You'd think ice was a commodity or something around here they way they dole it out two cubes at a time. Sheesh.<br /><br /><br />Hapi: Hello, Hapi. Be happy.<br /><br /><br />Di: Yeah, I know. I'm dissing on the Swiss wine. Truth is, I'm not 100% sure I've had a good wine while I've been here, except maybe that stuff we had in the Alsace. Then again, I wouldn't know a good wine from a bad if it hit me over the head. They all taste the same to me.Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-32265365021050739092009-08-12T18:56:13.136+02:002009-08-12T18:56:13.136+02:00I can't believe you're just gonna diss on ...I can't believe you're just gonna diss on Swiss wines. Hmph. French ones ARE the yummiest though lol.<br /><br />Water in France isn't so hard -- a "carafe d'eau" means a carafe of tap water. Otherwise, look at the menu and see which waters they offer and order by brand name. I get by fine with "Pellegrino" or "Perrier" in France lol.<br /><br />- DiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-90811066195839745392009-08-12T08:30:24.723+02:002009-08-12T08:30:24.723+02:00hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just vi...hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-71903713945269491622009-08-12T04:33:18.957+02:002009-08-12T04:33:18.957+02:00Cool picture!

Makes me wish I knew how to say, "No, I don't want fart water, merci!" :-D<br /><br /><br />Cele: I think the water has vastly improved in the last 30 years. I will tell you, the water in Switzerland is definitely better than the water in France. Go figure.<br /><br /><br />Gilahi: When in Rome, eh? Okay, I confess, I've tried the wine. Not much better than the water, but I will say, French wine is better than Swiss. Go figure.<br /><br /><br />Maya: Good point. I forgot to mention that, didn't I? Yes, trying to do all of this in French makes it infinitely more difficult.Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-34403117535948275972009-08-11T13:01:05.613+02:002009-08-11T13:01:05.613+02:00@Gilahi: So TRUE!
