This fun little trip taught me two things -
1: Hospitals here are clean and efficient - like most German observations - which I love.
2: Don't deal with a male doctors here over about 40 - they are WAY too old school with no bedside manner. Couple this with their strange "women are the weaker sex" and "hand washing is for pansies" attitude, and you have one very unpleasant experience.
After a week in bed, no language learning and bad moods, I emerged from the house to find its been snowing all week, there is snow on the mountains next to the city and finally, some of it has stuck to the ground in town making it all look that much prettier.
And the snow pours down
Whilst in my recovery state and spending probably to much time on the internet, I was super excited to find out that we live in a city that is rated #2 in Trip Advisors Best Destinations in the World!

I know those of you who have visited here and come over for work (looking at you Vancouver-ites) think this is madness, but let me have my little moment of pleasure that I'm living in a pretty cool city (I tell my self whilst its -4 outside).
