Wine tasting

I had a final coffee meeting with Ahmad and Nicole on Thursday afternoon.  It was kind of strange, since I still have a week and a bit left of work, but since Ahmad is travelling next week, this was it.  I was able to give some feedback on the internship and they got me some really nice WHO souvenirs.  It will be nice to have those to be able to remember my time here.

Thursday night was another going away party for an intern friend, Inneke.  We had planned to go out for dinner, but a bunch of others were going to a wine tasting at the cave du palais de justice.  I skipped spinning class and went to drink wine and eat snacks instead!

There were about 10 of us and we definitely stood out.  We were the only ones speaking English, the youngest by at least a decade and also definitely stood out as being less classy than the other cave clientele. We paid 15 CHF to get into the tasting, which included a credit towards buying a bottle of wine.  Not a bad deal, especially since there was lots of cheese snacks and hors d'oeuvres. It was kind of dangerous, since I am still definitely in the "eat all the free things" intern mode, which also included drink all the "free" wine.
