No titled..

Some says that there would be a day (or more) in life that you feel down. I think I feel that so these days, no reason but just frustrated of things that couldn't be done in a way you want. Of course, starting everything new when you're late 30s does make you feel this way...My problem is that my brain never stop working and it keeps thinking and wanting to do things when these things take times. Even if I realized that but you got stuck with your mind. Thats why people is sick , oh no, I hope I won't be sick like that..:) I now understand when people has problem, I think they try to solve their problem but sometimes life is hard..I think I am having that hard time myself. Language as a barrier here first of all, and I really miss things at home, friends, city. But eventho I tried so much to enjoy myself, and I did but thing is missing, a lively place that no where could replace home..No I am not homesick, but I realized the differences. I stopped wondering why people move back home when they get older, I think I would surely be one of them..in the meantime, life has to go on..

Bienvenue au printemps

Last weekend, Steve and I walked in Orbe, where his parents lived and where he lived before. We walked through this small street called Rue des Moulinet. I captured this shot with a perfect ray of light. Really love it and just wanted to share it here..

Learning French at UniNE.

I didn't have time to update my blog these days. In fact, I started my French course at UniNE (Université de Neuchâtel), The Institute of French language and Culture ) in Switzerland. First I heard about this course from the wife of my husband's friend. She is American and she attended this course and she actually speaks fluently in French now. And that was the reason I submitted my profile with the university and they accepted. We've checked with Lausanne University as well but they seems to have only the course for their regular students and only a few weeks intensive course in February.

After a month, I felt a bit better altho I don't really speak yet. But I sort of absorbing a lot of information and what I hear in classes. I hope it will be better. To go there in Neuchâtel from home is a bit complicated but we figured it out how to make it. I have to drive from Montcherand to Yverdon (the full name of this city is "Yverdon-les-bains") and take a train from there to Neuchâtel. It's easy this way. I can also walk from the train station in Neuchâtel right to my building of the university where I study now.

One good thing is that I've met many interesting people from around the world. The director told us students on the first day that this program has already welcome students from over 40 countries around the world. That sounds interesting.

I think it's a good program and if anybody is interesting in this course you could always check out their website here.

My condolence to the people of Japan..

I didn't really believe when I heard about Tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011. My friend called me from Thailand when I just woke up here in Switzerland. I was really worried about my best Japanese friend in Japan, she lives near Yokohama, south of Tokyo. She is pragnant also and I tried to contact her but thought that all the communication and transportation were cut off from the earthquake. She got my email and called me on Saturday morning and I was so relieved... But she told me that she got stuck in Yokohama for 12 hours and finally managed to have her family picked her and her husband back home.

But I still feel scared and sad for the victims, they have to lose their family, their loved one, their home and so on. I watched the interview of one survival, she mentioned that she wasn't sure if she was lucky to be alive....

It happens too often these days, a couple of years back the Tsunami in Asia (Thailand, Indonesia etc got a huge impact), not long ago the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand and a few days ago the Tsunami in Japan..

Or this is the sign of something..I cannot stop wondering..
