Has it really been 1 month and 1 week???

well the anniversary for me being in switzerland was celebrated in another country called leitchenstein. it is in between switzerland and austria and lucille told me it is only 6 km wide!! that is believable becuase we went to a museum while we were there and they said the whole country only has 30 000 people!
the capital city was vaduz and to be honest i just wanted to get my passport stamped which cost 2chf. we spent the day wandering around, climbed up a hill to go to the princes house (and we saw him!!), had lunch, hung out in a cafe and got all the touristy stuff like post cards for our scrapbooks.. which i am yet to start because i am looking for a book.
the day was nice with svetlanna, lauren, lacey, lucille and myself. i really get along well with lucille and she is great at organising trips. it will be sad to see her go home on december 3rd.
today was also the confirmation that i am going to prague with jai jai. i just need to book a flight now and see whats the cheapest. we are going to go for 4 days and probably stay in a hostel. catherine offered to buy it for me as a christmas present with her frequent flyers but i said i will save that gift for later on when all my money will have run out....
i also got my parcel from mum and diana which i am gradually opening to see what is in it!! it is really exciting so i am taking my time with it - consequently my room looks like there was a small cyclone in it but dont worry mum i keep it really tidy the rest of the time!!!
nothing much else to report except that i really like it over here. my weekends are always busy and even though i am really bad at my german class it is fun to go so i can leave my house early and then my friends and i always go to coffee afterwards which really breaks up the week.
last weekend i also went to a fondu restaurant with jenny and her friends. the restaurant STANK of burnt cheese but it is a really social event as everyone is gathered around a big pot of chesse and stirring it (in a figure 8) and chatting. not only do you dip in bread you also get pickled onions, gerkins, baby corn, mini potatoes or you can have a meat fondu which is where you get raw meat and have to cook it in a pot of stock. they are both really nice but the restaurant was really expensive. i like it when we do it at home. its cheap and you dont have to enhale the lingering cheezy smell!
so all in all life is good. yea i work way too many hours and i feel like there is not enough time in the day - especially when i get paid a massive 200chf a week but catherine complimented me today saying she is really happy with my progress and the kids love me!
i am getting all my sightseeing done in the weekend anyway so i am happy with the arrangement at the moment and look forward to more travelling.
as i have to take holidays from 11-25th of december i also have to start planning that trip. lucy and i spoke on skype on saturday and she confirmed that she is going to come over and we will go to italy together. not sure what dates i am going to meet with the buckinghams but i would love to spend christmas with them if possible but nothing is really organised yet so we will have to wait and see.
well i better stop and start my german homework. tomorrow i have to go to the dentist AGAIN so i can get more stiches in my mouth so i have to do my homework now :-(
ciao for now.
