Day 7: Red Cross Museum, Museum Ariana, Swiss fondue

Location : Geneva, Switzerland

UN Application
After doing my lats and lower back, I had the same putanesca pasta and I was off to the UN to do my internet and get job postings. The posting mostly were internal hirings.

There was however, a free exhibit of Gulag, the Russian prison camp. I believe the pictures were sanitized. None of the notorious brutality that Gulag has been known for was portrayed.

Swiss Fondue
For dinner, Ginny and I had an authentic Swiss fondue in a restaurant on the lake itself. That's all they seem to serve. Coupled with a pitcher of white wine, it was good...makes me want to ship my fondue set to the Phil.
