[Geneva II]
Monday, April 30th 2007 - 12:34:37 AM
I visited some places in my second day satyed in Geneva. I went to Gare de Cornavin first(Gare is a station in French) to put my backage, then I went to the Cathedrale de Saint-Pierre. There are two museen in this church. One is International Museum of the Reformation and another one is Archaeological Site of Saint-Pierre Cathedral. The stupid thing I done was I forgot to say I wanna buy the ticket for student. Therefore, I got more expensive ticket which includes two museen and free-visit of Cathedral tower. It cost 16 Euro in total, and I have to pay only 8 Euro for the student discount if I told them first. Anyway, I enjoyed the visiting and it's not a big deal. I were quite interesting in the religion things recently, and I also tried to understand more about this. The reformation museum is very new, and mainly talking about the great works of Calvin for the religious reformation. Also, I had known some history about Geneva. In addition, the Archaeological Site is really amazing, it's so large that I'm afraid of losing my way inside. It's pretty good because I had a audio guide explaining something to me. It took me almost two and half hours to visit these two museen. I went up to the tower after that, and it was really really cool. It was so beautiful, and you can see whole city beneath and also the fountain near the lake. The weather was good, so I can see quite far away. I had breakfest very late (almost start in one minute before they close the kitchen), so I didn't have lunch in Geneva. I went to Musee International De La Croix-Rouge Et Du Croissant-Rouge immediately, and passed the Palais des Nations. It's getting hotter and some people just played inside the fountain in front of ONU. I really liked the ICRC Museum, which has lots of stuff making people ponder. There were few films I thought were quite good.
