I Hate Myself for Loving You

I'm not sure what I think of Geneva. In some ways, it feels like a typical European city. There's the lovely old historic areas where the elite go to dine on fondue and chocolate; the rows of trendy designer stores with names I don't recognize because "these designers are so exceptionally funky their names are uncommon" (little ole me didn't know you could purchase a mini-skirt for a mere $40K); and right outside my shitty little hotel, the red light district with it's late night brawls, scantily clad hustlers and blank-eyed druggies. This part of Geneva I understand. This part of Geneva I embrace.
