The bubble is building

My stuff arrived from Denmark on thursday. I have finally gotten it unpacked, so now I really feel settled in. I also got my bicycle, so now I can make the trip to the school in a little more than a minute if the traffic light on Avenue de Cour is green. Coming from little flat Denmark with no hill high enough to officially qualify as a mountain I find the steep roads of Lausanne deceiving. Let go of the break for a second and you find yourself blasting down the hill at tremendous speed. 

Most importantly my motorbike also arrived. It is now standing in the basement drained for water and gas. It is still way to cold too take it out for a spin. I can't wait for the spring to be here, so I can get my first cruise in the Swiss mountains. The coming month's schedule does not leave much time for cruising, but then again; time is always a matter of priority.

The class of 2009 officially 'inaugurated' the White Horse pub last night. A big 'Thank you!' goes to the class of 2008 for the gift that they left for us there!! For those readers who may not be familiar with the White Horse I can add that it is the regular watering hole for the IMD cattle. The staff there is very friendly and clearly used to the international clientele. Some students ventured off to other places after the White Horse closed. I went home to catch the first full nights sleep in a week.

I also start getting the idea of what this famous (or infamous) 'IMD bubble' is all about. Since I walked my girlfriend to the train monday evening I have basically not been in any other location than the school, my apartment, the White Horse and the roads that connects these three places. Next week does not appear to be any different. I do not really feel it you yet, but I see how the bubble slowly is lowering itself on us.
