Swiss Princess Selina.
I will be in Liverpool in less than a week and I can't wait to get over to the U.K.
Here is a short life update: Friday December 3rd went to a company Christmas party with my friend Boris. The kind of company that gives all their employees, and their employees' guests ipods as a Christmas gift. 5th generation nanos all wrapped and sitting on a table up for grabs as if they were boring goodie bags. Score! (I thought about sliding a few extra into my purse, but then I thought about karma.)
Friday December 10th went to farewell dinner for my beautiful friend Elyse Van Herk. Just her and I took the train to Zurich and after perusing the Christmas market for camel figurines, spontaneously decided on a pub called 'The Lion'. Quite the classy place despite the name, honest. We drank and ate and talked about Elyse's 7 month backpacking adventure through Asia. Thailand was her favorite place. I MUST visit Nick and Lisa! Elyse talked it up so much. She also spent a lot of time in Australia, New Zealand and India. She's moving back home to Canada for a while and will be back in Europe in mid March. Only this time she'll be living in Holland :( So we had to have a goodbye weekend.
After dinner we went to a hostel bar in Zurich called Zic Zac. So much fun! Hostels are great in general, of course, because you are meeting people from all over the world. So a really happening hostel bar peaked my interest and it ended up being a great time. I'm going back very soon.
If you're looking for a good Christmas movie watch 'Love Actually.' It's a perfect movie any time of the year but especially great during the Holidays. Watch!
I feel like I'm going to have a 'Love Actually' feeling this Christmas, seeing that I'll be in England, not to mention with a gorgeously handsome, charming, british man; Oliver Jones, whom in no way asked me to describe him using those adjectives.
I hope you all have the best Christmas! I'm sure London will be spectacular and Oliver and I are going to have a blast in our Christmas sweaters at the pubs!
But if can borrow a quote from Dave Matthews for a moment, "turns out not where but who you're with that really matters." So enjoy your families, I'll be missing mine.
