| Snow scene in Switzerland |
On 18
th December I arrived from a very hot, warm
and friendly
India and
landed myself in snowy cold, but unfriendly city of
Geneva. I was happy to see the snow
everywhere, it reminded me of home; however I was ill prepared for the dramatic
change in the climate and the people’s hospitality.
I stayed only one night in Geneva
and moved to a smaller city of Lausanne
where I booked into a cheap hotel for two nights. My body was tired, I
developed a cough, a massive cold and temperature too and all I wanted to do
was to sleep all day and all night. Unable to speak any French, I used sign
language to obtain medicine from the chemist and had a long sleep, hoping for a
quick recovery.
Lausanne
is famous for its lake and I had very little time to go out and explore the unfriendly
environment. Fortunately, there were two Asian men in the same hotel as mine
and their company and spicy food they shared with me was worth waking up for each evening of my stay in
this lonely planet of mine!!
