What I've learned in the Past 38 hours

  • Going to Target as Shelly Chicken is fun to do if you like getting A LOT of attention, applause and strange looks

  • Doing a show with David Chicken is a blast
  • Tearing your fingernail off down to the flesh while dealing with your heavy luggage in the middle of an airport HURTS and causes profound bleeding
  • Sitting on a plane for 10 hours sucks, but Swiss Immigration (10 seconds) ROCKS!
  • You can spot an American in a Swiss airport a mile away... sorry, a kilometer away
  • Apparently people think I'm American
  • When you go to pickup your luggage and are in the terminal train, there is a 3D girl in a dirndl blowing kisses and the train moos at odd intervals
  • There are street musicians and dogs inside buildings everywhere here (I totally forgot about that)
  • When you stop living in a country, apparently you stop being immune to the pollen that grows there and I haven't been able to see or breathe or stop sneezing since I got here
  • Swiss people "manicure" everything... exactly... to the milimeter... including gravel roads are perfectly straight and without as much as a bump or pot hole in it (disclaimer: I might be biased due to living in the opposite of this)
  • My Mom drives the coolest soft-top convertible DORK car there is and her "I don't feel like adhering to those white lines on the floor" way of driving still scares me to death

  • The Swiss color palate if completely different that that from the Caribbean
  • Visiting your 95 year old Opa really brings home the concept of mortality
  • Self service "cut your own flowers" fields on the side of the road, with a  bucket to put the money in are mind-boggling to me (from a US perspective)
  • My brother is a great Dad and my nephew fits right in with my crazy bunch of loony midgets and I just might have to talk my brother into moving to Anguilla
  • Going without any sleep for 36 hours makes you make no sense with using your wordesesin Schwiizerduetsch au no.... nevermind, going to bed now - Guet Nacht!
