ambrosia

it was while checking allan's email when i came across the word ambrosia courtesy of a cyber group which goes with the name wordsmith (wordsmith.org). the word is both an adjective and a noun and what caught my attention was it is a fruit dessert that is also a salad. and what makes it interesting is to complete the salad or the dessert you need to add shreds of coconut meat...which gets me thinking back of the coconut groves within the compound of banquerohan national high school. anyway cheers for the coconut...

if you care to do your own ambrosia i suggest you can add some mint leaves. it brings out the flavor of the whole mixture...

first snow of the winter season

the jura and the saleve are two of the mountains seen from our balcony in geneva. yesterday when i glanced in the direction of the jura i saw the mountain and got the impression that it was nearer than usual. a simple explanation became obvious: the peak of the mountain was covered with the first snow of the season...looking at the mountain i felt a fang of sadness...for me snow and winter is a sad affair...but i am not complaining for the simple reason that winter also gives us a breather from the daily grind of living...it is the season when earth itself needs to re new and re invent itself...trees need to shed leaves...and the turning of colors of the leaves itself is a beautiful experience...

Paul Klee

When visiting Bern dont forget to include a visit to the Paul Klee Zentrum. Taking the train to Bern from anywhere in Switzerland, the moment you come out of the main train station to the Bahnhof square take bus 12 in the direction Zentrum Paul Klee. Along the way from the main train station bus 12 passes through several of Bern's historical places including the Käfigturm (prison tower), Zytglogge (astronomical clock), untere Altstadt (lower old town), Nydeggbrücke (Nydegg bridge), Bärengraben (bear pits with the Bern Tourist Information Center) and a climb up Aargauer Stalden street which offers excellent view of the old town of Bern. Travel time is approximately 10 minutes. Bus 12 goes to the Paul Klee Zentrum until 11 pm. Another option is to take Tram number 5 in the direction of Ostring. Take it to the end station; then there is a walk by foot going slightly upwards through a shopping center and then, after turning left, along the Giacometti street to the south entrance and also to the main entrance to the Paul Klee Center. Along the way from the main train station to the Paul Klee Center the no.5 tram passes by: Käfigturm (prison tower), Zytglogge (astronomical clock), Casino, Kirchenfeld bridge, Helvetiaplatz (Helvetia place) and the museum quarter (Kunsthalle, Historical Museum, Alpine Museum; nearby: military museum, Museum for Communication, Natural History Museum).
Travel time from the main train station: ca. 26 minutes. Another bus line, bus 10 in the direction of Ostermundigen is another option. Take it to the Schosshalden cemetery stop; then go by foot along the Schosshalden cemetery to the Schöngrün Restaurant and the north entrance to the Paul Klee Center. Along the way from the main train station to the Paul Klee Center the no.10 bus passes by: Bundeshaus (Capitol building) and Bundesplatz, Zytglogge (astronomical clock), city theater, Kornhausbrücke (Corn house bridge), Kursaal and Grand Casino, rose garden (with a wonderful view of the entire old town of Bern), Schosshalden cemetery with the grave of Paul Klee. Travel time from the main train station ca. 21 minutes.
