Geneva Return...

I would think that Geneva is the most frequent country that I came to attend the meetings. If I'm not mistaken, this is my 4 or 5th Geneva trip. Geneva is the home of international meetings, co-ordinations, facilitation and what have you.. and Geneva being in Switzerland is always considered as a planet of its own. A planet who does not take sides. That's this land has been witnessing the agreement and disagreement of just about everything the world is fighting for... Although United Nations has now move its meeting to New York the UN still has its operations here...So that's about Geneva. Attending this meeting does not really permit me to write much because too many parallel mtgs and you have to pay attention if you want to benefit from it....Or you can just ignore the fights.. but you would miss the interesting things about coming here. So I chose to involved..

I arrived here Sunday 24 Jan 2012, and still stayed at the same hotel I've been staying for the last decade plus or so.. Many changes has happened from a 3 star to somewhat (too small compare to its 3 star era) 5 star of Royal Manotel.. But I love this hotel because of its location and cooking facilities and that's the only reason I came back to the same hotel.

Small hallway too my room, space is precious in the highest-cost-of-living-city-Geneva

My study desk that I will eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner plus doing my work for 2 weeks here

Tempat Beradu Maharani - Small but cozy


All those frames is so classic, you feel like you are living in old mansion

this is real fresh flowers you know...its beautifully arrange and stay fresh throughout my stay
So this is the hotel I'm staying for 2 weeks, going in and out. Not too far from ITU, the meeting place. Just take tram no 15 stop infront of Hotel Royal Manotel, stop name Butini, then ITU is next 3 stops, just drop at station Sismondi. Easy and efficient..

Wait for my next post..cos first week is full of meetings, I didnt go anywhere. Meeting finish at 530pm, which is equivalent to Maghrib time.. So no where to go really with shops closing st 6pm some at 7 pm...
