A Walk in Geneva

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Yesterday I went to a Ruby on Rails talk in Geneva. I headed to town early and had a walk from Cornavin to the UNHCR building before walking towards the WMO. I then turned towards the lake and headed to the parc.

In the park I saw that people were in summer mode. Some were having barbecues whilst more were having siestas and more. Geneva has switched to summer mode. After passing by the Palais Wilson I headed back into the centre, towards Grottes, and that's where I saw the Orchestre des Nation performing in the street.It is amusing to see Geneva being more Mediterranean.

I went to Geneva two or three hours early because I thought that if I had a walk, and went to the meetup, then the trip was more worthwhile than if I had simply gone for a meetup and networking.

Going to tech related meetups is a habit that I enjoyed when I lived in London but then lost when I lived in Geneva because they were few, and far between. Now I see that there are events almost every week, if not more regularly, between Nyon, Geneva, and Lausanne.

And finally, if the coworking group had met yesterday when I was in Geneva I would have dropped in to their event first, and then gone on to the meetup. I will go to more of their events, in future.
