Onto Basel

On friday, I left early at 4 pm to go to Buli-dis place at Basel. It is a 2-hour journey, and having to change the train once after an hour at Bien. The train was waiting right on the opposite platform though, and it was no hassle at all. This is how the clockwork Swiss Rail works - connecting very conviniently. The other day, the metro I take to go to school came a couple of minutes late. Very surprising considering the clock-work precision of
everything here. Sure enough, the problem was with my watch - it was two minutes too fast.
Very excited to be seeing Bulidi, Prithda and their little kid Parthiv (who I was seeing for the first time). Got a cool remote car and some funky American clothes for him. Hope it fits him. 18 months for American kids might be too big for Indian kids though.
