My Lil' Project: Ok then, maybe next weekend

This week has officially been my first full week in Vevey (coz when I first arrived, I only spent like 5 days in Vevey before leaving for our Anniversary trip to Barcelona). I've finally gotten over the jet lag and am sleeping and waking up at the normal hours (though Mi Amor would beg to differ coz he thinks 10 pm is too early to be falling asleep :P). Thought that today I would have the opportunity to go walking around Switzerland (take a train to Geneva to get em' macaroons that I've been craving for to be precise) but Mi Amor had to go into the office today for work (he just left like half an hour ago) :(
If you're thinking why can't I just postpone my macaroon and sight seeing tour of Geneva tomorrow, that's because most if not all shops are closed on Sunday (it's times like this when I miss Malaysia). Guess I'll just hafta wait for next weekend then :P (I swear Mi Amor, the longer I wait, the more macaroons I'm gonna buy, hah!)

So then, how did I spend the first half of my Saturday? Well, we went to the open air market in the town/city square and marveled at the fresh produce there though we ended up not buying anything (supermarkets I am used to, markets not so much. I personally felt intimidated and overwhelmed). Highlight of the market trip was seeing 2 guys being arrested and handcuffed by the local police and escorted into the police car. I don't know what happened though, we missed all the action (not that there was much action, we only realized something was up when we saw the police talking calmly to 2 guys who were sitting down quietly and the next thing we know, the police car came to pick em' up).

Went to a halal butcher to get some meat and chicken (freaking expensive...can u imagine around almost 5 swiss francs for 5 pieces of chicken drumsticks?). They do sell a whole chicken but unlike our butchers in Malaysia, they don't chop it up for you (and I sure as hell ain't going to do the chopping at home!) so we settled on chicken fillets and the drumsticks. Apparently there's a cheaper halal butcher but the shop is further away (around half and hour's walk) and since we didn't have enough time (Mi Amor had to be in the office in the afternoon) we settled for the expensive one. Then we went to Migros (supermarket) to do our grocery shopping.

And that's that! Now I'm looking for recipes online to cook tonight's dinner. Yeah, interesting way to spend a Saturday, I know :P

Stopped by the recycling place first to throw out our trash

On the way to the market

Could have taken the scenic route (by the lake) but was trying to break into my new boots and I kept slipping so Mi Amor decided we should take the short cut
