Well that didn't take long...we're already violating contracts and ruining the Swiss internet, great...
2. On a more exciting note...I went out to lunch today...with other people! I had joined the Zurich American Women's Club a week or so ago and decided to check the other day if there were any activities coming up...and there was a lunch out today...so what the heck, why not? It ended up being a very small (which was nice) group of women mostly my age or older (except for the one with the 8 month old!), most of which had some connection to some part of my life...lived in NJ, lived in the Midwest, lived in Japan...and one lives just across the park from us in Zurich! I can go out on our terrace and practically spit on her apartment...how great is that??!! Yeah for me!
3. Another exciting note...I was fortunate to garner a post on the #UWRightNow 4/18/12 website capturing 24 hours of what makes UW Madison so special...from the viewpoint of its students, staff, alumni, etc. both in Madison and all around the world!
