You never know. So far so good. I haven't really been here long enough to know if I can just tolerate it here, mostly like it, or really love it... Well, I've met the people who work on the same floor as me. They don't let us sciency folk out of the lab much. They're afraid we'll scare the locals... I live in an apartment, on a bus line, between work and fun.

Welcome to Switz. I don't speak the language yet either and what works best for me so far, is just to smiling and nodding.

Fixed that for you. AFAIK this country is not referred to as Switz, Swiss, Swissie, etc.
And yes, welcome to Rose. Enjoy your stay in the land of chocolate and cheese. | Quote: | |  | | | Welcome to Switzerland. I don't speak the language yet either and what works best for me so far, is just to smiling and nodding. | | | | |

Welcome to beautiful Lausanne, Rose! If you haven't done it yet be sure to take a cruise on the Lake in the coming weeks as the vineyards will be turning gorgeous autumn colours soon. The "boucle Ouchy-Montreux/Château de Chillon" is the best route.
