Downtown -- You Won´t Find A Place For Sure


Geneva is not as vibrant as it could be to begin with but it seems that the Bel-Air area is slowly dying in the moment. One Bar is closing after the other. The latest was Le Baroque and now Alhambar might get closed down so we get another music hall.

I like this side of the lake, it´s nicer, it has the good shopping, the parcs, the cute bankers you can watch during lunch time, all the fancy schmancy jewellers but it is nearly dead as soon as the shops close.

Do I really have to go to Paquis everytime I want to lounge in a bar in the evening? I am not a fan of Paquis, never found prostitues appealing, especially prostitutes who think I might be potential business. Come on, as personal relaxation assistants should their gaydars be up to date, and I beep loud and clearly, trust me. So I don´t like to be around Paquis, I´m not scared but I simply don´t like it. A friend of mine got very scared when we were walking through Paquis and I explained to her that the drug dealers will not harm her since they want to make a living as well. A nice and friendly non mercie is enough to get them off your back.

Anyway, does´nt Geneva have someone who is planning or controlling the city with it´s bars, shops and stuff? I mean there should be at least some places to go to in Bel-Air besides the UBS ATM. No wonder cocooning became such a trend.

Okay, so I've not been to Alhambar a million times, but still. Boooo.
