If you click on this link and scroll down to the bottom of the web page, you'll see two photos of Beni! The guy I wrote about an entry or two ago. (We've been keeping in touch.) I personally find this article very interesting. Although I'm not sure what it says. I'm sitting here on the computer willing myself to understand this German gibberish.
Which is the same thing I do in the train in the morning - pretend to read the articles in the newspaper. I just sit there and stare: please, please let there be "bahnhof" somewhere in this mess of words; I can understand that.
(Bahnhof = train station.)
Some Swiss girls I met here made a card for me with pictures of us and presented it to me a couple days ago with a pack of colorful pens - a going-away present!! Tonight I met them at the Mc Donald's in town, which was the last time I'll see them before I leave. I'm jealous of them getting to practice their English on me. Reminds me of practicing my Spanish. I wish I could practice German on them, but I don't know enough.
Tonight's my last night here in Grenchen. (On to Zurich tomorrow.) I have to say goodbye to the Christmas lights on the wall, the poufy, colorful blankets, the mattresses piled in the corner, Desperate Housewives playing on the computer in the next room. The people. This special freedom that Switerzerland seems to have - an odd mixture between city and country, responsibility and relaxation. A freedom I think I will miss.
