Day Four

So we have arrived and we are staring to get our bearings and a handle on our new situation.
On monday morning we meet all the other erasmus students, their are thirteen of us in total, from Spain, Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Zurich. We quickly learn that this week is essentially a holiday, and we have time to roam the city, we set about planning our week, we are urged to take in the mountains before all of the snow melts.
The best thing about today is moving into our new apartment, after only three days of living in hotels I'm already tired of them (fantastic traveller that I am). But as it turns out, the wait has been worth it. Our apartment is situated in a university building in the centre of town. We have a top floor apartment. Past five and at the weekends the whole building is ours, there is a courtyard bellow with a fountain, up three flights of steps and you're in our house. Light airy spacious, every room is clean and bright , we have a roof terrace with views of Pilatus (the biggest mountain) and of Gutsch a white castle (rumoured to almost have been bought up by Michael Jackson). Its a fantastic apartment. The four of us Hiromi, Ben, Mariann(hungarian student) and myself.
