Seriously?After living in Geneva for 4 years, you tend to get used to Geneva prices.Everything is more expensive here and you only notice it when you are abroad, realizing that things are so cheap elsewhere. 11$ for a vodka tonic at the Pure club in Vegas? What a bargain, you pay the same at Calamar in Geneva!But every now and then it´s over the top expensive. A vodka ginger ale at Java is 59 CHF

Time is ticking, if everything goes according to plan, an armada of movers will invade our apartment in Geneva on the 4th of November and pack up our stuff into a gazillion boxes, ship them to Amsterdam and hopefully will move everything into the house on the 9th of November.I have been kicking Dutch butt a lot lately in order to get everything done in time. In comparison to this move, coming to

We just returned from a 3 day long house hunting adventure in Amsterdam and I am happy to announce that we found the perfect home for us.I had a good feeling about our real estate agent from the start as mentioned in my previous post and I was not wrong.Annemieke, the real estate agent, picked us up from the airport on Thursday and spent the whole day with us looking at apartments. It was really

Has anybody seen the handbrake? If yes, please pull it! The move to Amsterdam is in full on attack mode and I wonder if everything will come together all right eventually.We had 2 moving companies in our apartment for pre-move surveys. Oh how I hate it. I get all panicky when I invite people over to my place, "Is everything spotless, are all the pictures leveled, is the light setting appropriate?

I am happy to announce that I will be leaving Geneva and move to Amsterdam come December.Be prepared for lots and lots of ranting about closing shop in Geneva and getting everything set up in Amsterdam.Now I have finally something interesting to blog about again.

The Summer here in Geneva is beautiful it´s the complete opposite to the winter, which is a nightmare, always Grey, not really snowy, lot´s of rain and always cold, oh how I dread them.Anyway back to the summer, with the lake right under your nose, there are things this summer I definitely want to do.1. Get a boat license.You can make a Swiss lake boat license without much of a hassle, it only

An Ohrwurm, which literally means ear worm, is the German word for a song you have stuck in your head and can´t get rid of.This week it´s Roisin Murphy. She used to be the singer for Moloko and went solo after Moloko broke up. The song is called "Slave to Love" a Brian Ferry song she covered for Gucci´s recent Gucci by Gucci fragarance add.

Some people, who I don´t know, they commented on a blog anonymously, called me "lacking in depth, self-involved and superficial".Do I care about it? No! Do I present my full personality here? No!

Hmm, let me think, what blog worthy did happen in the last months. Oh, the Sindy New years party. Now that was something fabulous.Nir, who is organizing the Sindy parties, somehow did not manage to be in time to secure a nice location, maybe there was a financial aspect as well, for a Christmas ball end of last year. So it was a new years ball instead.The last Christmas ball was in a tent behind

One of the main reasons why I am not blogging as much as I would like to, is the fact that I am working since December. I know, bad excuse, but if 8 hours are missing from your day, stuff does not get done so fast anymore, although there is so much to tell.But the husband came to the rescue and gave me one of those neat little net books for my birthday and after I spent a weekend hacking the

In over three years I have been in Geneva it has snowed a couple of times and only a couple of times the snow was to stay. I find it very interesting that Geneva as a hub for busloads full of drunk British ski and snowboard buffs going to all the close by ski resorts, Geneva doesn´t get much snow itself.As I am writing this blog it is snowing, well kind of, more like slushing. Oh, how I hate that

I am sure you all know the feeling before Christmas, when you're all excited what kind of presents you will get this time. I love that feeling, but what I like more is presents I can use, so the husband and I started this little thing of sending us "Dear Santa..." emails. Well I send emails and simply bother him with tons of "waddayawant" questions he never answers. That´s why he got stuck with a

With the end of the year approaching a lot of things have changed in my life. I started a new job a couple of weeks ago, trying to eat a bit more healthy, willing to loose some extra pounds, trying to quit smoking for a hundredth time and most importantly trying to be more on the nice side of things which is harder as it sounds.So, the new job. The offer came more or less out of the blue. A

I am kinda busy sorting all the blogs I have started but not finished courtesy of my ADD, so let me entertain you with my latest find in music until I have finished them.I fucking love this track.(can I say fuck on here? Hell yeah, it´s my blog, I can say whatever I like)It´s called "Feels Like Home" by Meck.He uses a great sample from "Don´t You Want My Love" the 1992 smash hit by Felix which

We will be going to Cincinnati, and I will fly on to Peoria, thats somewhere in the middle of nowhere around Chicago to visit a friend of mine. He´s flying business, I´m not.

Even me. While surfing the net I mostly listen to music randomly on Itunes, with 65 Gigs of music there are songs I own, but never heard before since I buy the whole Album if I like a song from an artist.10 minutes ago I found myself zoning out, falling in love with a song. It´s a tad older, but it gives me a warm and cozy feeling. It´s Snow Patrol´s "Set the fire to the 3rd bar" a wonderful duet

So, apparently we can smoke again In Geneva. Inside of bars, restaurants and clubs that is. Since I am taking a break of quitting smoking in the moment, yes, I know, it´s bad, I will die, my skin will age (more BOTOX then), it´s great for my diet. I think I will give up again when I lost the 2.4 kilos I am willing to donate in the moment.The whole bringing back the smokers from outside has one

I love good TV shows and I tend to get hooked quite easy on them. Some might remember my 5 year long addiction to ALIAS which left me with a craving for chasing around foreign cities wearing 5" heels, tight fitting spandex dresses and red wigs. Just kidding, it´s blonde wigs.Since ALIAS no longer airs and I have grown up quite a bit, I got into the more serious shows. Luckily I get them fresh

So, I gave in. After over three years in Geneva I have finally come to like to go to the pub quiz. At first I always sought that I am way too young for this and that my knowledge on what happened on Coronation street is way too limited. After I have been the other week, I must say it is really fun, there are a lot of my friends around, Leona really comes up with good questions even I can answer

Desperate Housewives season 5 premiered last night and I must say that we are in for a lot of new drama, set 5 years in the future from where we left them last time. I will not spoil the fun, but as already showed in last seasons finale, some major development takes place.

I went to SIP with some friends last night and I must say, that i am getting more and more upset with the way people behave there.Well, SIP was always known as one of the snotty places here in Geneva with a very weird and random door policy. Getting in is completely dependent on the mood of the bouncers. I personally never had problems getting in, except once when I made the huge mistake to talk

Geneva has a very sophisticated always on time network of trams which I am very grateful for since I cannot drive. Well, I like to think that I can, I simply don´t have a license and in Geneva you don´t really need to drive.

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

As it seems my ideas of traveling do not fit my actual age. I was surfing the net last night looking for a nice destination for the next trip. Of course there are all these monster hotels on the coast of a bigger or smaller island, cruises on huge ships which have everything form a movie theater to a mall, for the adventurous people there are backpacking trips through Asia or Australia.All the

The first time I can remember staying at a hotel was when I was 5 years old and I loved it and I still love staying in Hotels. I don´t exactly know what it is that I love about hotels that much but I feel instantly at home. Maybe because some people say my apartment looks like a hotel. I like the reduced clutter free look. No red walls to scare me away, no porcelain figurines to gather dust. I

This is another blog related to my recent class reunion. As I mentioned before, the reunion was ok, a lot of people I was dieing to see didn´t show up, but I was compensated with a very interesting point of myself I haven´t seen so far. Our teacher was there as well, hasn´t aged a day, I wonder how she does it, and we were travelling down memory lane when she mentioned something that left me

I mentioned in one of my previous blogs that I would go home for a couple of days to attend another highschool reunion. The reuinion was ok, but the hotel, I will write about that in an extra blog, and the clubbing was way better.Living in Geneva for 2,5 years and I nearly forgot how it is to be in a club with great decor, full of happy people and cheap, well compaired to Geneva, booze.We went to

Since I was little I always loved the Bond movies, or movies with a charismatic villain. While other kids wanted to be an astronaut when they grow up I was a little weird and wanted to be an assassin. While I got rid of my man slaughtering and murdering thoughts, well, most of the time, I still am fascinated with evil people.Since evil people tend to be outlaws and I´m a socialholic, I think I

For centuries people were making fashion statements with the things they were wearing, with the hairdos they were sporting but in this millenium things have changed a bit. Where you would make a statement with a great T-Shirt you were wearing and positioning yourself within a group with your haircut before, nowadays you have to add one more thing to be fashionable. Your house. With the cocooning

I have been quiet yesterday since I am in a scheduling chaos in the moment. Friday is another Highschool reunion, so much for not looking back, I have agreed to attend. I will fly into Düsseldorf on Friday and will return to my fashionable exile of Geneva on Sunday evening. I have a total of 45 hours at home and I honestly have no clue how I will be able to manage to see all the people I want to

Atila, a lovely guy I met during my time at Shakers has just released his first album "Lost In Sound". You should like the style if you are into Green Day, No Doubt, The Offspring, Sublime, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Avril Lavigne and their like. What amazes me the most is that he did it all by himself. Instruments, vocals, editing, composing, it´s simply amazing.He is not signed to a label in the

We have this huge jar where we keep our spare change, you know all those coins under a Franc, and I have decided to bring it to the bank and do a little shopping. There are a few items on my list I can´t wait to get my hands on.The Penthouse at the Pierre. The penthouse located at The Pierre Hotel encompasses the top three floors.

I finally went out again last night and I mean going out in the sense of club hopping, seeing friends and coming home hammered at 5 in the morning.A friend of ours celebrated her birthday at Krystal yesterday. I have never been nor heard of the place before so I was quite curious what this place would have to offer. It was a special party yesterday, the so called "Russian Party" so I was ready to

I HAD ENOUGH!!!I have been trying to quit smoking a zillion times and I failed every single time. I tried cold turkey, which nearly resulted in a murder-suicide, gum which burned my gums because I was chewing frantically trying to get all the nicotine out of it, the stuff with the needles, what´s it called - heroin, just kidding, and patches. The patches were providing the best results but

Flipping through the latest issue of GQ I realized that my biggest nightmare in terms of colours is back, Pastels. I hate them from the bottom of my heart. For me, pastels are such an uninspired coulour, if you have no clue what colour you like or you are afraid to make a statement, just wear pastels.Wearing colours was never my cup of tea, I tried it several times and it failed horribly every

Everyone knows the problem. You have been clubbing way too long the night before and you have an important meeting / brunch / shopping trip in the morning. You drag yourself out of bed and there they are. Big swollen bags under your eyes plus red eyes that would make a great addition to your zombie halloween outfit.It is always a good idea to have two coffee spoons in the freezer. In case you had

Allright, in my previous Blog I said I would post some before and after pics of my Botox.I am very selective with pictures of me, so it was hard to find a good before picture.I found one which was taken a month ago. I must say that my lines were in an early state so I could cover them up pretty well with concealer. Note that the before picture is actually a picture where I have applied concealer

There are lots of websites filled with cliches about Germans and being German I was wondering if they are right or not. So here is a quick check if I am a typical German or not.Germans are fat.I have a BMI of 19.0 so I can say that I am not fat.Germans wear leather trousers, all of them do.Lederhosen are part of the traditional dress of Bavaria and Bavaria is only a small part of Germany.

Because of some contract changes I was without Internet for 7 hours today and I am still a bit shaken up. When did I become so addicted to the Net? I mean I spent most of my youth without Internet, till the age of 17 to be precise though I had a computer, but nowadays I am pretty much helpless without it. I wanted to look up the number for the Swisscom hotline, oh wait no internet. I wanted to

Living as an expat means that you are very likely to change the town where you are living every two or three years. At least if your are young and you want to see the world.This is fun but brings up a problem most people don´t have to deal with, change of the standard of living.

Ten days ago it was my first time. I was a little bit nervous but not scared. He took a good look at me and then asked me to lie down. He prepared the syringe, putting the needle on top and filling it up with the liquid which would take care of my worries and fears. He cleaned my skin and gently sticked the needle into my tissue and pushed the plunger.I didn´t feel any pain but I heard how the

My last post and a nice chat I had with Kate got me thinking, that I´m really not the person who wishes to be back in High School because it was such a bloody good time. Don´t get me wrong, I didn´t hate it or something but it´s just not worth going back, even if I could.There were so many things I didn´t know, so many people I haven´t met, so much self esteem I didn´t have, so many drinks I didn

Being an ex-pat means that you have left your hometown and all of your friends behind you, starting from scratch all over again. What would ex-pats do before the invention of the Internet? How would they stay in touch with each other? I simply have no clue. Sure there is always the option of writing letters, but for me personally it never worked out.

I don´t mind being called that since, to a certain degree, it´s true. What I do mind though is with what kind of bag I am seen with.

When I said that the winter was over i really believed it. Boy was I wrong. It has been snowing and raining for three days on and off and I am really considering hiding in my atomic shelter, which 90% of the houses here in Switzerland have, until it´s over. But there is hope, it is supposed to be nicer by the end of the week.I am trying to get myself out of the house to do some grocery shopping

As lovely as Geneva might be, it can be very depressing in the winter, especially if you are not into winter sports. This was my third winter here in Geneva and I am so happy that it is finally over.
