Montreux Noël Medieval Market!

Last year I found out about this a tad too late, this year I managed to finally pay a visit to the Medieval Market in Montreux, at the Chillon castle. The market itself wasn’t much, it was just stalls here and there spread inside the castle. But the staff were dressed like elves, and the castle was beautiful.

Afterwards we walked from Chillon to Montreux, around lake Geneva…. this was simply lovely. After arriving to Montreux, we also paid a visit to the huge Christmas market in the centre of the city. Huge, and covered with chocolate and gingerbread for the most part. 😉

Pictures here.

First Time In Konstanz [Germany]

A couple of weekends ago Cristina drove us to Konstanz for a 1 day trip, to see the city and meet a friend of hers. It was my first time in Konstanz and I wanted to take a lot of pictures, but unfortunately the terrible weather and all the rain and fog, made for a collection of horribly gray pictures. =P

Nonetheless, the trip itself was a lot of fun and we had a great time. =)

Üetliberg

And, I’ve uploaded the pictures from our trip to Üetliberg couple of weeks ago. It was a heavily foggy day and not much could be seen, but at least the group photo turned out well. =)

Album here.

Aarau

Continuing tonight’s share of sorting through pictures, I’ve finally uploaded a few pictures of Aarau and around the new flat we just moved to. It’s very few for now, but I’ll add more pictures soon. Pictures from inside the flat will of course happen once I’ve actually managed to unpack, which is proving quite challenging with the amount of busy I currently am. =P Here’s the album.

So far I’m completely loving Aarau. The city has parts like Toronto and parts like Solothurn. The flat is in a high-rise building some minutes away from the more “metropole” looking center of the city, and believe it or not right in the middle of a jungle/park area. Right on the north of our building block the serious green starts, and the river is about 2 minutes away on foot. It’s a very unusual setting altogether. =)

  • Pictures of the August 1st Celebrations

    So it took a tad long for me to sort through the load of photos me and Genox took from the Swiss National Day [1st of August] fireworks. But it’s finally done, and you can check out a selection here in this album.

    It was a quite a lovely day, starting with a good load of BBQ and ending with possibly the most exquisite fire works I’ve ever seen up close. And I’m not putting that lightly. We were on the top of a heal in Niederwil, so that we had a good view to all the surrounding houses and farms. It seems like the people of Switzerland make it very much their personal business [and not necessarily a government responsibility, as it is often the case in Canada for instance] to make the 1st of August celebrations as shiny as possible. Basically, every single house in the vicinity had their own fireworks, some of which were really really amazing. So imagine standing on a top of heal, in the middle of a circle of fireworks, quite a few of which put the Y2K fireworks to shame. Huge colourful glow raining on you from all directions. You try to catch everything with your eyes… and more than a few times I came very close to falling down backwards… It was completely insane and truly awesome.

    Mickey Mouse MP3 Player

    Silly little thing I recently fell in love with, and purchased from eBay… ah… I just had to show you this! =D I’m not really into iPods or other advanced MP3 players since I usually simply use my Palm for my portable music needs. But I also felt the need for something extra small and lightweight to run around with easily [and no, I didn’t consider iPod shuffle. I don’t like Apple hardware at all, honestly.] … and here it is. Introducing, my cute little Mickey player from Walt Disney. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee it’s so cute! =D

     
    This is actually the night we went to see Avatar. It was snowing like MAD! =P

    Paparazzi…. [As in, more photos! =P ]

    Paparazzi doesn’t leave me alone even when I’m taking a break and checking my emails. =PP Just uploaded some more photos here in this album, including a few from the “Disfigured” painting exhibition, which features painting by my cousin Abbas Rizvi.
