Bright side of life...

Sometimes it is really hard to look on the bright side of life...

But at least I am trying.

Yesterday my bag was stolen. f.u.c.k.

It was in my favorite restaurant (ok, I just love that kind of food in the ERitarian restaurant, where you have to eat with your hands...) In Geneva you have 3 of a kind... So we were in one of those.
I was sitting on the second chair... (so not even on the first, the closest to the door...)

When I put my bag to the chair, I thought it won't be a great idea.
I knew, I felt it.

Anyways, shit happens.

In my bag, there was my life...
-my walett with money
-my workpermit, bankcards, monthly ticket, even my Holmes Place membership card, my student cards, everything

The owner saw sth or at least he was suspicious, but too late.
Dorys (the new intern from France) and Ahmed ran after the guy... :)))

So, I hope this black/communist/serbian will give me back my identity cards. :)))

That could happen again only to me.
Today I called the Embassy about my passport, and they were really very helpful and nice.
The woman was really surprised that I would like to travel to 3 countries within 3 weeks.
She said, nobody ever wanted to apply 2 kinds of temporary passport.
Well, here I am.

But I have to tell that Carissa and Chiara were great, Ravaka was really really helpful, Ahmed & DL was fantastic, Emi & Ikran funny (to cheer me up), so...

Thank you guys!!! :)))

I was really overwhelmed with all the hugs, support I got from everybody!!! :)))

And yesterday Heath Ledger died as well.
Post- Oscar for him!!!

The optimistic approach:
- I could change my photo on my HP Badge
(nope>> today I already got a new badge, with the same photo on it... blo...)
- I can get a brand new student card >> lots of space for my stamps... ;)
- I have to go to Bern >> finally I can see the (big, hairy) BEARS :)

And anyways, nothing can ruin my happiness... I just have to watch some photos from last weekend (or some videos...) and all my energy, optimism, happiness is coming back...

So, I have to find the "bideo" to upload it here.... ;)

Zermatt - Skiing weekend

Everything started with a great opportunity within HP... We can rent a chalet in Zermatt for a very friendly price.
So, why not?
Let's go and try skiing in Zermatt!!!

Yeah!!!!

4 of us (out of 6) couldn't really ski, but who cares?
Among friends... :)
With Julia we didn't even had skiing outfit... :)

So, the fun part started already on Thursday, when I got an email with the subject: Julia bought her stuff!!!!

And she managed to buy all the clothes, and everything that is needed for a "professional" skier...
Yes, but all the clothes were for children!!!

So, in the afternoon I also checked... And yes, I managed to buy also a trouser and a jacket!!!
(Who cares that the trousers are RED, the jacket is ORANGE???)
It is absolutely not important... ;)

Than the only thing that was missing : THE SKI, the boots, the sticks...

We really wanted to buy them earlier... but the shop had just closed before we arrived...
Anyways... :DDD

So, during lunchtime, we quickly went to the town (for me quickly means: 45 minutes to get in, than 45 minutes to get back to HP....) and manage to rent all the stuff!!! :)
Again, for a very nice price!
And also, we got a great deal:
We can try out the skis this weekend, and if we like, can keep them for the whole season... and the price for this weekend will be included in the "seasonal rent's price!!!

Oh...this weekend was amazing!!!!

So, after 4 hours on the train, finally we arrived to Zermatt... Actually in this town cars are not allowed to get in, only special, electronic cars...
So, also the taxis were these special, small electro-cars. :)
Funny!

I talked to them in German!!! Trinkgeld, trinkgeld.. of course :DDD

The apartment was great, even good for more people, not just 6... :)

On the very first day we had ski lessons... :)
It was very useful!!!
And the view!!!
Oh my god!!! Breathtaking!!!
:DDD

(The Team: Anthony, Manuel, Ikran, me, Emilia, Julia)


We had a wonderful lunch:
In front of us: Matterhorn - One of the greatest mountain in Europe, the most famous one in Switzerland, because of its special shape. :)


The sun was shining, it was so hot!!!
We had beers and special Swiss-German "Hubertuswurst" (Hubertus... hmm... ;)



Actually after lunch we were so well, that we didn't really went skiing.

Than for dinner we got Lasagne from Manuel.. Oh.. magnifico!!! :D

On Sunday, we tried out an other mountain... but commeon, that was killing one!!!



We also climbed up till the highest viewpoint of Europe (climbing means taking the elevator... ;)


We were crazy in the whole weekend, just laughing, skiing, eating a lot (as usual.... ;)... fantastic...
:)

One of the best weekends ever!!! :D



We decided to keep our skis, and try to go to France next weekend!!!
I am looking forward to it!!!

And... in February, I go to Austria, Gerlitzen... :DDD

New Year, new life :)

Long time, I know... :)
However, it was a fantastic 2007 and the start of 2008 is not that bad at all. :)

I won't write about the best moments of 2007, no reflections, just simply a summary, 2007 was a great year, full with challenges, great old friends and new ones. So I am happy.

And for this year, I have my priorities.
- find a great flat/studio/room from February (i know...it is boring...
- go to the gym twice a week
- study german (so, maybe after some weeks, I will post in German Das ist aber fantastisch!!!
- decide about my future... :D This is the best. My contract will end in May, so I have to choose from some opportunities. Now at least I have some... :D I am sure, I won't be spontaneous!!! hihihi

Xmas was great with my family, with my friends...
My mother cooked a lot, so I was just eating, and eating... :)))

Than I was in Pécs, visiting my friends, we went to Villány to wine tasting. This is a great region in Hungary..you should definitely try the red wines there...

Some photos from my time in Hungary:
