Im currently at the World Health Organization using one of their computers in the cybercafe.  We arrived in Geneva on the TGV from Paris last night around 6pm. Talk about culture shock-Paris was such a different city.  The people are so much more at ease, not in a rush, not constantly texting on their cell phones. They dont smile and laugh as much as Americans and they certainly arent as loud.  I really enjouyed my time there-went to Versailles, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the public pediatric hospital at Trousseau, and a hospital museum.  The food was absolutely amazing.  Eating for Europeans is a time to relax and enjoy oneself.  Comparing and contrasting the Europeans and Americans is so incredibly interesting.  Im also experiencing another kind of culture shock since everyone on the trip is from Memphis, Tennessee.  Theyre teaching me how to talk with a southern drawl lol  Im having such a wonderful time
