And I'm sure you'll get time to explore at night. <BR/><BR/>The night I spent in Geneva was Portugal's semi-final Euro Cup match, and I found out there was a very large and very loud Portugese diaspora in the city. Lots of Italians too, and of course an assortment of asylum seekers from different countries. <BR/><BR/>There are streets leading to the lake with very nice bars, and the old city is pretty. Public transportation's good as well. Enjoy!thalassa_mikrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942716364297839680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1111246280765671332005-03-19T21:01:00.000+05:302005-03-19T21:01:00.000+05:30"Exposing" is probably a confusion from the French..."Exposing" is probably a confusion from the French word "exposé."<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your trip!

Will have to go along with the programme and just be glad for the odd hour or two of solitude. France is out of the question anyway. The fairs are in Basel and Geneva but we'll be staying in Zurich and Lausanne respectively, for purposes of economy.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1111178501634421512005-03-19T02:11:00.000+05:302005-03-19T02:11:00.000+05:30I had to transit through Switzerland on my way to ...I had to transit through Switzerland on my way to France last summer, and wasn't really looking forward to it. I had been biased by reading that "cuckoo clock" quotation when I was young, and was thankful that I was only passing through. <BR/><BR/>However, I went to Geneva, which is probably the most interesting part of Switzerland, and wished I had spent more than just a night there. Avoid the hoardes heading up to Interlaaken, that's where the Indian honeymooners end up. Try and go to Geneva and Lausanne (I hope your fair is at either of the two cities), and you'd be close to the Alps, close to France (go get a Schengen visa for that country), and in a very vibrant and cosmopolitan city.thalassa_mikrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942716364297839680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1111141328503920252005-03-18T15:52:00.000+05:302005-03-18T15:52:00.000+05:30Enjoy your trip.. with alll the timepeices and mou...Enjoy your trip.. with alll the timepeices and mountains and the cuddly cows! thats an expression I will not forget in a hurry.Janakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068622582534965333noreply@blogger.com
