I took my summer shoes out for the first time yesterday. They really enjoyed Budapest and begged me to go take them for a walk soon again.
I can wait for the summer! I’ve been in an excellent mood for the past few days because the weather has been wonderful, sun is shining and you survive outside without a jacket. On top of that my university work is going really well. Attila told me that Stefan, he is my master, has started to study English so that he can communicate easier with the exchange students. That’s so sweet! So life here is as beautiful as ever and I’m very, very happy (one French guy might have something to do with it too)


On Thursday we celebrated Bjorn's birthday with icecream. We went to his flat where he lives with some Hungarian man. The flat use to belong to his grandmother so we found some weird stuff from there... Really cool bags, glasses and clothes as you can see. After that we went dancing in Csango, the place I told you about earlier. Finally I engouraged myself and went dancing. I haven't had that much fun in ages! And it wasn't that difficult, except for Andrea and Fergus (you can see them 'dancing' on the video clip)

On Saturday me and Andrea went to this quite famous Hungarian restaurant called Menza. We sat there for hours and drank Martinis with olives. Very sex-and-the-city. Menza is really cheap and the food excellent. Once again I was amazed about the things you can find from this city. Budapest never stops surprising you.

On Saturday we went to little China with Fergus, James, Haley and my other half, Andrea. Little China, or Jozsefvarost Market like the local people calls it, is a market at the east side of Pest. The market is famous because most of the hawkers are Chinese with Romanian helpers. They are using the Trans-Siperian railway to transport huge variety of all kind of stuff, clothes, food (I’ve never seen that much fish in my life) and fabrics from China, South Eastern Asia and Eastern Europe. All the goods are sold at knock-down prices, but of course the Puma shoes there are not actually Puma shoes… Annuska, we have to go and visit the people there. You might learn something about train travelling in ;)

The feeling there was quite random, like I said it felt like being in China. Only thing was that most of the Asian people I’ve met during my short life has been very friendly and nice but there they were rude, cocky and sososo important. Yeah, I’d say it was full of Chinese Donald Trumps selling fakes.

My sex-and-the-city weekend didn’t end after the Martinis. After the market Attila took me to see a fashion show. A friend of his, Tuan, exhibited his clothes there. Tuan studies fashion design in our university but is having a year off because his business is going so well. He is spending this year just to build up his showroom and doing his designs.

Otherwise life here is pretty much same old, same old. I’m getting ready for our first big presentation, which is held in the end of March. We need to have three different designs for that and I have them all. Now I just have to finish the details and do the drawings.

I still don't know what's going on with the missing poits.. But Caroline, from the exchange office in Maidstone told me not to worry too much about it.

Oh, I almost forgot! We had our first Hungarian lesson on Friday. Oh my good is all I can say. First of all I think the teacher learnt more English than we learnt Hungarian. She didn’t speak that fluently and for specially English people it was hard to understand her. The lesson lasted only for an hour and during that we went through Hungarian alphabets (did you know that they have 14 vocals) and numbers. Crazy!

Viszontlatasra!
