Onward, what came next? I don’t recall the sequence now, but I bused through the countryside heading south, visited the Isle of Man, watched the Isle of Man TT races at the beginning of June. Have you heard of the TT Races? This is a motorbike race that has a course through mountainous terrain challenging the best of riders. It is a thrill to watch and in 1964 it was Mike Hailwood. I remember standing with many onlookers near a humpback bridge and watching as the riders came speeding round the bend almost touching the ground as they crossed the bridge. It was engraved on my memory.

Although I am originally from India however, I am residing in Switzerland as an MBA student for a period of 1 year & 6 months. This is my first foreign country experience & before visiting this country I had no idea how my experience would be. As soon as I arrived at the Zurich airport around 7 in the evening, I was excited, nervous, thrilled & kind of confused at the same time like mixed emotions running all over me. I also had no clue where to pick up my baggage from but when I asked the airport staff, they assisted me quite promptly and politely. Then the college car came to pick me up & I had quite a playful conversation with the driver in which we were exchanging some awesome words about our respective countries. It was more like a cultural exchange. While on my way to college I was beyond excited to see the swiss streets, roads, buildings etc.

Of Alley must be one of the oddest street names to be found anywhere. The reason for the name rests with a remarkable character who lived during the 17th century. This was George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham.
