Je suis en Suisse.

Sorry to have neglected the blog for a couple of weeks. The office has been busy, and the competition I'm working on in South Africa is a monster. Originally I was supposed to work on an icelandic park project, but apparently the prize money was nothing compared to the Southbank, South Africa project. Instead of working on Bjork's homeland, I'm working on a sustainable community development project for 1000 units of housing within 100 hectares of fallow and agricultural land. It's a crazy urban design project sponsored by a private company which I think is more interested in residential development and profit than the well being of the future residents, but, hey it's interesting nonetheless...

During the weekends, I manage to get some free hours to roam the landscapes of the Swiss pre-Alps. Last weekend all of the interns went on a 7-hour hike to get a view from the top of one of the mountains down to the village and to the real Alps. The landscape here is so incredibly beautiful and peaceful...I've never been felt so at ease. I miss you all, but I think I will be a bit sad to leave Suisse.

Anyways, here's a photo of one of the beautiful spots we stopped at during our hike...

Ciao for now!
