from the land of chocolate, cheese and money

this is the first entry from zurich. I arrived here a week ago, although i dont have a very good grasp on time now, sometimes it feels like it was a month ago, sometimes like it was yesterday.
The city is very pretty, clean, and safe. the people, well i havent had much experience with the locals, but Ive read they are very closed to foregneirs and even xenophobic, but we'll see. Maybe we'll just make friends with other expatriates.
Its kinda cold already, and i beleive it will only get colder... i hope i get my winter clothes in the mail soon (Abril and Roberto will send them hopefully soon, hint hint).
Public trasnport is awesome, and we alredy bought 1 year passes for zone 10, which is the city of zurich, where we live. We just need to pay to travel outside this zone to go for example, to IKEA.
Food is very expensive here... well, everything is very expensive, but you notice it more with food, since its something you HAVE to buy. We're trying to manage our budget and figure out the less expensive options. Wine IS cheap, though... maybe we'll just be drunk all the time? haha.
We just visited the Zoo last sunday, it was very nice, lots of walking, and they have a great childrens section called Zoolino. We are planning on going to a museum this coming weekend, we'll see how it goes. Today was my first adventure on the bus by myself, nothing major, just hop on and off... but hey, it was a first!

As soon as we get internet at home, i will start posting pictures, so for now, just visualize Jazibe and Gerardo, very happy, eating Nutella crepes and reading (we have no TV, remember? and the nutella crepes? i made them today, mmmm).
all for now,

EN ESPANOL?
