The Big Surprise
Much to my disappointment (or maybe my relief) Jawaid’s surprise was not very exciting, and rather strange. His surprise was that he is in fact married and has a son… he had lied to me about it because he thought it would be funny to tell me the truth later. He revealed his surprise by giving me a set of pictures from our trip and putting a picture of his son at the end of the slideshow. He was so amused with himself when I saw the picture; he just giggled and giggled. The man really has a terrible sense of humor. So he has a wife and a kid, which is good for him, and not of much interest to me. I went to frisbee practice last night and received the official Geneva greeting from a couple of the guys - the triple cheek kiss (TCK). Now that I get to greet people with the TCK I feel just like a local (or little bit like a local). A note on the triple cheek kiss – I fully support the one cheek kiss greeting or even the two cheek, but three switchbacks is just ridiculous. When a large group meets, it takes a good five minutes for everyone to greet each other. It’s absurd (and apparently I'm not the only person who thinks so).

honestly, you have to know him, but i really think he just thought it was funny. it wasn't funny, it was strange, but not upsettng. an important note is that he is not the guy who asked me to sleep with him, he's the one who stressed us being just friends almost as often as i did.
