I'd like to share with you all the funny things I've observed in Geneva (this will probably be repetitive for those of you who have already been abroad).

• Cars do not always stop for you.
• Public transportation has the right of way, not pedestrians.
• There are a lot of smokers, especially young people, and they are not at all shy about getting very close to you while doing it.

• The Genevan people always look perfect, and many women still wear stilettos regardless of the snow and ice.
• The sidewalks are cleared of snowing using (what looks like) windshield cleaners.
