Bank rage

Grrrrrrr,

I've been at the bank today, and that is enough reason to be grumpy and annoyed all evening.... My agression against banks started in Canada where I couldn't get a normal bank account with a creditcard.... My experiences in Switzerland aren't much better.... I do have a creditcard now but my limit is so low that I probably won't be able to pay for food AND a hotel in Hong Kong. On top of that, for a CHF 1000 limit (About CAN$ 1000) I have to have CHF 1100 blocked on a savingsaccount with hardly any interest!!! So, what's the point of a CREDIT card if I have to give the bank more money than my limit!!! It just doesn't seem fair !!!!

Well, I have asked to have my limit increased (without having more money blocked). We'll see......

Bundle of health?

Hi all,

I haven't really been a bundle of health the last week. I've been coughing, having a sore throat, covered in red spots and I've had some migraine attacks.

Today I am feeling much better, but I am taking it easy this weekend, no going out to bars, and no skiing this weekend. I did go jogging yesterday to get some fresh air, but only very easy... I did go skiing twice during last week, so I am not missing out too much.

My dad was here last week to improve his skiing skills. In a week and a half he'll be here again, but only for a long weekend. Well, with EasyJet having such great deals, why not?

Not that much exciting happened las week. Tuesday I took the afternoon off to go skiing with my dad, and on Wednesday we had ski-day with our group. That was good :) It is quite nice to ski during the week, not as many people as during the weekend. The snow is pretty good, but still not enough. At the end of the day alls the snow has been scraped down the moutain leaving very smooth and hard pistes with very little grip :( I still have some hope that it will snow again. The slopes are pretty green already...
Yesterday and today the Nordic Worldcup is taking place in Davos. I haven't been there to watch, but did watch it on TV. The race is over one of my favorite loipes, and it is fun to see them go over it so much quicker :) Yesterday I witnessed the first Swiss victory ever :) Toni Livers and Vincent Vittoz ended ex equo in first place. Which is amazing considering the race is over 15 km, and they all start individually with some time in between them (Like in Time trial cycling). It takes them about 35 minutes to finish, pretty fast!!

I almost forgot to tell the most exciting news :) I have a poster at ISSLS!!! Which means that I will probably go to Hong Kong this June :)
