Grocery shopping 101

So I went grocery shopping today and I learned some interesting things. No where can you find a loaf of bread pre sliced like in america, I found one but it only had 12 slices of bread and it was dry as dry could be. I found peanut butter and they had about 27 kinds of jam. I selected the smallest jar I could find. It was cherry or blueberry I couldn't tell. I bought some cheese and then bought some oranges. Here in switzerland you have to select your oranges and weigh them yourself on this machine. After you weigh them it will print out a ticket with the price on it. I think I typed in the wrong code cause when I got to the register, the lady started yelling at me and them ran back to the produce section and came back with a new bag.
Another fun thing is they do not have any grocery bags. Well I'm sorry they do but they are the same bags you put your fruit and veggies in meaning it is super thin and cannot hold more than 2 lbs of food. I also found out than bank of america will not let you withdraw more than 500 frnacs a day. I went to pay for housing but found out I couldn't because of BOA restrictions. Well Jeff why didn't you just pay with your Credit card? That is because Cash is king here. 99% of places only take cash including the place where your bill is over 2000 francs. I feel like a drug dealer walking around with all this cash. After all this I went to get my residency permit. They asked my religion, thought about telling them I was muslim, but decided not too as there was an actual muslim next to me and the people at the goverment office were giving her and her husband absolute hell. I thought it was funny. I also went ice skating last night. It went well for the last hour or so but the first was hard. All in all not a bad couple of days in Switzerland. Start school on Tuesday so the updating might not happen as much, but at least I don't have any classes on Friday.
