Ok, the post title isn’t that fair, Li does actually live in Lausanne (which is in Switzerland). But she does speak French!
Anyway, last week I had my final exams for this exam period, and I had the sudden freedom of having a week-long holiday. As it turned out, some of my currently-studying-in-french-speaking-contries classmates from LiU [...]

We landed ahead of schedule in Zürich-Kloten, and after I had reclaimed my baggage [...]

Four years ago I sat down at my computer and browsed for an education. An idea was born. Now I sit at my desk with a thick envelope. Inside there are brochures about Zürich. Maps. A handbook for international students. “We wish to confirm that [...] has been accepted by ETH Zürich”. Semester dates.

The planning for this autumn in Switzerland has begun! Two weeks ago I was nominated for exchange studies at the ETH Zürich, and last week I completed the formal application that was sent to Switzerland.

During the Easter holiday I travelled with my friend Christopher to the beautiful country of Switzerland. I had not been there for several years now, in the late nineties I and my family used to visit this our old home every few years or so. Since I now am studying to become a M.Sc. combined [...]
