Geneva aka: Genève, Genf

I’m seriously thinking about moving to this city, even though it’s hard to gain residency in that nation and get a job. Must brush up on my French!

visited with friend of Unilever, really enjoyed it.

My husband and I moved to Geneva as expats in late February, 2007. We lived here for a year and 1/2 (will be moving away next month). Geneva’s been great in that it’s a safe, easy city to get around with great public transit. It’s also perfectly located to get to explore Europe from here (especially with Easy Jet being based here). I’ve spent much time wandering around along Rue de Rive, along the lakeside, in Carouge, Plainpalais, etc. It may not be as exciting a city as, say, Paris, but it’s been a nice place to be.

The lake is beautiful – take a boat tour or just enjoy strolling alongside it. There were tons of expensive designer shops – we just looked at the window displays, it’s never a good sign when there are no price tags! My favourite sight was the Jet d’Eau fountain :)

Twice during the winter and once during summer. It’s cool but not too cold, sunny but never hot. Always ended up with good memories (always go there with good friends). Love the UN/ICRC. Still want to go back! I’m permanently attached. Enough said.
