Some snaps from last weekend

I spent Friday and Saturday as an observer at the International Federation of University Women (IFUW) Committee and Board meetings in Geneva. The two sessions I attended were with the Status of Women Committee on Friday and Membership Committee the day after. It is always interesting for me to see how things work -in this case, at an international federation level- how policy gets made ... and eventually gets transformed into action.


At Bhupi's (converted) barn in Grand Saconnex, a village on the outskirts of Geneva, where I stayed from Friday night and was treated to a spicy, home-cooked meal. Unfortunately I had also over-dosed on a packet of Haldiram's right before, so couldn't have seconds. Ste arrived on Saturday evening and we had a lovely time ... and no, I did not clean out Bhupi's Moevenpick ice-cream stash.

Unfortunately I only remembered that I had my camera as we were about to leave! Bhupi, who was yanked out of bed at an unearthly hour for Sunday morning, politely declined to be photographed. But there's always a NEXT TIME!!!

Then we moved onward to the Temasek Club Chinese New Year lunch near Oron ... which is near Lausanne ... which is near Geneva. Sort of. It was really good fun catching up with the Geneva folks and meeting some new faces who'd come from all over Switzerland. We left with full stomachs ... but empty hands (no luck in the lucky draw).
