Our "Bukit Shahbandar"

This morning I took the kids to a forest trail in Versoix which is a village away from ours. As today is a public holiday, we would have two sundays which means we would have two days of shops closing. It can be very daunting finding of what we can do with the kids with two days of no shops opening. The jungle trek has a small stream running across the little patch of forest which is a rarity in Geneva considering that the outskirts of the city is mainly made up of farmland. I must say it reminded us of Bukit Shahbandar a very popular area for jungle trekking just minutes away from the capital.

LGB Orchestra and choir Night

Nizam participated in the school choir for the first time. He looked shy probably because he never did this before and singing was not exactly his forte. He asked me how he did and I told him he was ok. I wouldn't want to discourage him..

Sleepy in Istanbul

I'm at the business lounge at Istanbul Airport now...

Beautiful Lausanne

We keep coming back to Lausanne. I really cant stop admiring how stunningly beautiful Lausanne is especially when the sun is out. This city for the students is living up to its reputation as being hip. We can feel the energy come to life when you see men and women in their 70s roller blading mingling in the crowd of students. My kids love the place and thankfully its less than an hour drive from Geneva.
