World's a small place...
a. I live in a hostel which houses people from all over the world.
b. I am just coming back from a weekly meeting of IAESTE trainees. These are people like me who have come to Switzerland to study or work. IAESTE helps with the immigration and accommodation issues.
Am compiling a list of people I have met over the last 10 days. More a reminder to me than anything. Just take a look at the varied nationalities.
Finland - Juho (working)
Ireland - Bryan
Sweden - Tomas (working)
German - Roger (working)
Poland - Carolina (doing masters)
Swiss - Paul, Robin, Claudia, dearest Angela, Denise, Evelyn, Deborah
Holland - Marcha, Ester (sisters doing an internship in microbiology)
Iran - Ahmed (works)
Cameroon - Regis (doing masters here)
Tokyo - Hishashi (god knows what he does, but an extremly talkative lovable person)
China - Jimping (working)
Thailand - Tham (studying music here)
India - Anand, Chitra (from good ol' Kolkata), Hrishikesh, Varun, Rishi, Raj, Sandesh.
Peru - Alonso (looks almost like Sachin Tendulkar, will try to get his pic at next's week meeting)
Most of them working here, others studying, all for 8 months to a year.
Love meeting new people, talking to them, studying their reactions to Indians and India. Will write my observations about all these later. In the meantime, will keep meeting up more people.
Keep wondering what to post next. Lots of interesting things keep happening. Wish I could write them all. Europe is strange, interesting, fun to discover; so my initial observation wasnt entirely true.
By the way, the swiss people have their own keyboard, with the Z and the Y interchanged. This is the only change in the letters but a whole lot of symbols inserted, and so they have 3 layers of symbols on some keys (like we have two and use shift to use the upper ones). They have a special key AltGr for that.
Some samples of sy.mbols --- ²³öäüߧ°ç¬|¦¢`èàé.
Till next posting, have fun :)
