Gym, Apartment, & Foreigners

There is something rewarding to waking early and hitting the gym before work. It's a fresh start to the day and gives you more time in the evening for other things. I recently bought a gym membership after letting my last membership expire a few years ago. It's a new gym in the old town just minutes away from my apartment. I found the place by accident and was impressed with their location, price, hours, and facilities. My goal is to go 2-3 times per week, mostly in the early morning.

Today I signed the contract for my new apartment and gave notice to my current landlord that I'll be leaving. Things seem to be going to plan and I should be in the new apartment in just a few weeks. With luck I'll find a new tenant for the beginning of March and save myself having to pay for the last two months of my contract. Let's hope!

Recently a post was made on EnglishForum.ch concerning somebody's negative adjustment to Switzerland. They wrote:

A man went to a foreign land and asked a local, "What are the people like here?"

The local turned to the visitor and replied, "Well, what are the people like where you're from?"

The visitor answered, "They're all fools, close-minded, ignorant, cold and arrogant."

The local then said, "Well then, that's what you'll find here too."

I couldn't have said it better.
