life in switzerland

Sudenly I realized this is already my 3rd week here! wow time flies here! Last monday my first IBM lessons started, the management subjects seam to be ok...but I will tell you after the exams in january;-)
yesterday I had my first spanisch lessons, and the funny thing was...the teacher doesnt speak any english, only german and spanish! Fortunatly the other students were able to translate the german into engllish for us...but that makes it not easy to learn a new language, since my mother tongue is still dutch, thats 4 languages at the same time...a little bit confusing sometimes!
Last week somebody told me that you also nead a Vignet on your bike (like the autobahn vignet) so first I was laughing and said; yeah sure! but today somebody else said the same...so I went to the postoffice to ask, and its true! Here in Switzerland you need a Vignet on your bike! ok it only costs 7 francs...but still its crazy!!
Tonight we have a drink with all exchange students in Basel, in one of the highest buildings of Basel! Oh here is a picture of the house I live in..














Ciao for now!
