geneva

i absolutely adore geneva.

i checked out several museums

the art and history museum, the museum of the reformation and the last one, the rath museum which has temporary exhibitions ( it has a philip de champaigne show).

eating out at geneva is so frigging expensive. having a slice of cake is at least 4 or 5CHF (swiss francs) - 1CHF is about 0.8SDG.

i did not particularly like the swiss pastries. i dun know y but somehow i found the pastries cafes or shops, not that aesthetically pleasing. strange. the cakes look nice, but not quite fine or 'polished' enough.

i hung out at this particular GLOBUS departmental store which is supposed to be e oldest departmental store at geneva. i hung out at the food court, which has the most wonderful ambience and if u 're lucky, you can find a place that faces outside, on the cobblestoned square.

even tho the weather sux in geneva, it's like having a soggy piece of pastry; the weatehr's coming down like a flat pastry, and the weather's damp and moist and cold!

but oh well, i had a good time cos the people were so nice!


this shot i took random when i was just walking on the street near e lake and it has CHINESE faces. weird. oh well, i dunno leh, i'm very partial to chinese slights. but this one, i think probably isn't.



i took this shot at the top of the ST PIERRE CATHEDRAL atop a hill (i'm atop the roof too). the view's v panoramic but it was frigging cold and the winds were strong. st pierre's a great spot at geneva. just lovely.



this is one view from e top of the cathedral.



this is a shot of the old town where st pierre cathedral is atop the hill. i was at the opera house. they were going to show the enchanted flute, pity expensive.



this is russian church which was built thx to the financial assistance of one of the russian czar's sis-in-law who died like, aeons ago.



nice quaint cafe. not q sure they were serving but it was some kind of genevoise cuisine.




lovely architecture. i love e colours of this particular building; that light yellow with magenta windows
