Village talks. Living in a village, you can't really avoid that. Everyone knows everyone, and of course somebody will always watch you at whatever you do.
When Expatraveler was in Switzerland and visited me every couple of weeks / months, people started talking about my new girlfriend. Although we were and still are good friends, that kind of relationship was out of question from the beginning on. But because I always like to confuse people a bit I took quite some pleasure in leading things in a certain direction.
A couple of weeks ago things got even funnier.
But let's start at the beginning...
Several years ago one of my uncles moved to Poland and met a woman who had a young daughter. That daughter got quite attracted by my uncles tales about Switzerland and eventually came over here to work at a farm. And since we have a big house accomodation was no problem here. The young lady liked to go out at night, and as it happens when girl meets boy she got involved into some kind of romance. Two years and a couple of visits later he finally got her pregnant - and disappeared to Lebanon, where he actually came from and knew another woman that attracted him more. So there she was in Poland, with a daughter but without a father for the kid, and decided to return to Switzerland in order to try her luck again on Swiss men. Nothing really happened this time, except that she thrown out of the appartment she lived in and moved in our place again - with the baby this time.
I don't think I really have to go into details about the rest, but according to village talk I became the father of a 1 1/2 year old daughter within just two weeks... That's even faster than it happened in the bible! ;-)
Don't they look pretty? But believe me, I wasn't the only one who was exptremly happy when they finally left after almost 2 months!
