Hello. Bonjour from Switzerland.
恭喜發財 Kung Hei Fat Choy !
We wish you all a Prosperous New Year of the Tiger and Happy Valentine’s Day. With the opening of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the start of O Carnaval in Rio, what a busy weekend !
We are back online. The biggest adventure has just begun and there are many many stories to tell. My iMac arrived by air freight and was delivered on Friday. Finally, I can download the pictures from my camera (my SD card reader refuses to work with the company’s Dell laptop). I hope to post several times a week. Check back regularly or look out for announcement on Facebook or twitter (@christwitx).
I am staying at a company-rented apartment in Peseux which is a small town above Neuchâtel. It is on the third floor with an attic and has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. These are the views from my balcony and a back window. Lake Neuchâtel can be seen faintly here in the haze. On a clearer day, the snow-capped mountains on the other side of the lake can be seen. The weather is like NY but generally overcast with a light dusting of snow.
Here is a map of Peseux:
