This is the third time I went to see Stephen, He is a guy I met when I was still living in Basel.
He is a sweet guy and he lives by himself. It is always easier for me to travel to Basel and
have a date, I am living in a WG apartment from WOKO, and my room is not that furnished
with only a few crucial pieces of furniture and basically, that is it. Travelling at this time I did
not expect to still have a lot of people, yet the train is more than 50% full and I found a spot
where I sit next to an Asian woman. I guess she is in her 30s. Watching an Asian drama on
her phone, she started to unpack her hotdog dinner for her little own cinema. I wanted to take
her paper container after she threw it into the rubbish bin, but I was too embarrassed to act in
front of her. I took the picture only.

0735 and I ran to the platform the catch the train. Some people were yelling at me in Swiss-
German, and I didn’t understand at all. I went to one of the cabins and I went past 2 cabins
until I find the spot I would like to seat. It was the one with the all-access logo. Right in front
of the gate. I found a booth and there is a table, with a newspaper on top of the table. I then
just took it. People passed by and there was a guy who sits on the opposite side of me, I
would say he does a lot of physical work for his job by the way his physique and his. I took
off at Zürich Altstetten station where a lot of people also interchange in this station.
The newspaper is called 20 minutes, It is probably a free distribution for people who
commute and the contents are good for 20-40 minutes of reading I assume. The newspaper
was on its last page and it shows the Halloween foto-challenge.

and a paper package for pastry
Travelling with the tram, I encountered a leftover newspaper and a paper bag for bread. It
was right next to where I was seating. It was in the morning, I bet the person just finished his
bread for breakfast and also finished the reading newspaper. There was a moment I felt so sad
sitting on the tram. Knowing I am all by myself. I thought of my purpose, and what exactly I
am doing in Switzerland. Also, where am I going in life?

From 0923 to 0938
Objects found: Two 20 minutes Newspapers, FREITAG 4. November 2022
and some packaging pieces
20 Minutes becomes my friend, I expect to see one when I commute in the morning. This
time, I found one that was folded and put in the gap between the seat and the bus, the person
who placed it was quite organised, at least he didn’t just throw it on the floor. Not as the other
one I found on the floor alongside some plastic and paper packages. I barely know any
German so to speak, collecting the newspapers not as I could read them, but to maybe give
meanings when they are expired.

Objects found: A clipping nail and a receipt from a restaurant called
I was coming from Stephen’s place and going back to Zürich, I got a Migros’s veggie lasagne
at 6,9 CHF, a raclette sandwich and a Nestea peach flavour to eat on the train. Something I
like about Swiss trains is that I can eat and drink, and most of the people are quite
responsible, for that trains are in general clean. I found a seat and looked around to see if
there are any interesting objects. I found a nail laying on the floor, yeah, nothing really
exciting. When I bent down to reach it, I accidentally pushed down my Nestea and it rolled
under my seat, and when I tried to look for it, I found this restaurant receipt. It’s not only a
receipt but on its back, it’s written with some notes, it is like a note calculating who owns
who money from the dinner. I imagine the one that left the receipt accidentally. It’s funny
this pieces of receipt has been to Milan and it arrived in IC3
