Movers brought us the last of our stuff, our sea cargo, on Wednesday. I think we have too much stuff… the movers noted that we didn’t at all bring too much stuff, especially for Americans.
They arrived just in time… it started snowing Wednesday, and I needed my golf umbrella. The Swiss are practical. Many people had umbrellas the same size or bigger than mine.
The walk to the train for work was nice… snow falling, lightly coating the ground, and the smell of wood burning in fireplaces all around…
The walking around town has been good for me. Despite eating like a pig last night (all you can eat raclette (meat and cheese… mmmm)), this morning the scale informed me that I’d lost 6 pounds so far.
curious to know how they work out the etiquette around managing a hundred golf-plus sized umbrellas (umbrellae?) at a crowded bus stop or when maneuvering past each other on a busy sidewalk.
crammer: There weren’t hundreds… just a lot. The Europeans tend to be better about personal space than North Americans since they tend to have less of it :-)
was that supposed to answer my question phrased as a statement?
crammer: Yes. Etiquette: they just figure it out. I didn’t notice it being an issue.
never mind.
