Hop Schweiiz!

I'm am told that Geneva is a subdued, even boring town located at the foot of a mountain range next to a pristine lake in central Europe. I've been here for a week and I do not know the Geneva these people describe. This place is crazy. It may have something to do with Switzerland advancing to the second round of the World Cup for the first time in forever. Last night I watched the game against S. Korea in a city square on a big screen with thousands of my new, cow bell-ringing, Swiss (or Suisse or Schweiiz depending on which language you are speaking) friends. Yes, these people will never need more cow bell. As evidence, I shot video of the aftermath just off the square. Needless to say, it quickly became a sillyass Swiss dance party... (sound fun, huh)



More pictures of me and the crazy Swiss can be found at nickgoesswiss.dell.shutterfly.com

I bet it was a different scene today after losing in penalty kicks.

Yes, way less honking, now we just have to deal with the French, Portuguese and Brazilians being a-holes. Especially the French.
