A Minah in Lausanne

I have a story to relate, about a 'young' Minah Kampung who decided to visit europe in the cold winter far away from sunny home. She first landed in Switzerland after transit from Dubai, a stark contrast between climate and culture, and below was one of the first several pictures of her in Switzerland.


The weather did not catch her by surprise but she was a tad under prepared for her winter clothing. In one of the early outing and being a kampung Minah, she almost get her tongue glued to icy pole at the bus stop downtown Lausanne. Minah really enjoyed and got herself exercised from the hilly landscape of Lausanne town, supermarket to supermarket hunting the roulade cheese + baguette


Lausanne is a small town beside the lake Geneva but most tourist areas are practically closed due to the cold weather condition. But, it was sufficient for Minah to got acquainted with Lausanne, a serene and quiet location.


A 40minute train ride separates Lausanne from Geneva and Minah decided to use this mode to commute inter city. She was full of joy able to view the country side of Switzerland, although its all white landscape due to the wintery climate. Later on during her stay she had a blast throwing snow balls and all...

At Grancy and after one day arriving, Minah can be considered as an expert in the metro subway knowing what route to take for the next destination and seen below she is all cold and quipped that her layers of clothing are not adequate to keep her warm

This one, she said, is specially dedicated to Salim Agusta our long long time friend's mascot...


At last, Minah with dear husband before the spate of snow ball fights...


Minah with Nan the butler, went for Asian store kitchen shopping for their preparation of home cook food. They bought lemongrass, chilly padi and anything that taste like home


Minah tried to get a bargain from the roadside sales, and as by this time she was jumping cold...

This Minah story ... will be continued
