1/31/09 Part 2: Patek Phillipe for second worst tour ever

From Geneva Trip


After a break of an hour something for lunch we headed to Patek Phillipe's museum, the Swiss watch maker. However, the museum was located in a different place than the store we were at, and so Davis had to scramble to try and lead us to the actual museum. We were kind of lost and while crossing the street a guy in a random car yelled something at Davis because the car almost hit him. Davis replied to us: "I think that guy just yelled at me in Swiss."

The tour was unbearable and after about 2 minutes I couldn't care less about the entire history of watch making forever, which was what we were getting. Our tour guide repeatedly talked about how it was amazing that they made such intricate, functional watches without any computers (not that I cared). She also talked about how much "complicate" the watches had, which is how much extra worthless crap was on the face of the watch, other than actually displaying the time.

I headed to Coop afterwards and picked up some Smirnoff vodka and a carton of orange juice for later at night. The orange juice tasted really bad and it wasn't until after already having a couple drinks that I realized the orange juice was actually orange juice concentrate and I didn't actually read the label (which was in french). Needless to say it was really rough and didn't turn out too well. At least I got to sleep in the next morning.
