new species discovered in Geneva...

This week at 8 AM as I leave the little train (RER) and walking around the city center (not that Geneva has a large one) I saw something I have never seen until now: Geneva is really a business center. THe amount of people I saw wearing suits was amazing. I felt like I was among several penguins...I was feeling very bad wearing my jeans, my Merrel shoes, and my sweatshirt, plus carrying my laptop backpack. Here people in suit carry their laptops (if they carry anything besides their Louis Vitton, Armani or Donatella bags (including man), in highly fashioned laptop bags. They are cool and expensive (around 3000 francs a cheap one), but I bet not as comfortable as mine.

Meanwhile waiting for my bus, I realized I found out where this species so abundant in Geneva (the Homo insuits) forages in the earlier part of the day (to forage is best translated from the scientific vocabulary to everyday words as eat/feed), I found myself in front of a very fancy and modern 'juice shop' with bio products. They leave up to 25 francs for a breakfast. How healthy this species is! After this dangerous search for food they go to another spot to finish foraging, a so called coffee shop, where they have a espresso or a liter cup of coffee and smoke their cigarette.

I finish the appointments of my species discovery (I will write more about the behavior of this species during different parts of the day later) wondering if one day I will ever introduce myself among this species to better understand their behavior like the famous Jane Goodall did...
