SCHILTIGHEIM, FRANCE
There’s really not a heck of a lot to tell about Geneva. One of my classes, “Policy Seminar on Contemporary Europe” visited the city for a few days to meet with some officials from some international organizations.

Everything went very well. I enjoyed it, and I might have even learned something. We stayed at the John Knox Centre, which was pretty nice. The city itself wasn’t bad either. Some tour books tell you to just skip it. And while I wouldn’t go too far out of the way to visit Geneva, if you’re at all interested in world affairs it definitely warrants a visit. It’s big, expensive, and very cosmopolitian. The city sits right on Lake Geneva (Lac Lèman), which is really pretty. All in all, it’s a nice place, and it feels appropriate for all of the diplomats who live there, but I wouldn’t want to live there. It feels like a place you go for vacation.

We left Geneva for Strasbourg at around 1:30pm today. I was actually supposed to stay in Geneva and meet up with someone I met at the Fans Party after the hockey game in Fribourg, but that didn’t work out. I’m almost positive it wasn’t my fault, and I hope I’m right. I still feel bad enough about standing up Josh in Basel.
So yea, that’s about it. Like I said, there’s really not a heck of a lot to say about Geneva/Genève/Genf. Good times, though.
