I am at this moment in an internet cafe located in the basement of Loeb, a huge department store in Bern. As my brother has been travelling for quite a bit he stopped his internet connection at home and so D and I have resorted to taking a tram into the city centre every morning to check our email. Of course this has to be the week that we are expecting some rather urgent mails.
It has been a hectic week. Flew from NL to Geneve, hoping to meet up with D at the luggage carousel. Instead, we met at passport control. Not only did we get to kiss and cuddle 15 minutes more this break (we both cross respective seas on the 3rd), but I was able to cut the line...heh. The conference went well. It was a global multi disciplinary conference so we were able to gain insight on innovations within entrpreneurial studies from a diverse group of academics from each continent. More importantly, it was small enough to get to know everyone, yet large enough to allow us to gather together a gang to paint Laussane red. I think we drank it dry. (One had to have a bit more than usual when one is a mere student within a group of sociologists, organisational behaviourists, finance and economic geeks discussing the difference between theory and model...this is still not resolved)
After Laussane, we had to meet someone in Zurich so we spent a day there before heading back down to Bern. Did Zurich last July so we spent most of our time in the church admiring Chagalls stained glass. I must admit that is my Have to See in Zurich.
So here I am now, looking into heading out to Venice for Easter. We have no idea how to get there, where to stay, or even if Venice has signs of life during the easter break...but I want to go.
