First Impression: Turbulence….
UPDATE: Brig pics on my flickr (use the link on the right column to get there)
Hello everyone! I know I haven’t updated the blog in a while…mainly coz I was so busy preparing for the trip. Nevertheless, I am here, all well, and currently surfing from my new dorm room for the next few months….
Let me explain why the first impression of this place is a ‘turbulence’. To start with, I don’t know where Qatar Airways bought their 5-star airline award from but they may need to work some more to reach that stage. Honestly, who on earth allows only 1 suitcase with 20 kg limit to travel? UNBELIEVABLE!…A tip for the Qatar Aviation Service: Train your employees to be humble and smile might help! I wouldn’t go into details about this but yeaaahhh… 
Anyways, I got on the plane just fine. Had to go through the usual flight-to-US security check though…I’m glad they allowed me to keep my pants on :p The flight was alright until we entered the Swiss area. May I just say that I have never seen so much snow in my 4.5 years in Dallas 
. Right as I was enjoying the view, the plane decided to dance a little. The turbulence caused the plane to shake to the point where if I didn’t have my seatbelt on, I would have jumped out of the seat. Scary stuff, but thank God I made it through.
New area, new faces, new languages (yes, more than one language….2 or 3 new languages). I made it on the train towards Brig….the scenery was just amazing. Mountains with snow, Lakes, old school buildings….definitely different than the usual for me . I got to Brig around 7pm on the 1st, made my way to the hotel, cleaned up a bit and took a walk around town for dinner….It’s just amazing! I will be uploading pics to prove ya’ll how amazing it is hehehehe… :p
Anyways, it is the 3rd…I went to the University Center this morning. Met up with the some student workers, program director, and the school director. Real nice people (good start!) Right now, I am updating this blog from the comfort of my new dorm room….small but cozy! ….It is almost 12pm and time to look for lunch…..I will be updating ya’ll regularly while I’m here and do wait for pics…
Take care everyone (wherever you are) and God bless….
