°Woke up, Jet legged =T
°Went w' Tita Yeying to United Nations centre In Geneva
+So much history and structure to the United Nations!
+Very interesting, I should work for them! haha
+I was saddened I had no film for my camera... im quite the tourist
+The paintings, the buildings, the rooms aka "salle" en francais, are so amazingly painted! You would be in quite the AWEness if you ever saw such paintings by such artists!
+But man... i really wish i had some darn film! ZUT ALORS!!
°Then rushed to the International Red Cross Centre... which was idealy right across the street from the United Nations. Almost like neighbours!
+Saw some really moving, disheartening and saddened museum/exposition of photos of the results of war, and terrorist attack, and the destruction that War makes
+Got to look at the Red Cross museum for free, only b-c they were about to close, I did not have enough time to look
+A lot more history info I learned, more important ppl, instruments, historical collections, books, old doctors instruments, a variety of stuff! tis good to be aware of the past I realize...
°Went to downtown Geneva, my aunt bought tickets for this Kung-Fu Shaolin performance, it looks so sick!
+Bought some candy, saw a few of the festivities going around in one of Geneva's PArks
+Finally BOUGHT SOME FILM! I tried to take as many pictures as i can, Geneva has some fantastic and incerdible views !!!
+Saw swan and ugly ducklings+ haha, the picture was awesome!
°I saw and H&M and Zara and Louis Vuitton stores! OH gahhhd, I was like WHHHAT no wayyy José!!!
°After my french classes, I will come to the shopping stores in downtown and check them out,
(they are all freakishly expensive!!!)
°Went with my cousin Noelle and her friends to find a club... a SALSA club!
°it was quite the hotness, but the first one was a flop, music sucked... so we went to some other place...
°called the... "Chat noir", meaning the Black Cat! it was quite empty at first, but oh man ppl STARTED TO FLOOD IN!!
°THe music was good! I cant dance salsa for crap! hahaha, or at least i tried! its fun tho trying to improvise something i really s uck at!
°music started to change to some funk, but it was danceable and FUN!
°the place got hotter, sweatier,and freaknigly HAAAT! honestlz beautiful ppl! Noelle's friends are so nice! they bought me my drinks =)
°but damnnn DRINKS ARE DAMN EXPENSIVE!!! i wanted to buy a Pina Colada... but the price was 17 FRANKS!!! which is almost $20+ in CANADIAN! Damn son! just for a measly drink! the shebang here are expensive!
But the night was all in all fun, a fun filled day, i hope to write more, but im glad my first or 2nd night was an awesome one!
Switzerland really rocks... so far!
London and Paris... I hope you folks are ready for me!
