Bonjour de la Suisse

Hello from Switzerland! ~~ The adventures of a California girl who got married to a great guy, G, and traded in her old life for the chance to live in a foreign land and live the expat life for a couple years. We live in Geneva, Switzerland with our globe-trotting cat, Scout.

Pillow fighters unite!

Has anyone ever heard of a FlashMob? Neither had I until a friend of mine here in Geneva invited us to a "Pillow Fight Club" in the middle of a big square in the old town, Place du Molard.

The invitation read (translated from French): "Our FlashMob will be a coordinated gathering between friends and other randoms with absolutely no political goal, but for the unique goal to have fun itself, to be delirious and all this in a synchronized scene of total elation and of fleeting chaos, only to disperse into the city five minutes later. Prepare and be ready with your pillow - be punctual."

Cool! At precisely seven, pillows & feathers were flying! I got in there, pillow in hand (G was doing a bit more picture taking than fighting). I recognized a couple people I knew, but there was no time for chit-chat, after 5 minutes a whistle blew, the crowd dispersed,... and we were off to the circus!
