Short day trip to Annemasse

mizarwen

All Brunei workers at Brunei Mission were given a 3-day Eid-Ul Fitri holiday starting from Sunday, 30th March in Geneva (a day earlier than in Brunei). I was happy that happened because I could enjoy the day with Mr. Hubby while my daughter at school 🙂

The plan was to have lunch at a ramen restaurant near the Swiss border between Switzerland and France called Yatta Ramen in Annemasse, France, after the gym. Maybe after that, we could take a look around.  Besides buying groceries at Carrefour, which is usually cheaper than buying in Switzerland, I can say that there isn’t much to see there. Due to the many road constructions taking place there, our exploration or small walk was limited.

Yatta Ramen, Annemasse

According to the restaurant manager, the construction will continue until next year because they want to build a tramway track from Geneva to that location. I guess that would be convenient for us. Perhaps after that, there will be more intriguing shops and restaurants, especially halal ones.

I only managed to capture a place that would be my next target to go here next time.

Bar à Chats

I have a fondness for cats, so I would be thrilled to go here. They seemed to have an affordable and tasty dish to try.

St. Joseph Church

We went home by train. If you already have a yearly pass, you only pay less than Sfr. 2 for a one-way ticket.

Winter and the Christmas Market

mizarwen

I hadn’t fully embraced the cool and rainy of the fall season yet winter was already here. I really didn’t expect it to come this sooner.

On 4/12/2023 morning the street was blanketed with snow.

The magical Christmas Market, ‘Chrismas at the Quay’ in Geneva opened from 16th November until 24th December 2023. We spent time seeing the market right after her therapy. What I remember is they usually held the venue in Bastian Park and two years ago, I think in Jardin Anglais but this year they changed next to Hotel D’Angleterre.

There were so many food trucks and kiosks but we didn’t venture into the food that night. We only bought Churros as our late snacks.

Since we are Muslims and we don’t celebrate the beautiful day that leaves me wondering what is your favorite part of Christmas? Would love to know that in the comment 🙂

Episode 11

Link to the new episode 11 is here.

Again, another week filled with priorities. It was the end of the summer vacation and as expected, things got back to normal as soon as the school opened on Monday. That said to be no more waking up later than 9am.

However, on the happy side, I registered as a gym member at Nonstop Gym and it has been more than a month since I started learning French online with a Swiss local tutor. It’s nice that she also knows how to speak Indonesian language, Bahasa (Bahasa and Brunei’s official language is Bahasa Melayu so both languages have some similarities) so to interact with her isn’t that awkward. She’s a chill person, so I’m happy I found a tutor like her.

Lately there has been a health concern around the household. So me and my husband try to do go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I also try to drink a gallon of water every day if not every other day just to hydrate and to fill up whenever I feel hungry again after a big meal. My goal is to avoid eating a large meal twice. So by doing this, I can at least lose weight and stay fit. Being a Webtoonist can be sedentary, which can be stressful, so I try to avoid living like that. I wish that you all find and do something that can relieve stress. Maybe, by reading my Webtoon can liven up your day today. Read my Webtoon here because the new episode is already up.😊
