Nicole is handling the transition to Switzerland very well. She goes to the grocery store everyday for about 2 hours, and always comes back all giddy about the new things she found or figured out. She is in heaven here with all of the cheeses, creams, chocolates, and pastries. She bought some coffee at our corner cafe a few days ago, and was surprised to see that the cup of coffee came with a small chocolate. Nicole proceeded to unwrap her chocolate and drop it in the coffee, a sight which caused most of the patrons in the coffee shop to look at her like she had three heads. They don't have mocha's here, but Nicole is proving to be a master of adaptation.
Some of the things that aren't going as well for Nicole include:
1. French (Nicole usually says "si" when someone speaks to her in French, followed rapidly by a "oui". Its almost as if she created a new word - "si-oui" which could eventually lead to world peace as everyone laughs hysterically at her after she says it.)
2. Mason's attitude problem
3. Tight jeans are popular here ("I guess its okay that my jeans are tight on my butt then, right?")
4. Jet-lag. Nicole likes to go to bed at 1:30 a.m and get up at 11:00 a.m.
5. No sour cream. ("I've looked everywhere.")
