France Trip 2015: Blog Entry 12 - Geneva, Switzerland

It’s all about the money

As we had already been to Geneva a couple of days ago as part of the UTD trip, this time we went to a different part of the city. Misael joined us today since his flight was leaving out of the airport here and the three of us walked all along the river and enjoyed a very pleasant weather. Geneva is a very beautiful but expensive city. We didn’t explore much of the city since we were all really tired from the previous days. We tried to go to a restaurant but everything was so expensive! Every course was around 30 or 40 francs. We ended up finding a small Middle East place which sold food starting from 8 francs. The food was really good but I preferred not to eat much and just wait for tomorrow’s breakfast at the hostel. So far I’ve been impressed by how all the hostels we’ve stayed in have been very safe and nice. People are really open and happy to share stories or just have a pleasant conversation with a stranger. When walking thru Geneva we found the park we went to a couple of days ago, and I had the chance to play chess with a stranger. Although I lost I felt like it was a good game, my father taught me how to and we used to play a lot many years ago. Having the chance to play again brought back many nice memories from my past which made me appreciate all the things I’ve been thru so far. Because of this and since the trip is almost over I felt a little nostalgic but happy because of all the experiences and knowledge I’ve gained so far. Not just business knowledge but also all the things I’ve discovered about myself.
