As soon as I reached Bern, I felt familiar. I wonder what brings a sense of familiarity in a new place. I felt the same when I visited Antwerp even though I visited it for the first time. As soon as I reached Bern, I looked at the address, the swiss german script and found my way to the new home. On my way, I found a saloon and wished to have a hair cut. He speaks swiss german, I speak english. The french I learnt was futile in the swiss german land. Through a sign language, I had my hair cut. Satisfied, I walked ahead and found the apartment #67. I was given a note on how to arrive at the apartment. A few acts, I'm in the apartment and felt home. Kristine, Volo, Chagai, Nancy welcomed me and the place reminds me of a hostel.
A few minutes into the place, I felt familiar. A little walk with Kristine, I continued my walk out of this place and found a gelato shop and had an intense chocolate flavour.
I continued my walk and got lost in the woods. A walk in and around, I ended up at the pool.
After a long walk, I sat at the station and went to temple. I am amused by the way they recreate the culture. They have a closed space and recreate the eelam culture. They have srilanka model in which Lingam is placed. I'm amused by the way they recreated. Women were doing the harathi and it's interesting how people transfer rituals, values even though they're displaced to a far land. I walked from there and wrote a journal and went to church and found a lot of doors interesting.
Wei wei, a spontaneous hiker speaks 6 languages, from malaysia. Speaks cantonese, malay, spanish, english, chinese, mandarin. Liki is from Belgium and wants to work in the french speaking Switzerland. The other vietnamese couple walked in and over a conversation, learnt two vietnamese words- Kamun- Thanks, Emmai- Dear younger one, darling.
