Running away

Cleaning my room has always managed to bring back nice memories. I have a bag sort of thing where I have all the electronics that I generally take with me whenever I travel. It also has certain stuff that I have collected from all over the places. While cleaning this bag, I found two items very interesting.
See that pink strip? Its from TECHNORAMA, Swiss scince center and one of the coolest places in Swiss. True, Swiss is beautiful and everything but if you live in country side it does get a tad boring. My friend and I had had an amazing time in this place. Fundamental physics was explained via experiments that you can do on your own. Acceleration, angular gyration, viscosity etc are performed in such a way that you physically experience those phenomena. A whole floor is dedicated for puzzles and optical illusions and this floor also housed very nice geological lab. All in all it was a great place to hang out especially if you are a science geek.
When I go to Swiss in next couple of months, I am sure visiting this place again.

The second thing I found: Its very interesting actually.

Whenever we register (ourselves) to a community, then we get a kind of welcome kit. Its a folder of flyers, addresses, clubs, maps of the locality, take away coupons etc. I was surprised to find this box of tablets in that folder. I asked one of my Swiss colleagues about it. He said since we recided in an area that is hardly few miles from nuclear reactor, the government mandated circulation of these tablets for free so that when something goes wrong, everyone has it. Its kind of nice to take these precautionary measures given the state of things these days. H1N1 seems to test every country's readiness to biological warfare and we seem to have failed miserably. I know its a pretty harsh term, but in reality if something like that does happen, then how would we react?
