Geneva, the awesome.

This was my first time traveling alone so I was really anxious. Really excited, and really nervous about going to a giant, metal thing with wings, but first entering the maze of an airport. It was easy because I had an escort, yes an escort, but only going to Geneva! When I arrived, I was blown away by the amount of trees, and GRASS, and pets, and security. 

Reasons why Geneva is awesome:
  1. Plastic bags aren't provided in grocery stores anymore
  2. If there are any stray animals, citizens must call a number, a specific one!
  3. Street con artists are always stood up by any random person who will call the police. (I was there)
  4. You can cross the border to France easily.
  5. It's so green here, with so many parks and gardens.
  6. People are really friendly.
  7. Food is awesome!!!
Yeah, those are some reasons why Geneva is awesome, as well as Switzerland. I really wish Jordan would try to be Eco-friendly, but it's the people here that might mess it up if it was.
   In Geneva I went scootering with Madina... ALONE!!!! I might seem crazy but you can go around, walking alone! In Jordan, you can if you dare, but there's no where to go. I went to the lake with Nour... A FREAKIN' LAKE!!!! In Amman a puddle is the closest thing to a lake. I went scootering, exploring, swimming, eating, and shopping. (I know, shopping?, but I didn't say only for clothes.) I laughed and smiled a lot, not just because I was in Geneva, but because I was having fun with friends in Geneva.


Okay, now I have a game for you guys...

How many frogs are in this picture?

Aanswer at the Bottom


So it's kinda like a game, but it's pretty easy. This was in the Botanical Garden. Frogs and dragonflies, oh yeah! So if your family doesn't know where to go for a relaxing vacation, try Geneva, in winter or summer. (It's not a Hawaii, or Jamaica, it's better in my opinion.)
