In March 2018, I went to Fribourg and Zurich for a film festival. It was my first time in Europe and I was on my own. Being a small Filipino girl in a country where everything was made for taller people was an inconvenience that thrilled me. The ratio of asian people to white people was one to twenty. My meals were all food chain burgers and chocolates. I walked everywhere but establishments closed by 8pm. Soccer Mommy’s Switzerland played on repeat. I didn’t own a lot of jeans during that time, so my knees turned pink.

switzerland is cold.
