Versoix, Lac Leman frozen

Cold days in Switzerland, Geneva, Versoix, College du Leman… MIES 

An arctic weather system is bringing Switzerland’s coldest winter, and also the famous bise wind is expected to blow too. This will make the temperature on some parts of Geneva feel like -10 to -15, and deliver the wind’s characteristic ice sculptures, like the picture.

“The Bise is a cold, dry wind in Switzerland which blows through the Swiss Plateau from the northeast to the southwest.”

 

Coffee in Crans!

Our ski weekends in Crans Montana were extremely fun. Despite the bad weather on  the first weekend, we enjoyed fresh powder. This picture was from the second weekend, which was sunnier. My favorite part of skiing is relaxing in the middle of the mountains, with a warm drink to rest. The view is amazing there!

Let it snow!

This weekend, all of the boarding students went up to Crans Montana for a ski weekend. We skied, snowboarded, ice-skated and  took party in many fun activities. During the evening we had free time and got to enjoy the local restaurants. There was a lot of snow which meant skiing was canceled on Sunday, however we all had a great time and we are looking forward to return to Crans-Montana next weekend.

The gift of memory!

In reality, the past is forever gone,
Though it keeps coming to us,
Thus living within our reasoning
What a blessing, the gift of memory!
I do not regret retaining it in my understanding.
For I want not to be blind.
Past should never make me feel behind
Those gone days were very better,
Boarding school life I miss it further.
Being a youth was what I enjoyed
Now I confess the years were joy
Pumpkin carving for Halloween contest,
And our decorations were the finest.
I recall the Christmas dance’s arrival
Well, I’d say this is a girls rival
in fact that formal dress
You all looked awesome with no stress
Ski weekends keep us jointly
Gliding on the snow, makes this merry.
Mr. Usher, my boarding mentor
taught me how to become an angel,
Taught me how to be respectful,
 instilled the spirit of hard work to learner’s,
Excellent is what we go for to be winners.
I made international pals
Five years ago it was not easy to recall
Thank you everyone, for each days and nights,
these past events
Memory, a very gift that never ends.
