In the Swissness

I'm back in my beautiful little country since 3 days. And no, I don't have anything like jet lag or reverse culture shock or anything alike. The only thing I have is pure happiness, joy and wonder about all these small little things we have here. Like showers that actually have pressure, there is basil in the garden, food is good, pillows are soft, fridge is full of milk and yogurts and cheese and olives and salad, there is bread and cornflakes and fruit, air smells fresh and clean, I can sleep without earpax, the bus takes me from the station to Lagerweg in 4 minutes without standing in traffic for 5 hours, miraculously I get Der Bund for free at home, the bakeries sell Gipfeli, the Aare is clean and blue-green, the Rhone vally lies in pure sunshine as always with already a bit of snow on the very mountain tops, I have a sink, I have a flush, trains are fast, opening the window at night cools the room down and not the opposite, there are no air cons, aahhh... so many nice things!

This is a very materialistic approach, I know, I know. But it's nice nevertheless. :-) And anyhow, it's not the time yet to explore the non-materialistic things YET, because right now, technically, I should be sitting on the table and studying, since exams are coming up in only 14 days and I have not started yet!

And therefore it's over and off, because now is the time to start. So now you know, I'm back, and in good condition, and would be very happy to go for a beer sometime. Just call me up!
