Was in Geneva for the weekend, catching up with Mykey. Great to see him again, although bit upsetting that the Coral gown was nowhere in site. The city was celebrating "esclade" which commemorates when some savoy troops tried to invade the city but were held back by the walls and the people within - in particular, one lady who poured a hot cauldron of soup over the potential invaders - she will live forever, remembered each year with miny chocolate cauldrons filled with mazipan!
AIESEC had a reception weekend on at the same time, and whilst I had the full intention of joining in the agenda, Saturday the pull of a guiness, a counter meal and euro rugby was far too great. We made it to the AIESEC party, held in a dungeon and according to Mykey, reminiscient of a blue light disco - maybe I am getting older....Sunday, fighting off a hangover, we did manage to get into the old town and go to the AIESEC agenda items, albeit a bit delayed, I guess we were following them, but we didn't catch up.
Oh, on Saturday, I had to find an internet cafe, as Mykey had read my blog the day before and said there was some not nice comments added to a posting about my mum's visit. Turns out it was some absolute looser obviously trying to draw people to his retarded comments and stupid political viewpoints home page - not going to give him the recognition of even using his name here - but this is the first time I have had to use the delete comment function! I would see on the other blogs, "Comment deleted by author" and wonder what was going on - now I know!
Anyways, thanks Mykey for a great weekend - looking forward to Fasnacht in Basel!
