Citizen of the world

I've been here a week and I'm pretty sure the only legitimate Swiss person I've met is a guy I used to work with in Toronto.

Maybe once you get out of the vicinity of the building with all the flags and into the countryside, you'll find more yodeling and lederhosen. But this place is a magnet for people from all over the world.

Today a guy from West Africa stopped me to take his picture in front of the Jet D'Eau. You could tell he was as pumped by the whole thing as I was.

Stuff gets done here. Important stuff. And it's pretty cool to be even a tiny part in it. I think we both felt it.

I'm in awe of you. I want to be you when I grow up.
