What am I going to do, resist the beer? You resist the beer. Mmm, beer.
Anyway, tonight brings us to the next stage in the explorations of switzerland, namely the inside of my apartment. Exciting stuff, I know, but photos need to be posted somewhere.
First off, the bedroom, window looking out over the terrace of yesterdays fame and river beyond. Noice. One of these days I'll remember to close the window when I go to sleep, so the room is actually warm in the morning - Baden gets hell morning fog on a regular basis (walking into the station this morning it was rolling off the river). The bed is not just a mattress on the floor, despite appearances, and is hell comfy. It also has two roughly double bed size duvets (for a queen size bed) which, while seemingly slightly odd at first blush, actually now strikes me as a great idea - a perception that will no doubt increase in intensity when I find a gorgeous swiss mountainbiking lass to persuade to climb into it with me.
Yeah, that's right girls. We men finally have an answer to the problem of duvet theft. TWO duvets. Whatchagonna do now eh?
What's that? Steal both of them? Oh. Dang.
Anywayyyyyyy....
The lounge/dining room. For those who are around the 5'5 mark and below, the couch represents a palatial expanse of surprising softness and niceness. Taller people will have to get their hunch on, but it's no biggy. Says me, who gets the bed :)
The rest of the lounge is basically loungelike, and looks out over the street, which looks like this.
It has real cobbles, which is very cool. Also, throughout all the towns I've been in so far, they have these little fountain things you can drink from running all the time into big, clean pools all over the place. You can see one on the right of the photo, just before it turns the corner. One day, once I improve my hardcore photographer skills sufficiently to do one justice, I'll take a photo - they are usually made from stone, and quite nice.
Finally, the kitchen, which is quite boring but has all the usual things you'd expect in a relatively nice kitchen.
And now I'm going to go and read my book. It's about the problems with aid allocation in Africa, which I intend to solve (or at least get a trip to Africa out of). Till next time...

I like it even more, but is there room for tall visitors. I think your father may have some concern about this:)
a kitchen no matter how cool the apartment needs good food in the cupboards and lying casually on the bench. I know switzerland has chocolate but is there anything like real peanut butter or vegemite or snax or mealmates or crunchies etc In short do you want anything sent as a care package from me:) I could even do some baking what with me going on leave hehehehe
