I don't think the Swiss use the exclamation mark, or at least I can't find it on this keyboard.  If zou didn't figure it out from mz last post, zou can see now that the Swiss put their Z's where the Y should be.  I'll trz to fix it.  Anywaz (darn), anyzway (oops), anyway, last night I couldn't connect to the wireless network, and though we got it working today by using their wireless card, I ran out of batteries, and though I brought a converter, it's case doesn't fit their kid-safe outlets, thus I'm working from their computer, which of course has a German keyboard.  The short version of the story is this: I arrived safely, had a good day seeing the town a little with the family in the process of registering and getting a bank account.  I don't know why I was worried about border control at the airport.  He didn't even look at the inside of my passport.  However, they did look long and hard at my papers when I registered at the alien office (no spell check on this computer).  We had no trouble though - they took my 130 francs willingly.  I think I'll be able to get the hang of trams and finding my way around the city.  I find it hard to understand Tamino even when he throws and English word in.  He's two, speaks Hindi, high German and Swiss German and switches between the three with no warning.  However, this is only the second daz and I'm beginning to understand his German.  No progress on the Hindi yet . . .

At first I thought that it's too bad he's not older so he pronounciation would be clearer, but I think it's a good age because his grammar is simple, but correct, and his parents speak to him in German which exposes me to a lot of German even though we're tempted to speak English to each other.

 I have pictures, but you'll have to wait until I get mz computer up again.  Oh no, I hear Anu doing the dishes without me.  Catch zou later.
