I know... workholic..that's who I am...
Actually, I love challenges, and I love the changes...but this is unbelivable...that 3 minutes before the deadline..I have to change the whole project... aaaaaa
And my boss is asking: Are u stressed now?
Than laughing, because i twas ME who asked more tasks....
How stupid I am????
Why is that that for me nothing is enough???
I always want more, better???
I should learn...good is enough...
On Thursday, Enid and me cooked for our bosses....
Peter organized the whole Hungarian dinner.
Hmm...
I think, everybody enjoyed it.
My bigboss is now on diet... that's why we cooked Gulash and pancakes....good for his diet... :)))(I left the office earlier....around 2-3, we had to take back some meat, because uit was brown!!!
Unbelievable!
In switzerland...ok, the meat was from Migros, but still...
I was very stressed that we will not be ready on time...
But we managed to do it...!!! :)
Than, when my bosses arrived, one of them said to me:
Oh, how interesting it is, seeing you in the kitchen... :DDDD
Welll...maybe they know me... :D
Last weekend I was at home...again... :)
My grandfather turned 85!!!
So I had to be there!!!
It was great family lunch... I ate sooo much.... but really, so much... :)

Things that I like now
- An email from an old-old friend, I haven't seen him for a while; saying that he is organizing our 1st high-school class reunion (after 5 years)
- My identity test - it is pretty cool actually, i did it yesterday evening (5 factor model of identity) it says very true things about me...strange...
check it out here
- Every first Sunday of the months - the museums and exhibitions are free...- so i will go and check one... (i really miss some culture in my life... theater, musical, poems, or museums...so now i will go to feed my art-hunger... :) and have to find a great theater soon
- New flatmates - Heba, the egyptian flatmate of mine id not coming back...strange.. I totally understand Vesna, who really misses her...of course, they have lived together for 2 years...so, instead of her, yesterday a guy from U.S moved in...he seems to be o.k, and cool... and he pronounce my name the same way as Mr. Voice... ;)
- House M.D Season 4
- Grey's Anatomy Season 4
- I am going home at the weekend :) For my grandfather's 85th birthday!!! :)
- my membership at the gym (seriously, I had CAF on Tuesday...i can not even sit down normally...i really should do more sport...and go to the sauna...)
Things that I have to arrange during this week: (a.k.a. things that bother me)
- insurance (well...i really have to check this out...penalty of more hundred CHF...wouldn't be that good for my financial plans...
- Mdme Girardi and her flat ... i will need my negotiation skills for that
- have to write to my professors... i don't know how long i am continuously postponing these things... what i am afraid of??? about my english -hungarian program, about my thesis(es)... nooo :S Ok,maybe I am afraid, or rather worried about the answer: NO.
She could do that. Just simply says no to all my plans, my dreams, my well-constructed speech (well, email at least). She could freak out, that i didn't tell her earlier, that I am leaving the program, in the middle of the semester... i haven't even paid the fee yet... oh, i am BAD. Very bad...
- maybe (MAYBE) I can not attend our class reunion...ááááááááááááá, have to calculate, and check the flights, buses, hitchhiking opportunities...

Too early???
I keep saying to myself, to my friends and to my colleagues, that it is too early...
To early to decide, to take actions, to plan..
But...I have to realize that it is not that early. Actually, it is the right time!
Now I am still in the office... yes, fix working hours...and also flexible...Fix from 9-18, but it is flexible when do you want to work more...at the weekends, or at night...
Ok, now i am not workling, tp stop complaining...but we have to deliver the results on Monday...and this f*** system is **** **** slow!!! So the upload is not going, so i have to wait here, and see when it will finish... :)
Anyways...

Spontaneus trip to Neuchatel :)
Yesterday I was in the down town, organizing my life...paying the rent, informing about the French courses.
It is very interesting, btw, that I tell them, ok, I don't speak French, I studied in the book A1, we finished at the lesson 5.
Than the guy suggested me a course...starting from the lesson 7.
Yes, it should be good for you.
Hmm...yes, it should be good, I will catch up with the others.
Nothing is easy in this life. :)
Anyways, so I was just wondering, what should I do in the rest of this wonderful Saturday, when Shirly called me.
Anthony and herself are going to Neuchatel. There is a Festival, 330 different musical band. If I want to join...
No question, I have to go there.
After this conversation, I realized, that I left at home all my "flat shoes..."...so, I bought one.
(Yes, that's why I like it, I can save money on rent, then able to buy shoes... :)))
Neuchatel is 1h15 far from Geneva, with a nice lake, surrounded with mountains...so, basically a typical swiss city. :) It turned out, that the festival is actually Fete d'enfants...so for the kids... :))) Anthony, Anthony....you wanted this...noe I understand why. :) Your other side.. ;)
Everybody wore some dresses-...flowers, bees, trees, etc. It was very cool.
And all the kids had this small paper stuff...confetti...and they throw it to everybody.
We got a lot too. :)
Of course we visited a church, and an old tower too.
What do you think, if in front of a church there is a red carpet, and than in the 2 sides of the entrance door there are 2 huge flowers, with white ribbon around...?
Looks like a weeding?
Yes, you are right.
For us, it didn't mean anything.
:)
We just entered the church...
Shame on us.
There was a wedding inside.
So we left the church immediately. Without seeing the organ.
Then visited the old tower. Just try to picture this:
An old tower, at the beginning of Autumn, the trees are in different colors, all type of red, yellow, brown, green, small path leading from the tower to a garden, beautiful view to the mountains...
Got it?
Isn't it amazing?
Well, yes, but in reality...graffiti on the walls, not that nice, well-treated garden, and the view was more of a communist-like panel houses...
So, we went back to the Festival, people were not really dancing, but we didn't care. :)
We enjoyed it.
Seriously, all different types of music, latin, brazil, hip-hop, austrian classic (jodlee-ing...), balloons.
It was a nice day trip.
At the end, we arrived to Lausanne around 0:20, the train to Geneva leaves at 0:48.
Ok, so, let's go to the platform, and sit inside this waiting box, or whatever it called.
Anthony: Once I slept in a box like this.
Me: Really? cool.
Shirly: Oh, the train on the other platform says: Geneva.
Me: Yes, you are right.
Anthony: Oh, yes.
1 minute silence.
Shirly suddenly jump up: THE train says: Geneva!!!
and run out of the box.
Hmm....
Oh, yes...so it GOES to Geneva...
and than we started to run as well..
(Anyways, it was so funny it that moment. :)
That was my Saturday trip.

It was a nice day trip.
At the end, we arrived to Lausanne around 0:20, the train to Geneva leaves at 0:48.
Ok, so, let's go to the platform, and sit inside this waiting box, or whatever it called.
Anthony: Once I slept in a box like this.
Me: Really? cool.
Shirly: Oh, the train on the other platform says: Geneva.
Me: Yes, you are right.
Anthony: Oh, yes.
1 minute silence.
Shirly suddenly jump up: THE train says: Geneva!!!
and run out of the box.
Hmm....
Oh, yes...so it GOES to Geneva...
and than we started to run as well..
(Anyways, it was so funny it that moment. :)
That was my Saturday trip.

Home, sweet home
hihihi...what a nice title....it also applies to my sweet HOME, HUNGARY, and also to the fact, that YES, I managed to find a room... for october :)
And I have just created this...
Anyways, so, I spent last week a fantastic 1 week at home, I was in Győr with my mother, father, and my little brother... (he hates when i say like that...he is 21 or what... and my Grandfather :)))
Than I went to Pécs, visiting my friends there....amazing...today they are having their last-last-last final party in the university...
(i am sure they will have more parties at the uni, but not as a STUDENT...)
IT IS OVER.
5 years.
And I am not there. :(
They are graduating tomorrow!
(Just come to my mind, please send me photos about the graduation!!!)
Congratulations girls, guys! :)
211 FOREVER!!! :)
On Tuesday evening, we had "girls night"... :)
I really needed this talk! But, as I saw, all of us hihihi
Than, on Wednesday, great party at Bazis.
If you are in Pécs, never, ever go there...Seriously. It is amazing. Amazingly bad.
And the DJ dared to say - while a well-known party song was played - "Only the old ppl can remember tihs song..!" hmmm.. I think that was the last worst monent that day in that disco.
OLD PEOPLE????
So, yes, I realized....we are old... too old for those parties... it is now time for girls and little boys like 15-18.
Hmm..that's it.
On Thursday I went to Budapest, visiting the other branch of my firends...
It was so great to see how 2 great friends of mine are in love!!! (with each other obviously!!!!) I am soo happy for you guys! :)))
Let me know if there will be anything about the "CLCC"... (closed LC's Conference) or whatever it called... :P
Big kiss to everybody,
I am back to CH... :)
Changes.
I was very afraid, that there will be lot of changes.
Everybody has changed.
I changed.
You changed.
But it is good to see that that certain "fire" is still in our eyes. :))
It should be always like that! :)

All Blacks - The Haka
STAY BLACK!!!!
New Zealand forever!!! :)))
Seriously...I am scared...poor Portuguese team...
But the mascot is cute...khm..cute? that's a weird expression with rugby...
Looking forward to...
TRAVELING BACK TO HUNGARY!!!!
Yes, finally...less than 19 hours...and I will be back HOME :)
I am worried that
- I will be late.
- I couldn't take the printer on the plane...
- the chocolate won't be enough for all my friends& my family
- actually that is my biggest fear. So please, if it is really less...just smile..and be happy... :)
- @HP it is not the best timing...I mean it is...but...as I am a big "careerist cow" (the cow is stolen... :)))...the timing won't be convenient ever...
- I still don't have any accommodation for October... so the timing is definitely not the best ... :S
But I am looking forward to that trip, because
- of my brother!!! finally we can TALK a lot about everything... ;)
- of my mother&father!!! And my father will be on holiday on that week!!! yeah!!!
- of my grandfather!!! & of course the handball match!!!! :))) On Saturday! :)
- of my friends
- than the conversations... :)
- the drinks
- the crazy Wednesday party... :)
- going to Budapest for the other band of friends
- I can catch up with all my friends!!! :)))
Oh it will be sooo great! :)
Today, by the way, as a last-minute trip, we went to Lyon! :)
That was amazing! :)
And I had a very strange feeling...
Anyway...so I start form the begining...
I was very upset because of the "flat situation..."
So far I have 2 options:
A:
Close to my workplace, not that far from the city center (that is important, because after a crazy night I can walk home...) (ok, after some experience I promised to myself that I will never walk alone home..but...just in case...)It is a collocation of 5 people, they are cool, young. But...they interviewed me...(and other 21 people)...and it is a very big disadvantage that I don't speak french...or at least I won't say it as "I can speak french.."
And they have a very good plan...every 2 weeks 1 out of them do the shopping for everybody and they eat all the time together.
I mean, it is great. I am a people person, so of course I love eating together with the others, or cooking. But like everyday??? And I can not do the shopping for myself? And what if I have different time schedule?
B:
Close to the station, nice, perfectly furnished room, with my own bathroom... but...with a father and his 15-year-old daughter. She would live there just 2 weeks a month. And...again...I don't speak French. :( And the father was kind of weired, that I have "just" L permit.
So, what should I do????
I think, and I am getting to be more and more convinced that I need my own apartment with my own rules. I have to confess that I am too old for a collocation. (Or I was alone for a too long time.) Or simply I am just picky???
But after UNIV how can I be picky?
Anyways...so in this situation I went to RDL to drink. (to forget and to be cheered up) Than they figured out to have a trip to Lyon.
And as Orsi is there, and since I am kind of spontaneous...I said yes.
We went by car...but...on the highway we stucked into a huge traffic jam...due to some construction on the tunnel...anyway...so while we were waiting...a NZ guy ran out of his car...and started to run...with a penguin in his arms...And he stopped next to the car in front of us.
So, it took us a minute to figure it out...that they want to go to Lyon for the Rugby World Cup...NZ against Portugal....
So, now I know everything about rugby...(I should have known something because of Marek...but anyways...)
So, after 1 hour sitting in the trafic jam, and after an other 1 hour travwling we reached Lyon.
It is a big city, with loads of churches...the guys loved my organ-addiction... :) NOT!
And we ate a huge lunch in one of those small, nice, narrow street with cobblestones. :)
Than climbed up to the basilica the view was great! :)
Then we ate huge huge icecream...ice coffee...the coffee was shity, but the ice cream was great! :)
Than we walked around the city a little bit, than traveled home. :)
Unfortunately I didn't meet Orsi...but later... :)
Because I am jealous... Lyon is great, it's bigger than Geneva...ok, there are no lake, no mountains...but still... :)
And yeah, back to my strange feeling.
It was once when I last time was in Paris...and it was Christmas time, and I was just walking on the Champs Elysées...than the lights - the Xmas lights - was turned on suddenly... it was beautiful..and than I just felt, that yes, I will work in Paris once.
(I don't know, nowadays I am dreaming something, and it turns true...usually I don't believe in these things, but now...I started to be more conscious about that...)
And while we were walking on those streets, and among the beautiful colorful houses, I felt the same...
We will see....

Erasmus
Hmm...I 've got an email from the hungarian Erasmus office, saying that there will be a 20th anniversary of this programme, and because of that there is a competition.
Ok, it is not really a competition, the thing is, we have to write a story about:
- the funniest moment
- the most adventures
- the most embarrassing
- the most moving
- etc moments of our Erasmus scholarship life.
What stupid idea is it... All my 5 months in the Netherlands was full with different moments...and each of them was the most of sth...
Seriously...when we were in Berg en Dal, or when the last day with Annamieke she drove us to Nijmegen after a couple of drinks and something else...
The Gay festival in Amsterdam, the corridor parties in Hoogeveldt, the exams and the preparations for the exams... (in an Eastern-european way...), the bycicle tours in any kind of weather.. mostly in rains...eating cakes, movies, squash parties, first and last hug from somebody unexpected, last days, planning our Euro-trip, "the T-story"...yes...all of them was a unique experience, unique moments...I can not write it down on an A/5 paper..not in a way that it will be funny or moving, or embarassing, or interesting, or scary for somebody else...you should have been there!!
Well..maybe the T-story...but that is something longer...
Hmm...I am just wondering, that today this is my 3rd post...well..it is because all day I am not doing anything, just sleeping... :)

Traveling from Geneva 3.
For Meiringen and Brig check the previous posts... :)
In Meiringen there was the Sherlock Holmes waterfall... :)
Anyways...unfortunatly no picture available about Zürich...
Ok, I have to admit sth... I can not take photos... (that's also an other funny thing.. I am working @HP at IPG which stands for Imaging and Pringing Groups...) Yes.., it is all about photos...) So, after a while I gave it up...it is not a shame, you have to know your weaknesses... so that's why I am always happy when my friends are coming and they are taking photos instead of me... :))) They have such a great eye for such a things...
So, about Zürich, I am still waiting for Alice's photos... :))
In the meanwhile here are some photos about Geneva:
Ok, Geneva is not just about the Jet d'Eau...but I like it so much... my favorite place in Geneva is behind the Jet d'Eau... what a pitty that is getting cold...
The Fathers of the reformation...
The statue of Bocskay can be founded here also...
My friends were here... That was when 7 ppl were in my small room... :)
The pooor egyptian girl couldn't handle it...and she betrayed us...

Traveling from Geneva 2.
So, now I have time to write down my travelstories...
3. Bern
I have been in Bern twice...once with @, for the transition party... and once with Eszter...
Well...to tell you the truth...for the second time I liked it better...But still I haven't seen the bears... I think I have already written about it...Yes, definitly, that Bern is nice, it is so swissgerman, it is like when everything would stop there...
The fountain...
The famous clock, with its marvelous play in every hour... (at least that was said in my book,...) well, the truth is not that marvelous...after this beautiful description we excpected something amazing, funny play, how each and every animal and little thing is moving...but...
4. Grindelwald - Interlaken
So, when Eszter was here, we traveled a lot... And she wanted to see something typical SWISS...something like in Heidi...do you remember this film? Of course, with the Grandpa, and the goats, the mountanis, the green beautiful environment...well, that is what Eszter wanted to see...
:)
And as a good host, I wanted to give her this. (Fortunetly, she is such a good organizer, that she arranged everything instead of me...) Thanks :)))
So, we went to Interlaken first - which is rather for the american tourists...
American tourists...
Than, to Grindelwald...for hiking...OH MY GOD!! There are 3 mountains.. the virgin, the evil, and I forgot the 3rd one..but you can guess...if these 2...what could be the 3rd one???
Anyways, so it was amazing...
(ok, to tell you the truth, we were not that lucky, I don't really remember, something wrong happened, than we missed 1 train from Interlaken to Grindelwald, than the train didn't want to move after a while...we had to wait for an other one...and in the meanwhile Eszter kept saying that she wants to experience totally the same as it was in Heidi.
(It doesn't matter, that this movie was made in the east corner of Switzerland..and we were heading to the heart of Switzerland.... :))
But, finally after 2 hour late we arrived to Grindelwald...we decided to go for a 1,5 hour hiking.., the initial plan was to go for a 1,5 h hiking, than for a 4 hours one...aha...of course... :)))
Not to mention, it took us 6 hours...around... :))))
But IT WAS AMAZING!!!
BREATHTAKING!!!
We also stepped up to a real glacier...it was sooo windy...and high!!! SCARY!!!BUt interesting what ice and water could do...
Than we continoued our trip...without any goat... :(
Everything was great...we almost finished...when Eszter for the last time said: ok, now, this is perfect...I just need to see an animal to feel like in Heidi.

Traveling from Geneva
Can you see the little red points where I have been so far?
Yes, not that much..but not bad at all... :)
1. Geneva
2. Annecy (FR)
3. Yvoire (FR)
4. Bern
5. Brig
6. Interlaken
7. Meiringen
8. Grindelwald
9. Brienz
10. Zürich
Let's start with Annecy.
Annecy is in France, 1,5 hours far from GE. Also called as the French Venice.. And right, this small town is amazing....obviously it has got a lake, and mountains around, but the small streets, this old fashioned atmosphere...it is amazing :) And it is not as stinky as Venice... ;)
With Eszter we joined to the group a little bit later...(hmm..why? Because we couldn't find her passport... and why? ööö...because of me...because, last time ,when we wentto Yvoire, I left my passport at home...and I was worried, so we went back for it, which means that we lost half an our from our very important schedule...and I didn1t want to experience the same again..so for security reason, I took her passport too...) Anyways...so, after we arrived, we rented a pedal boat, than cycled in the lake...The only problem was, when a huge boat came in fornt of us...generating huge waves...yes..that was scary a little bit... NOOOOT... rather funny... but later, when I realized that my camera was in the water...well...that wsa not that funny....
Look at the photos:
2. Yvoire
That was an other, typical trip with Eszter. :))) ;)
We rented a bike...and cycled 26 kms... for us, it took 3 hours... Khm...
Somehow I remembered, that for Dolphy the same took 45 minutes...
Ok, ok, we stopped to eat, and stopped to take photos too...
Yvoire is in France too, but you can cícle around the Lac Léman, so it is very cool. It would be better, if we could really bike beside the lake...but it is not possible due to the privet houses, apartments... This 26 km was up and down hill...but it was great! :)
And Yvoire is a middle age city... :)
With the garden, with the castle, with the lake...amazing :)
This is better, than the dutch one, huh?
When the weather is clean, we can see the Mont Blanc... WOW! :)
TBC...now have to go...I am still looking for accommodation from October... :P
