That's just sooo... cheesy!

Gruyères... home of the Gruyère cheese..

The best place to have fondue and raclette...

OMG, even looking back at the picture now, makes my mouth water!

Yummm...!

Whoops! I forgot about the butter I left near the raclette heater..
Raclette cheese... Drool... Drool...

Inside the HR Giger Bar... we met HR Giger himself.. the visual effects creator of the film "Alien".

I know this is gross, but... uhhh


When talking about pooping in the toilet, I've heard people say:
  • 'Oh man, why did I eat all of that Mexian food? I'm gonna have to take a huge dump, I'll be back in a week.'
  • 'Pinch a loaf'
  • 'Need to drop a log'
  • 'Oo-Oo' (baby talk)
  • 'Do a Number Two'
  • 'Launch a steamer'
  • 'Dropping off the kids in the pool' (thanks Sir Nosferatus)
  • 'Give birth to a politician'
  • And the best one, 'I need to free Nelson Mandela'
LOL

T-Rex's birthday trip to Milan

Team Ariana was in Milan over the weekend. We stayed at a colleague's residence.. This is the host, Toni... T-Rex's good friend... also Consul-General based in Milan... so that's HIS EXCELLENCY Mr. Toni to you hehe.. Very nice guy... We felt very much at home with his kind hospitality...

The awesome view from his balcony...

We played ping pong in the ballroom... Time to show some ninja skills :p

Lyon owh Lyon.










Halal KFC in Chambéry!

We went on a hunt for KFC in Chambéry, about an hour's drive from Geneva... We got lost for a while...

Hence I was in a terrible mood (sorry mum and dad - my period didn't help either) but finally a very nice guy led the right way with his car. I wanted to thank him but he left quickly (God please bless this man and his family, wherever he is... AMIN).

So we eventually found it... had a meal and took away a bucket of chicken wings!
