Happiness is having an empty bladder

BREAKING NEWS:
We're in love, but not just any love, true love backwards!

Hello World, 

Today we started off by going to the Freitag tower, a store of recycled bags made from old trucks. The actual store is also a bunch of freight containers stacked on top of each other, which you can then walk to the top of to see an awesome view of Zurich. We also checked out the garden next to it and saw some really innovative containers for growing plants (the garden is much more beautiful in the summer, but totally worth seeing now too). Then we walked through a bunch of cool streets and met up with Idalia's friend, Corinna, a flight attendant extraordinaire with the softest looking hair in town! 


Corinna showed us all around the city. We walked by the lake, in the old part of Zurich, and also by the university which had this great view:


We then got coffee with Corinna and discovered the newest, coolest thing: HAFER MILCH (aka oat milk). To kick your coffee up a notch, try Hafer Milk, a sweet and delicious milk substitute that will warm up your tummy! #oatmealandcoffeeinone #inagoodway #butactually 
Coming to the states soon...we hope. #dreamscancometrue #makeithappenamerica 

Spending time with Corinna was so great, we just couldn't say goodbye! So, after dinner with Idalia's Oma back at Ragadagadingsdorf, we headed back out to see her again, this time moving to a bar setting. She showed us two really cool bars. It was the first time for both of us seeing the Zurich night life, but we couldn't come back tooooo late since we had to make the last S-Bahn at 00.09. 

It was so nice seeing Corinna, hopefully it won't be too long until we see her again. Maybe next time in Las Vegas, California, or even Laos! 

Goodbye for the penultimate time (we know, we know, we're crying too).

Word of the Day:

Der Szeni: Hipster (in Zurich)

Es gibt viele Szenis in Zürich. All Szenis haben geil Fahrräder, eng Hosen, und große Brillen. Wenn man einer Szeni ist, man kann dass nicht sagen. Es gibt viele Szenis in Oberlin auch, aber das Wort "Szeni" ist nur in Zürich Deutsch. In Oberlin und Amerika, heißen Szenis "Hipsters."
