I have mentioned the United Nations building in my earlier post (Part 1), and I would like to describe it a bit more before I talk about the Alps. The UN building has great infrastructure and has a very large campus. There is a very beautiful fountain at the entrance and a chair with a broken leg sits near the fountain – it reminds one that a person cannot stay in power forever and that power corrupts.
It also has a very great shop which has almost everything – from wine to chocolates to stationery J.
Moving on to the Alps: The Alps mountain range runs through several countries in Europe, from Austria on the east to France in the west. The Chamonix-Mont Blanc Mountains are very close to the city of Geneva. Mount Blanc is 15,782 feet tall and it is the highest mountain in the Alps. To reach to the top of the mountains you have to take a ski lift and there are many towers that you can choose to climb to get a better view from the top. There is a magnificent bridge, on crossing which you reach Italy. Below the mountains is the city of Chamonix, which surprisingly hardly receives snow.
