Almost too much so in the area I was staying. There is definitely a feeling of suspended detachment and elite utopian serenity that overcomes you in a slow sensation.

People are pretty positive, but I&#8217;d vouch completely removed from the world. It was a very sedate place<span id="more-95"></span>. Almost too much so in the area I was staying. There is definitely a feeling of suspended detachment and elite utopian serenity that overcomes you in a slow sensation.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2008/03/house.gif" alt="" align="right" />Switzerland can be expensive. The weather is starkly cold compared to Oman. It has been a complete 180 for me. Going from secluded, dull, and hot to open, colorfol, and cool was a complete change of pace. I feel a little ill- maybe because of the drastic environment change. I&#8217;m rocking it out, though. I don&#8217;t get to come here every day now. I really wish my family was with me to experience all this beauty around me.<br />
<img src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2008/03/pose.gif" alt="" align="left" />The green and blue go really good together here. The rolling prairies, picturesque mountains, white picket fences &#8211; it&#8217;s all too perfect here. It really seems the clock works slower here. I went to Heidi Park today. The story of the legend was pretty cute; you should Google it.</p>
<p>I get a feeling of elitist independence around here. Like people are completely unaware of the wars and movements happening outside the country. Not that it&#8217;s bad, it&#8217;s just so interesting each country is living exclusively its own past and executing on solely its own objectives without being very apparently aware of the outside world. Maybe it&#8217;s the socialist side of me. I&#8217;m not being a hater, this place is beautiful; just a thought that came to mind.</p>
<p>Anyways, was a really short trip. I desperately need to make it back here to catch winter on the Swiss Alps. Would love to test the slopes here. I think this has a completely different flavor when the winter blanket covers this heavenly country.</p>
