The following is a bulleted summary of our first day in Zurich. For Zurich pictures, click here.
6/4
- Spent almost 2 hours getting to the office; Google Maps leaves something to be desired; made Josh escort me on the path to/from the office more than once to ensure I could find my way after he left
- Office is awesome: fish tanks and massage chairs, spotless cafe with industrial-strength juicer, slide and firemen's pole for expedited intra-office travel
- Girls at the office bought delicate cookies for me as a welcome present
- Ran into two Mountain View co-workers unexpectedly, which was a nice surprise
- Apartment is wonderful, especially because I got upgraded for free (the person staying in "my" apartment extended his contract); the washer-and-dryer-in-one is appreciated but takes forever
- Am trying not to be scared about the prospect of being by myself, especially when navigating the public transportation system of trams and trains
- Have never before so keenly felt that I come from a car culture
- Saturday morning got a noise complaint, which we later discovered couldn't have been caused by me because the disturbances started before I checked in; but seriously, on a Friday night?!
