My Dad
My dad sent me a flower through email the other day.
He also sent me a photo of him in 1976, the year I was born. Check out his hair. My dad is awesome. Also that bear, I remember that bear.

The Dutch
Football is in full swing over here. I thought perhaps I’d escaped it by going to the U.S. for three weeks, but they’re all still here, driving through the streets with their flags on their cars, honking at all hours of the night (I’ve brought NYC with me), hooting and hollering and throwing garbage all [...]
On the train
Ok, I’m currently sitting on the train at the Bern station, waiting to go to Zurich. I have no other reason for posting this except to say OMG I am on a train and found wireless. Ha.
The top is the bottom
I’m so glad that Disney has not managed to rob me of the real experience of this fabulous mountain, as they managed to do when I went to visit Old Town Prague and blurted out, “Hey this looks just like Disneyland!”
Despite my tram going off in an unexpected direction this morning due to football route [...]
Up the mountain
So I made it to Zermatt, and there is wireless internet here, omg! No time to write now as I’m headed up one of the gondolas, but I’ll definitely have pics for everyone later tonight. Yay!
Zermatt
Hi everyone, I’m on a train headed to Zermatt right now. It’s about a three hour ride from Zurich. I’m off to see the Matterhorn and just spend some time in the woods to pontificate privately. Of course, I’ll broadcast it all later when I get back (remember, first rule of friends with Jess, don’t [...]
Gross
Last night at dinner the Google Zurich cafe was serving horse. Yes, you heard me right, my friend Flicka, Mr. Ed, Misty of Chincoteague, Sea Biscuit, and all that. Out of morbid curiosity, yes, I tasted a tiny piece. I chewed it about halfway through before I had a vomiting sensation and quickly swallowed it. [...]
Kiwi
Kiwi is a web developer who sits across from me in the office here and steals all my Kleenex and pens when I’m traveling (and sometimes while I’m actually sitting here). He moved here from New Zealand, although his background is actually a mix of New Zealander and Malaysian Chinese. For your enjoyment, here is [...]
Summer in Zurich
Summer arrived in Zurich while I was away in the U.S. The spring tulips are gone, replaced by summer wildflowers, the heat and humidity bear down, and all the sheep across the street from my apartment sit under the trees the whole day long. People are swimming in the lake, jogging in tank tops, and [...]
Sugar Mountain
Or as the Google Zurich chefs like to call it, “Malteser Death Mountain Tart (with mountain climbers).” This cake hurt my teeth, in a cute way of course. Look at the bigger version to see who the mountain climbers are.
