Geneva Auto Show

Woke up at 5:30 AM Saturday morning and got on the train at 7 to go to Geneva, Switzerland.  I had already booked a round trip train ride with an included entrance fee for 36 euros the day before, so I just had to pack lunch and leave.  The train ride took 2 hours and marks my 4th time there.  The autoshow is in a giant warehouse.  Each company had their own spot and generally worked hard to construct an environment.
