nihil fit sine causa: I love this city

I love this city

And while I'm discovering the little corners and places around Zurich that are not about LV-bags or big cars or self-conscious "Szenies" (hm, how to translate that, maybe hipsters?) C. posts this link on fb about the website (and the blog) of a genevan girl that collects cute shops, cafés or other places and presents them by neighbourhood. Makes me miss Geneva a lot, places like "La Sixième Heure" a café/secondhand furniture shop where you can have an old-style hot chocolate and then buy the cup if you like it, or the chair you're sitting on. Or "Les Recyclables", a secondhand bookstore where I love to browse through the english-section and then start reading the book I bought while having coffee and homemade cakes... awwww... I think I have a goal for the next three months, start discovering places I like in Zurich, be it like them or different, be it about the people or the environment or the objects.

I just spent a huge part of the last weekend at La Sixième Heure, with Chiara ! And she even bought a lamp there, hehe. I would have gotten the table, but currently CHF 700.- is a bit pricey :-)

a quote:

"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all" - Leo Rosten

libro de caras:

: Name: sarita; Location: Switzerland

THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, back home after having travelled a little bit of this world, curious and awake, enjoying every breath I take and the moments that take my breath away. I LIKE: my family, cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, connecting with people, experiencing other cultures, going out of my comfort zone, playing around with html, other people's trust, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, tea with honey, acting on my gut feeling, early mornings and late nights, talking to friends and living life consciously I DON'T LIKE: if you don't remember me, coca-cola, feeling inefficient, confrontation, lost opportunities, zero-sum games.
