Updates!

Well I had planned to update yesterday, after we got back from BEAUTIFUL Le Gruyere but the internet was cranky. So here are the photos! If you thought Schwarzsee was beautiful, check gruyere out. Its at least 982734987239874298374 % more beautiful. You never run out of scenery in Switzerland. Really.

We got there by bus, to Bulle, and then by train from Bulle to Gruyere. Gruyere's very countryside-ish, something you'll never get in Singapore.





We entered the cheese factory, and our ticket was a packet of cheese. The cheese is NOTHING like our kraft cheese, which really isn't cheese, CHEESE actually. It was blearghhhh.



Not my cup of tea, really. There were like 3 huge chunks.. 6months, 8 months and 10 months.. I tried the 6 months one and the taste was really strong, so I didn't dare try the 8 and 10 month one. Haha!

Saw this really freaky looking cafe. Eww.



We walked up to Chateau Gruyere but kept stopping to take photos because the place was just too beautiful.








Yu Shan told me to take a photo of her. And Adi just hopped in, uninvited. Her facial expression is priceless.









and finally, we reach Chateau Gruyere.



THEN! After walking around Chateau Gruyere, michael and antje gave us a treat to the authentic Swiss meringues and DOUBLE CREAM.




Check out Adi's orgasmic expression, haha.

I swear to you, it was the bestestestestestest thing you can ever eat in your entire life. Yeah, it'll clog up your arteries but hey, who cares man, I'm in Switzerland.

Anyhoos, its way past midnight now and I just got back from a totally great dinner at Mdm De Dardel's place.

Mdm De Dardel is the head of the University of Fribourg's International Relations Office and she's been like our mother here. She ferried us to her house in her HUGE Volvo XC90 7-Seater.



We could see her house from the bridge, and from there it looked awesome, the kind shrouded by greenery... But when we got into her driveway, her house looked 932879832498237 times more magnificent.



She has a frickin pool lah! Her house is totally a dream home lah.















Ok time to sleep!
