        I think I've posted about this already, but the culture of
        preparedness in Switzerland is something I'm still getting used to.
        It's easy to think about multiple reasons why the notion of being
        prepared for all types of emergencies (from natural to social, from
        astronomical to biological) is not common in Brazil. But here even
        the government has a website [1] and a guide [2] on how to prepare
        one's self and family for emergencies.
       
        I'm adapting and learning to prepare our family and this week is
        proving to be a great lesson for us. We were caught by surprise by
        multiple problems and we're still trying to figure out a way out.
        It's been hard to sleep at night, due to concern, and I can't help
        but wonder how I could have better prepared ourselves for this
        situation.
       
        I know we'll work something out and I should look at the positive
        side of how much we're learning right now, but this is easier to be
        done after we're out of the woods.
