Zürich. Back in my brothers’ apartment after acting holiday sunbathers in a place nearby Wipkingen, Letten it’s called. This day has been my first beach holiday day this year. Kind of nice actually. Burnt my ass though. Been laughing a lot. Had ice cream. Now we’re just waiting for my brother to get home from work, and we’ll see what fun we can come up with for the night.

I have been here since Monday evening when the train arrived at 23.20 to Zürich HB and I stepped off the train to in order to jump into the safe arms of my brother, then my mom, my dad and my brothers girl. After the hospital visit it was kind of nice to be taken care of by my family. Just miss my sister.

Been writing to Á after I came here, we’re talking about everything and how much fun we had together.

My brother is working a lot this week and I and his girl, T, are hanging out during the days. Slow days in the sun and I am truly on a health trip to Zürich. Directly from a hospital to a sunny Zürich where I am eating healthy, going for power-walks and getting tanned. No alcohol yet. My last 500mg of antibiotics tonight.

On Tuesday we hung out with my parent's and walked around in Zürich in the sun, had lunch, had coffee, walked, went shopping, back to my parents hotel room and then dinner to celebrate my brothers b-day. He choose a completely vegetarian restaurant (I think it was something he wanted to show me). It was really cool and the food was amazing. Hiltl. I couldn’t have been happier.

 



On Wednesday me and T went on a morning walk. Both woke up when my brother was going to work. I could not sleep and I had been working until late and had a lot of stuff in my head. Me and T had breakfast and went to the Museum für Gestaltung, where they right now have two photo exhibitions, René Burri and Martin Parr. René Burri is the photographer that took the famous picture of the cigar smoking Ché Guevara and Martin Parr is a British documentary photographer. Really nice exhibitions, but the place was hot as hell and we couldn’t bring our water bottles. I really did enjoy the exhibitions despite the heat.

In the evening we went to play the Swedish game “Brännboll” with some of my brothers friends and colleagues. BBQ and games, fun night. Then home and sleep.

Thursday we went in to town and had our day of shopping. Bikinis and sandals. Needed it. But I think I should put the shopping lid on now. Can’t afford to spend money on shopping, need to spend it on food, and I can’t bring it all with me. Have a heavy enough bag already. After shopping we went to the water near where day live and sunbathed and dipped our bodies in the water. Went home and my brother stopped working and we had homemade pizza. Yummie. Loads of stuff on it.

Finally sent my CV to a company in Berlin, we’ll see. I need to finish one of two project plans and book some meetings and keep on planning for the fall. Working vacation. Business and leisure.

I am almost getting to understand Swiss German. Almost. Been listening to people talk, sounds crazy.
Time for a shower.
