TheOneAndOnlyLeo Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I may be new to the Mika Fan Club (you all seem like such wonderful people by the way) but I am not new to being a Mika Fan at all. It is quite recent that I started getting really into him and his music though. My name is Leo, I live in Switzerland and am open to questions if you have any. Mostly I am just here to have fun and appriciate Mika`s tendancy to stand on pianos. I have never been to a concert unfortunately, but am hoping to attend one when he comes to Sion in the summer! All in all, have a nice day! I`ve personally ordered it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linzijay Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Welcome @TheOneAndOnlyLeo! I'm Lindsey from the USA. I hope you do get to see MIKA this summer! I'm still waiting for a chance to see him in concert and dream of the day he returns to Chicago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnlyLeo Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 @linzijay My heart goes out to you! In the US it`s a bit more complicated to get to concerts, so you have all my sympathies. Sion is actually almost on the other side of the country for me, but since it`s Switzerland that means it is max a three-hour trainride 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneAndOnlyLeo Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 @Prisca I sure hope so! I am dying to see Mika live. Graubünden is a beautiful place, I`ve been a couple of times (for skiing and hiking) and have always been impressed by it`s beauty. We don`t have mountains in Basel, so we don`t get the "authentic Swiss experience". The romansh language fascinates me as well, I am a fan of Latin and how languages evolve and are connected. I am a bit jealous of where you live now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I grew up in the mountains, I always took them for granted and didn't think they were anything special, the people of the lowlands had to make me aware of that. 😆All places have their advantages. In Basel, you can get to France and Germany quickly and have an airport close by. I have to drive at least two hours to the airport every time. I am a Romansh speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnlyLeo Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) @Prisca If you can call any place in Switzerland "lowlands"! And you are Romansh speaker! Is it your mother tongue? I remember a fun experience I had in Graubünden. My friends and I asked some local boys for directions and they started giggling and chatting among themselves in a language none of us could understand. My italian friend kept shaking her head saying "I can almost understand them". In the end we found out where we had to go, but it was a memorable meeting nonetheless!

SusanT Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Hello Leo! I joined the Fan Club only last year so I'm pretty new here. Like you I haven't been to a Mika gig yet but I'm really looking forward to seeing him in July in Matera, which isn't far from where I live. I've enjoyed being a member of the Club and hope you will too. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara09 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Hello Leo, welcome to the MFC!

I love Italy so much, and Mika just makes it better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
