First impression...

Have been in Zurich for 3 days now. It is exactly as I thought it would be or maybe, should be. It is clean and beautiful, automated and mechanized, pseud and planned.
But then, this is exactly what takes away the fun. It is springing no surprises, it is no more and no less than what I thought it would be. Not that I am not having any fun or finding it boring, not at all. I am really enjoying this stay here. Just that, good ol' India has the innate ability to surprise you, even if you have lived there all your life like me. Zurich is right out of one of those city planning games, no anamoly, no loose ends, nothing.
And the silence! Not used to it at all, so few people, so much silence, my room, my office, the silence is oppresive. People meet, say greetzie (that's swiss german for Hello, roughly speaking) and then no more. In a way, it is good. I get my space, don't need to find a quiet place to be with myself. But then, I do miss the hustle-bustle of home also.
Ha ha ha, on rereading, it seems as if I am cribbing about nothing and not liking it here. Quite contrary, am having the time of my life. Awesome work conditions, comfy room to stay.

Should be working now. Have to report to advisor.

Will post more...

1. Cost of food and living in general
2. The girls here and their stupid boyfriends and how I dont get anyone.

till then, happy reading.

P.S. Check out my orkut album pics. Some really nice ones. (if the link doesn't work, you know where to find the album, don't you?)
