Daffnee

Spent Saturday at the Palais again, in the hopes that the Committee would get to the "Social Health Insurance" and "eHealth" resolutions -- which they didn't. I was treated to 4 hours on each country's stance on breastfeeding and powdered infant formual instead. More positively, much reading on the African Charter and writing of postcards was done.



L to R: Me in my office; my office's only redeeming feature; inside the Palais des Nations; and the Palais exterior.

I finally had a day off and slept in until 11 AM, after which I hung on at the Museum of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Society. They were clever and put in the basement for appropriately gloomy effect.



L to R: Missing persons' files from WWI; moi; WWI-era postcard; courtyard; and some modern art commemorating some human tragedy or another. They also have Charles de Gaulle's POW record there, which I thought was kind of neat.

So, thoughts on Geneva so far: clean. Great transit. Clean. Europeans drink inadequate amounts of hard liquor and too much wine. Things closing at 6 PM still rather annoying. Lots of German interns. Weirdly large number of people from Canada (and Vancouver, especially). Expensive.

The next project, of course, is to get thoughts on other European cities in due time too. =)
