Sous le Soleil Suisse translated in english means: Under the Swiss Sun. This will be quite literal for me in the coming months. As a student at California State University, Long Beach, I have decided to take part in the Fall 2010 Direct Exchange Program. What does this mean? Starting Sept. 1, 2010, I will be in Switzerland studying French at the Universite de Lausanne. Whether this experience is good or bad doesn't really matter (though I'm sure the latter will not be the case), because of the fact that I'm getting the chance to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I'm a journalism student and because of this I've decided to use my observation skills as well as my natural curiousity to develop this blog into an accurate and first-hand recording of my time and travels in Switzerland. Enjoy!
