CELEBRATING Christina's "Mother's Labor Day"

I'm happy because we managed to get all 5 Woos in Geneva together to celebrate Christina's Birthday this past Friday! We started off with dinner and drinks at the Bains de Paquis. The rain held off more or less, we made ourselves over to a fun bar where I drank lots of Boddington's, then onward to l'Usine where we danced the night away.

Walking home at 4:30, completely inebriated, I managed to have the most successful conversation in French with anyone on this trip so far. The random stranger was from Nice, into soccer, was heading across the bridge, etc. Possible language partner? Too bad he was trying to steal my wallet.

Criminality in Switzerland? Where it's illegal to own your own washing machine if you live in an apartment? Where it's forbidden to flush the toilet after 10pm? Say it ain't so.
