So it’s time for round three of Sam’s European Adventures. This time my resolve is to see as many different countries as possible, even if I quite literally step over the border and back again. I had hoped that my visa would have come through but alas we’re still waiting so I’m just here on another three month visit. I think I’m kinda over the whole living in Geneva thing by now – and do I like those long haul flights? Oh no I don’t!

My arrival in Geneva almost got off to a disastrous start when I was pickpocketed, rather clumsily, on the bus from the airport. My makeup bag I can live without, but my passport was a different story. Fortunately a friendly native told me that a woman had taken something out of my bag and pointed her out. Acting instinctively I made a grab for my things which I could see under her arm… whereupon she promptly dropped them on the floor and pretended they were there all along. I called her a thief and made my indignation known to all and sundry, but she calmly stayed on the bus until the next stop where she got off. What can you do really? More lessons learned and I will be maintaining a vice like grip on my bag from here on out 🙂

And finally… Go Wildcats! Beat those 36ers tomorrow night while I’ll be cheering you on from my computer 😦  Ah it’s a sad, sad thing to miss half a basketball season. Really should have timed this vacation better.
