Four hours to Milan means about eight to Rome you know.

That's a good point. People have to come and see me too as well.

I just got the best email from them. I *love* the kind of politeness you can only do in French.

I did tick the "feminin" box...

Well mostly I wanted to be sure that you were separating, which it seems you are, so that's good, well done.

It's a shame about hobbes. You need a plan about that, I reckon.

Is this a "do this and then see what happens and how I feel" kind of project?

PM for Lyra.

thank you. Yes, it's something we were already agreed has to happen, and it's good to have a positive thing to go to, something different, rather than carrying on in this job, everything the same, just living elsewhere.

About Hobbes, I don't know, yeah, I'm avoiding thinking about that bit because it's too depressing.

and yes absolutely. I need to decide what I want to do. I want to finish my degree very much, but at the moment I keep having thoughts about conservation projects and animal sanctuaries. which is kind of unrelated. but we'll see.

cheers Wyatt, replied.

All this talk of Hobbes is twitching my comedy nerve...

Yeah, you'd think I'd be able to look after meself by now.

This is my Hobbes. Isn't he a babe?

Very happy for you lyra. Force Croute to show you the vegetarian delights of Geneva, and then tell us all about them so we can holiday vicariously.

Vegetarian....ooops, that's the lamb chops cooked on wine leaves out of the way I guess...

So, it looks like my planned trip will be taking place after all ut at the end of July / beginning of August.

Does anyone have a map of Geneva? I'm trying to find hotels within reasonable walking / commuting distance of the UN main building. Oh, and vegetarian suggestsions for restaurants and local cuisine would be greatly appreciated.

Well I've just found out I need to go to Spiez in October. I'm flying to Zurich but I might also need to Geneva on Friday 17th and I've just found out it's only 2 hours or so by train. If that's the case, I might stay on an extra day and take advantage of some of the advice here (and say Hi to Lyra is she's around).

1890! What area of town is best to live in???

There is no real dodgy places to live, even the suburban cities like Meyrin or Onex are quite safe if not particularly scenic and you beter like tower blocks. Le Lignon is quite spectacular for that, it's one giant block with 10000 people living in it. I would say go for anything really, you can't afford to be choosy with the lack of places available and the public transport network is excellent. You can even live outside of the city, along the train lines towards La Plaine and Versoix, your season ticket includes local trains.

Cool, thanks. I'm trying to get someone who lives in Avenue de la Paix to rent me a room at the moment...
