5 things I did in Hungary today..


1. Haggled at the market square. I mean really, why pay 5800 forints for something that is really only worth 5200 forint?
2. Rode the Villamos (tram, or above ground city train)
3. Going to see Bye Bye Birdie at the High School (in Hungarian)
4. Noticed that excessive body hair is readily accepted here (score!)
5. Had a great conversation on the bus with an older woman after giving her Grace's seat. Folks on the bus have great respect for mother's with children and the elderly, BUT making eye contact and small talk on the bus is generally not done. Only by speaking the language and offering her a seat did I even gain the right to speak to her.

And I'm eating foods like these! Honestly, can someone just bring my babies here to me so I can stay forever?!
