On the ground
So I arrived in Lausanne and have started settling in. I'm living just a few metro stops from downtown, in an apartment with some other guys in my lab. Right now I'm battling a jet lag induced headache, and sitting in my office at the university catching up on the email. I spent the morning wandering around the city. Sundays in Lausanne seem to be pretty dead, populated mostly by groups of highschool kids wandering around near the train station, drinking cheap wine and yelling back and forth to each other. I guess you've got to do something. I was surprised that the movie theater was not even open... nothing happens on Sundays essentially. Everyone does all their shopping on Saturday; IKEA was packed yesterday.
I'm going to use this journal mostly for sporadic updates about what's going down here. I figure I ought to start re-establishing my internet presence; it's not like I'm all over 'the myspace' or anything like that.
