A short report

Well, I`ve been in switzerland for a few days now, since sunday actually.

I spent the first few days at my counsellor Micheal`s house. I visited my first castle, Castle Lenyburg, and shopped around Migros, the Bahnhofplatz, and old Baden.

I`ve been reading Harry Potter, but other than that there isn`t much to do until I start school next week. Today, I am going out to buy a cell phone. I have yet to open a bank account. This Sunday, I have my first Rotary Club Meeting. For some reason, it doesn`t sound as fun as the ones in America. Perhaps because there will be no Tiago there. TIAGO!!!!!!!! LOL. Tuesday, I visit the school I am going to with Micheal, so I can make a schedule (which hopefully will include some much needed flute lessons). I saw the school last night with my host father and sister. It`s very nice actually, less like a prison than Nazareth, much less.

My mom apparently got an aim account to talk to me, to bad I have MSN here. But it was cute, she was happy to have used lol in the email.

Journaling has actually been going really well as a substitue for blogging; I wrote for 2 and a half hours in Amsterdam airport alone. There`s also this awesome Iced Tea here you can buy at migros, Lotus Blume White Tea, it`s a lot sweeter than the other drinks I`ve tried here, and I`ve tried absolutely everything offered me.
