Bern wins hands down

I now know why Bern is the capital instead of Geneva... ITS INCREDIBLE! This weekend has been by far one of the best adventures I've had. Brace yourself...

So nine of us ventured out on a 2 hour trip to Bern for the annual Carnival that was happening this weekend. This is a pretty amazing event where everyone dresses up. (I was Lady Gaga, and by that, I mean I only had face paint with a black star over my eye.) There were different bands playing throughout the weekend; we heard the drums when we got of the station. There were different street vendors selling all types foods (we satisfied our burrito carvings). It was incredible to see everyone dressed up and see the different costumes. Even more, how everyone was sooo excited about the Carnival. Thanks to Steve, we met the most random people; it must have been the yellow hair and glasses. It was a pretty BALLER night and definitely suggest everyone to go at some point in life. It's nothing like what we have in America. Instead of balloons and floats, everyone was enthusiastic as they embrace this tradition. Here are some videos I took.







Now let me tell you about Bern. It's probably the prettiest city I have been to. I felt like I was on a movie set, expect it was real! The capital building was beautiful, though Emi and I might have rubbed bird poop off our jeans on one of the walls. It might have happened. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but stop me one day and I'll show you my pictures I took this weekend. Have I mention how friendly everyone is? Yea, and there a ton of people we met speak English which was a relief. But it's a been a habit to respond French. Good sign? We'll see.

Bern is definitely a place I want to go back. Geneva, you're gonna need to step up your game.
