    This is a wonderful website and great resource for everyone living in the Geneva area. Ellen Wallace and her staff have come up with a great concept and every day is rich with information and alerts to local events that would otherwise take a lot of work combing through local newspapers and magazines. Bravo and many thanks!!

  3. Chef J.K.Singh Says:

    This is a new site for me. I just read about Swiss International Airlines will be flying from Geneva direct to my city – San Francisco. As a friend and I are planning to revisit Italy and have not considered Swizerland.

    Now we may rethink our trip in Sept. 2010. Do you know if some bed and breakfast places will be working with the new airline???

    I look forward to coming to your site again.

    thank you

  5. Richard Says:

    I stumbled across your site and am pleased with what you have done. Living in Canada with a Swiss wife it is nice to be able to get some English language news closer to her home so I can feel somewhat informed. Keep up the good work and coverage! Well done.

  6. Ellen Wallace Says:

    Richard, thank you for the nice note, a great Monday morning gift! We actually have a lot of fans in Canada, part of the ongoing Switzerland-Canadian link, which is pretty strong. Welcome!

  7. Sinan Akyuz Says:

    I’m really amazed to find a website like this. I’m currently a student in RI and am planning on applying to UNIGE for Master’s. And, the previous “things to do in Geneva”-oriented websites I came across really made me question the cyber abilities of Genevois :) )

    This all looks really promising and exciting! Great job Ellen and her team!

  8. Ellen Wallace Says:

    Thank you Sinan, you just made our day :-) And good luck with the studies. Be sure to pass the GL address along to others, please.
