I guess since I am now settled in Switzerland, I should tell you a little bit about where I'm living. I'm living in a village , Corcelles, just outside of Neuchatel, the city where I go to school. It's just a short bus ride into Neuchatel, and I go there for school every day and on weekends at night usually. I have a hilarious roommate named Emily from Toronto, and we share a tiny little room with two beds really close together, but it's not too bad. It is very easy to get around here, the public transportation is unnaturally on time, and you can take the bus, tram or train ANYWHERE. I don't have to pay for the bus or train because I got a bus pass when I went to school, and I got a card that gives me a half-price train ticket to anywhere in Switzerland (ie. if I decide to go to Zurich, or Geneva or anywhere else ... in Switzerland) which is great!
This weekend was Fetes des Vendanges, which is a festival celebrating the harvesting of the grapes. Which means it is a lot of drunk people in downtown Neuchatel. But there is also a lot of reeeally great food, which I spent a lot of money on, and there are parades and confetti EVERYWHERE. It was really enjoyable, we went both nights. There were a bunch of outdoor dance floor area type things set up where I obviously busted moves. Fun.
Anyways, things are still going well here. I hope everyone who reads this is having a wonderful time, whatever it is you may be doing!
SEEEE YAAAAAAA
