Robin Willaims, Hellen Keller... Who?

It has been a while since I have done a post. A few things have happened since the last post. I toured the city of Zurich where I had the chance to see where Zwingli first started his part in the Reformation (left). I saw the new Aladdin movie in a cinema (yes, it was in English). It was interesting because, in the middle of the movie, there was a ten-minute intermission. This was interesting, but it took away from my fourth wall experience. Overall, the movie was great!
Now, the reason for the title is because of what I have found as a shock in this country. When I first arrived, M told me that I needed to watch a movie. The movie was Patch Adams with Robin Williams as the title character. I told him that I have seen the movie multiple times and even owned the movie on my computer. He told me that people here, especially the youth, do not know about Robin Williams. I cannot fathom a childhood without Robin with his characters like Mrs. Doubtfire, Genie, Peter Pan, Patch Adams, flubber, Popeye, and many, many more. Another person that people do not know is Helen Keller. Well, this may not be as important because why would I suspect an Alabama native to be famous in Switzerland? I didn't. However, when I was looking at the streets, as I am making a map for my project at C&D, I saw that there was a street called Helen-Kellerstrasse. I looked it up and it was, in fact, the same Helen Keller that I know of. She happened to have a Swiss background and that is why there is a street named after her since she became famous in the States. When I asked M about this, he said that he didn't know who Helen Keller was and I informed him as to who the street was named after.

It will be a little longer, again, till I make another post because I will be in a different part of the country and may not have WiFi. Until then, my friends, God bless.
