Raw fish and problems

I received an email from our exchange secretary in MOME that I’m not going to get enough ‘points’ while I’m studying in Budapest. By points I mean the credits (I think they are called ETCS or something) we have to collect every year to graduate on time.

I got almost angry because the information I’ve received about my studies here is close to nothing. Nobody ever told me what courses I have to take and what are the options. And of course with the tiny language barrier it’s even harder.

I wrote to UCCA, talked with my master (I’ve started to like using that word) and with the head of design department and nobody seem to know what should I do.
I’m pissed off but decided not to panic, at least not yet. It just feels strange that I, along with the other Erasmus students, have to found out everything by myself…


Yesterday we went to restaurant called Wasabi for some sushi. It’s a buffee, eat as much as you like for 14 euros. The prize is quite expensive when compared with other restaurants here. Normally you eat and drink with 5 euros.
Anyway, it was a really nice place. They had this long, I don’t know what to call it, service line going around the restaurant with the strangest Japanese dishes I’ve ever seen. I can’t really describe them, you should see the food to understand what I’m talking about. Green jelly soup and sweet fish egg dessert just to mention few of them. But the sushi was good and I didn’t have any surprises when I ate. We sat there almost for three hours and I ate around 200000 sushis and makis. It was so good... I couldn’t stop!

I did something brave yesterday. I cut my own hair. Kitchen scissors just aren’t the best choice to do it. But it looks ok. Thanks for the tips Aingeru!

Toby asked me to mail some Hungarian words for him but I thought you all might want to learn something (written as pronounced):
