Parking.
Okay okay, not the most beautiful picture I've ever posted - but I just wanted to show you my parking area. Parking here in Geneva isn't so readily available, and IF you're lucky enough to find a lot to park in around here that has a free spot, it costs around 200 CHF per month - not so convenient.
It just so happens, though, that a short while back a building was demolished directly behind my building. And now, this footprint became the parking lot for my building, hidden from the street by a lockable garage door. Pretty sweet. When I signed for this apartment, I was told there is a construction project that would start January 2007 to rebuild in this spot, and that I would have to look for parking elsewhere. However, it is now May, and still no sign of construction (keep your fingers crossed). It's super convenient to have the car and bike off the street, hidden, and directly underneath my apartment.
