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.

lovely…

Rich & organised!

Geneva is located in Switzerland, in Europe. This city is considered one of the top cities in the world because of its whether, in fact it’s quite good for Europe’s climate. In fact, in summer people can profit the lovely whether whereas in winter people can sky above the beautifuls mountains. Furthermore, people the are friendly and sociable. There are many entertainment and tourisctic places, like the united nations. In addition, there ate lots of beautiful garden to walk in. As environment is concerned, Geneva is one of the best in the world and as a result is the best as quality of life is concerned (ranking 2005). By the way, Geneva is a very clean city. Another important point to consider is the health, when I say this I am talking about the good hospitals. In addition, public transports are very efficient.This photo was taken from mambo1935 and it represents the Lac Léman.

Geneva is probably a cool city. One, you have the lac just in front of you so in summer you can go do skie on whater. In winter you may go to the mountains, see the snow and the skie. It is very cold so; but the houses are preperd to this cold. Althought, summers can be very hot. The transport is very good, with it bus, subway and etc. Geneva has great university, the best one is the physic class. Geneva has a lot of parcs, mainly around the lake. It is a big culture center, because a good part of the ONU is there, so a lot of events are organised there.
