living close to Ouchy

For those of you who are not as versed in Swiss geography or the layout of Lausanne, let me start by explaining what Ouchy is. It's basically where the tourists go to when they come to Lausanne, and why, of course, it's lakeside. There are cafes, restaurants, and a huge open space for the city to host all sorts of events. For example, I went to see a circus near Ouchy during easter.

Anyway, it's the ultimate place for local dwellings to hang out on weekends as well, beside a great place to take a lakeside walk and all these things I menetioned earlier, you can also hang out by the beach, sail, etc. Last week, the city had a mini amusement park setup.

The traffic at Ouchy was terrible during the weekend. This was one of the few occassions I felt lucky living close to Ouchy. Man, I can just walk places where people have to drive and find parking. Great! I guess the perk only works when it's nice out, I didn't realize the advantage at all during winter. Anyway, I will try to remember to take a picture for you guys next time.

Oh, you may ask, why on earth did I choose to live near Ouchy, it must be pretty expensive. Yes, it isn't cheap, but since IMD is right at the lake by Ouchy, I really didn't have a lot of choice. Like most MBAs, I wanted to live within a 10-minute walk radius from school.

Enjoy spring!
