World Health Organization

I finally got to have lunch with Andrada at the WHO and tour the facility. In the front courtyard is a statue that illustrates the tradgedy of Onchocerciasis, commonly known as River Blindness, which was especially prevalent in West Africa but also affects Central and South America.

Oral Exam Results

I passed! HOORAY!

Veyrier-Douane at 10:30 pm. Just got home.


World Trade Organization (WTO)

My school's library, computer lab, some classrooms and offices are in the basement of the WTO. I often take my lunch in the large park behind it that overlooks the lake.

Hodler Exhibit

Paysan qui médite (Meditating Peasant)

Hodler himself. In Paris, of course.
Self-portrait. In Geneva. Obviously.
Hodler in Canada. Clearly.

...just joking! That one's called "The man with the wooden leg"

Old man taking a walk in a parc. And the axe-wielder. I feel sorry for that tree.

Carouge

Apparently Annemasse is at the end of the rainbow. Odd.

Happy 4th of July!

JPZ Jazz Band, an outstanding jazz ensemble. It was quite entertaining to hear Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" in a French accent.


No joke. Line dancing to country music in Geneva! Luckily, ONLY on the 4th of July. : )

Vaches à Genéve

There are 70 decorated cows on display around Geneva. I found about 27 with Jaci a Saturday afternoon and have found a few more in days since.


This is tourist vache, looking out from the balcony of her swank hotel room.
