Sankt Gallen: Chapter 3 - Sausages, Dogs, and Snow

St.Gallen - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Gallen

My first morning here was superbly beautiful. Coz of...It's SNOWING!!..I have seen snow before but not the flaky flakes comes down from the sky. But this one now for real..flakes coming down from the sky. OMG!! Zuu Schone!!!

And my neighbourhood became like this:

Yup. I then went to Zhengyuan's and we went for groceries. MIGROS our lifesaver - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migros

Everything here is zuu teuer (expensive!!) One meal costs u around CHF 8 (S$ 10 or Rp 64rb). But don't worry! There is this brand called M-Budget. It is a MIGROS's line. So, they have everything but in cheaper price and of course uglier packaging. (http://www.aquaclic.ch/pictures/00-aquaclic/aquaclics-individuelle/supermarket-m-budget-migros.jpg - sth like that)

And everywhere you go here, you can always see people walking dogs. They bring their dogs everywhere even inside of the airport and bus. And there are so many types of dog here. Really makes me wanna have one too.

This one I saw it in front of the Migros Supermarket. It looked so calm and wise. I dunno why I imagined him as Gandalf in LOTR doggy version. Haha.

We went also to a hill to see the whole St.Gallen. It was amazing. As pictures paint more than thousand words. So here it goes.

And *narcissistic* I kinda admire my photography skill. Talent I guess. Hohoho. More pics, check my facebook mate.

We went to a carnival too here. There was this town celebration where everyone dressed up like halloween and gathered in the Marktplatz here. There are marching bands and pasar malam as well. So lively. Here is a pic of a cute cute bear family..*kawaiii desune*..

And funnily..I saw sausages everywhere. Like literally every food kiosk must have sth that has sausage in it. Bratwurst. A big thick sausage. Even in restaurants or market, sausages are basically everywhere. That's why we then had our own sausages!!! Yeah!!! Kudos to Adrian, Michelle, ZhengYuan, and me!

"..gives us today our daily bread..."

Sankt Gallen: Chapter 2 - Flug

When I arrived in Changi, it was a dull friday morning. Accompanied by my sausage roll from breadtalk, I walked around looking for people around my age taking the same flight. None.

'Ok then,' I said to myself. Then I took off in a crammed A330. No personal entertainment.

'Ok then', I said to myself. Then I went dozing off (Thx to not sleeping the night before!!!).

'We will land in Doha International Airport in 15 minutes', an Arabic accented voice said.

This was Doha in Sandstorm. I couldn't even see the sky!

The airport was quite boring. It was small. Slightly larger than Ngurah Rai. Small DFS. And..NO MONEY CHANGER AT ALL!!..So, I said to myself, 'Ok then.'


Flight continued...


This was the view from the plane above Switzerland! So pretty! Everything was icy white. And it looked like just beneath us a few feet. I think because it was a high terrain of mountain area. So high it must be.


The flight was still boring..'Ok then,' again I said.


And Zurich Flughafen (Airport in German) finally! It turned out to be quite small and modest unlike the grandeur Changi or even Soekarno-Hatta.







Zurich Flughafen (all the u should have umlaut)
This was the checking in counters. Above restaurants. And...that's all. The gates were at the different blocks where you had to take a underground train. But yeah, not fancy. It was just like that. 'Ok then...'




Luckily, I found a someone who was going to St.Gallen as well. He brought a red passport. He had a large bulk of luggages. And...he was an SMU student! Yay! ZhengYuan. We went to buy the train tix..and...


There!!! Can you see it?! St.Gallen. OMG I was so excited! The train was just like a Jkt-Bdg or Jkt-Yogya train 1st class. Not bad.

I then took a cab from the station to my place. I think I got cheated coz I paid CHF 12 and it was so freaking near. But nevermind...I am RICH *wow...self-consoling..joking peepz..but still..CHF 12 T_T*

And here I am..Sankt Gallen...A town of sausages, dogs, and snow...

Sankt Gallen: Prologue - Me back!

Yup..as the title says..I am going to blog again. Why? *Good question*

Coz..I am now in SWITZERLAND!!
I am on exchange program in St.Gallen University, St. Gallen - Zurich.

Let's the story begins..

Before that, I would like to thank these wonderful people for staying with me throughout:

• Dear Lord for giving me the opportunity to go on exchange.
• Papa Mama for the fund. Haha. For everything.
• BGanks (U know who u are) for all those wackymemories (esp Noci's pics) back in Jakarta.
• Gilstead 50F.Co for taking care the house. Haha. PS: Mako, thx for the last conversation we had.
• SMU Chamber Choir for the wonderful concert just before I left.
• SMU friends.
• And lastly, my cold and introvert roomie (hehe..xp) who stayed up the whole nite to give me moral support.

Satoe

Satoe. Ya, satoe. Gw menjadi pemilik rumah satoe-satoenya saat ini d sg. Napa? Krn pada pulang ke Indo semua.

Si Kribo
Si kribo ini ud pulang dari bulan Mei. Awalnya dya mao lamaan d sg. Nunggu temennya dateng k sg trus shopping bareng trus baru pulang bareng. Hedon nian memang. Tp ibu mana yang tak panik melihat pengeluaran anak seperti ini. Diungsikannya lah pulang sebelum jatuh lebih banyak korban (baca: dollar2 dalam dompetnya). Ya, dan sepertinya dya melalui banyak kisah hidup di Jakarta. Mulai dari cewe sampai...sampai...kisah perjuangan hidup dan mati, disunat. Ya, dya dsunat liburan ini. WAKAKA.

Si Bule Malang
Arek Malang yang satu ini pulang setelah Si Kribo kira-kira 1 bulan yang lalu. Tak banyak kisah tentang si bule Malang ini selain beliau pulang dgn keadaan mabuk setelah post dance concert partynya. Maklum, bule lugu dari kota kecil d Jawa Timur ini tak pernah mengenal minuman keras. Wong nenk Malang ono ne ronde karo sekoteng. Piye to iki cah arep ngombe-ngombe karo ajep-ajep. Ya, kemudian dia melenggang dengan bahagianya dengan meninggalkan jejak keberadaan dya berupa jemuran yg tidak diangkat walau dya akan pulang selama 1 bulanan.

Si Koko
Kalo yang ini pulang bentar doank. Well,dya ud sering bgt pulang seh. Libur barang seminggu aj pulang. Akibatnya saya menjadi penguasa satoe kamar itu. HUAHAHA. Leluasa. Tapi juga sepi T_T.

Si Cici
Ini pulang minggu lalu. Senangnya pulang ampe nanti tgl 19. Di Indo bertemu Si Oom pula. Salam kangen manja buat Si Oom. Ditunggu lagi kehadirannya di samping peraduanku. Wakaka. Kalo dipikir-pikir cici yang satu ini kasian dch. Internshipnya paling capek tapi gajinya paling kecil. Wakaka.

Si Junior
Ya tinggal si mahluk malas ini yang masi tinggal menunggui rumah. Dan akhir-akhir ini dya tidur 12 jam sehari. WOW. Enak bo.

Sekian laporan live dari sini *drmn coba sini itu*

Junior, SIGN OUT! (shit masi satoe stgh jam lg ampe pulang kantor)
