You know you’re in Switzerland when…

  • You smell a wood fire on the way home from work in the evening. Mmm…
  • You have too much cheese and chocolate in the house. Yes… it is possible… but only in Switzerland.

You know you’re a parent when…

  • You’re happy your kid pooped in the potty.
  • You’re even happier because it means that he’s done pooping in the shower.

Here’s How to get software for Windows Mobile on Your Cell Phone:
In your web browser on your cell phone, go to http://wap.software.com/portal/menu.do?id=5705 click on “software“, then from the drop down menu select “software for Windows Mobile!” or you can get it now by clicking the “send to cell” button above and having the link sent to your phone!

One of the stupidest mobile download experiences ever, from a company that should know better.

  • This is one of the reasons we moved here. On a random Saturday morning, decide we want to see something. Hop into the car, drive through Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, and arrive at “Sleeping Beauty’s castle” (according to Alex).
  • One whole day without using my computer. Withdrawal.
  • Schloss Neuschwanstein is newer than our old apartment in Cambridge.
  • Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Hohenschwangau are even more beautiful on the inside.
