the city is famous for high standard of living. big brands are ubiquitous. rolex, armani, LV, prada, and the list goes on. suddenly, the snow was gone, sign of civilization.
but surprisingly, i saw a Bata shop among all the killing-priced shops!!! i mean, Bata! the Bata u can find in malaysia next to the old groceries shop. the Bata in supermarket Fajar in Taiping! i mean, no offense, but heyy, Bata standing among all the LV, Hermes and Chanel was just nothing more than odd. i was screaming " heyy, Bata eh, Bata?! Bata!!!"
i quite like the city. developed but peaceful. and the youth hostel we stayed even provided us with free transport card. so we could travel all around without paying a penny. so cool.
went to United Nation, the big chair was BIG. with a broken leg, symbolizing the need to help the weak, to support the collapse.
had been trying ass to memorize the facts on it for the history subject in school, n now im here, UN!
the fountain was, to me, a simple fountain. just the splash of water shooting high into the sky.
as i was busy posing for photos, a group of swiss suddenly jumped into me, into my picture, and happily poshed for the camera. oh gosh, for once i was thinking they were attacking me. so shocked. they were all smiling happily, so well, CHEESE! the photo was awkwardly cool with me surrounded by a group of strangers, until peilian came in randomly and kinda spoilt the meaning of the picture. zzz.
had a ferry ride across the beautiful lake to the other end of the city. the sight was just utterly beautiful.
along the way to the the next destination, seagulls were flying all over. it was just so cool!!!! the whole place was great with the mixture of tranquility of the lake and the gliding of the seagulls. i wished i could fly too.
the flower clock was one of the visitor spots in geneva, but frankly it was not so attractive to me.
it was a sunday, and a awful lot of shops were closed, including the utterly important souvenir shops. huhu.... But anyway the place was famous for swiss knives, which i managed to get two.
i will want to visit Switzerland again, i still have lots to see there, especially the Cheese Fondue i missed to taste!!!!
