Saijt.Cheese Donuts.Budapestíng...

Hello world and all who inhabit the internet... Hungarian in possibly the craziest but most enjoyable language I've ever come across. Every "R"is rolled and letters go every which way turning my brain into a pretzel. But a nice pretzel. Am I making any sense? I feel like I'm not but whatever. I went to Budapest today which was really cool. The city is beautiful but at times it feels as if I am being suffocated by the city itself which is kind of overwhelming. But like I said, no complaints, it is beautiful in its own way. I saw my school and saw the public transportation system available to me. Public transportation is crazy amazing here. Nothing like in California. I had Hungarian ice cream today which was freaking amazing (nagyon finom[verytasty])and talked to Balazs over skype. I swear, it feels so nice to have a conversation in English after so much Hungarian. Like, I love listening and learning Hungarian don't get me wrong but when you can only say a few words in Hungarian and you say those words as much as you can while trying to learn new ones, speaking English is like a glass of ice water. Speaking of drinks... I'm thirsty... speaking of being thirsty... I miss milk. A lot. I crave it all the time now... I drink a lot of water which I weird because in California I drank milk all the time... so interesting changes.

So yeah... good deal...

  1. Katie: I'm pleased to have your blog bookmarked and look forward to following your adventures. I may not be active in Rotary at the moment, but my oldest daughter is in Berlin this year and we have a German exchange student with us (friend of the family) for at least the first semester. We just can't get away from this foreign stuff. Have fun!
