[quote][b]Johan (Jul 03, 2001 06:48 a.m.):[/b] Sorry about that. I had no idea that you would actually want to send me anything, but I'll get on that right away. In re the bubbly beverage, well, I've got bad news. The US has these draconian laws whereby a body isn't allowed to send booze back from ferrin parts. Damn them. And I'm becoming such a wine snob, too. If it makes you feel any better, Geneva was freaking awesome, and I took lots of pictures and got some good, cheap Swiss souvenirs. Dirty postcards, too. We ate dinner at a FIVE STAR HOTEL on Sunday, and it was absolutely positively the best meal of my entire life, amen. We started the meal with an entree; I order the 17SF (about 11 dollars) escargot. There were six of them, each in their own little pool of garlic-buttery sauce. Each one was like a little bite of heaven. Orgasmic, even. I shit you not, they were amazing. Took me twenty minutes to eat them all because I couldn't stand to see them go. With that course, we had a bottle of the crap wine, sadly (note to all: a good indicator that your wine is crap-wine is when it comes in a bottle with a twist-off cap, and the waiter doesn't even ask if you want to taste it. Never a good thing.). Anyways. That was followed by the main course (breaded veal, green beans and pommes frites) and a demi-bottle of their second most expensive Bordeaux red. It was delicious. Fan-tas-tic. You take a sip of wine then a bite of veal and - again, I shit you not - it's like an explosion of flavor; a taste sensation. Whoever says that a good bottle of wine doesn't add to a meal is talking straight out of their ass. Desert was coffee and creme brulee, caramelized to perfection. It tasted like I was eating a cloud of the most heavenly sugar. I could only take little bird-bites because anything more and I would have passed out from the wonderfulness of it all. I get all drooly just thinking about it. The rest of the city was pretty nice, too, I guess. ~~~~ Dammit, I wish I had AIM. This particular medium just doesn't lend itself to criticism, b'god. ~~~~ Tomorrow is the fourth of July. All the Americans are congregating, appropriately enough, in our favorite Irish bar, where Bud will be selling for 10F ($1.50). Should be a fun time, especially considering class starts at 0830 on Thursday. heheheheheh. Amsterdam next weekend? Whaddya think? Most Americans want to go, but I'm open to suggestions.[/quote]
