Why is it so much bigger in Switzerland?


.
Yes, the fondue pot aisle at the local department store, that is! I couldn't even really fit it all in the frame, and I felt like a total loser taking this picture so I didn't stick around for a second or third attempt. Instead, I surreptitiously snapped it on my cell phone while pretending to text message or some other dumb thing.

Today I'm totally low-key. Finished exams on Friday, and they all went well enough I think, though I won't actually know the results for a while I guess. Friday was also a beautiful day, so I went out for a patio beer or three afterwards, and there was an IMD-sponsored post-exam dance party at a discotheque (yes, people really love their discotheques around here), which was also quite fun. I got vocal with the bartender for the ridiculousness of CHF16 single-ounce mixed drinks (I kid you not) and I guess he agreed because he started to be a lot more generous afterwards, and although the party raged until 4 at least, I was home exhausted from a serious week of exams by about 2. Saturday was spent almost entirely on the couch, and Sunday has been all about eating and drinking copious amounts of espresso in various coffee shops in town with various people, and now I'm done with blogging too!

Oh, and a special hurrah to Inder and Morwenna, who decided to get engaged yesterday, in case anyone reading this knows them but hasn't heard the news yet!

Congratulations Morwenna and Inder! Though I have to say this was not exactly the best kept secret.
