Helsinki & bosom soup

Back in Pest

Helsinki was cold. I was waiting for nice spring weather but it was +1 degree, windy and rainy. Absolutely super cold. I couldn’t wait to get back to Budapest because little French bird sang that the sun is shining and that it was ridiculously warm in Pest. But of course Finland was wonderful in it’s own strange way. It was great to sleep in my own bed, see family and friends. Oh, I have to mention that Nora’s boyfriend is great… Full 10 points. All tough she can’t talk about piereskelysta with him yet. Hahaha.

On Tuesday morning I went to see a dentist. I booked my next appointment for 20th of June so that is the latest when I have to be back in Helsinki. I fell asleep there as usually. I don’t understand why people are so horrified about going to dentist. I think it is relaxing.
In the evening I saw Suvi. We enjoyed some Finnish delights all night, cider (oh dear I’ve missed proper cider), salmiakki, chocolate, Baltic herring and new potatoes (Mika on silli englanniksi?). Nora was with us too.
Wednesday was the day for the funeral. Of course it was very sad but in a good way, if I can say that. It felt like a closer and the ceremony was beautiful.
My mother’s crazy cousins were there also so after the funeral the evening was full of laughter.
We went out every nigh. What a surprise…! But nothing special happened so I’m going to save you from boredom.
I was back in Budapest on Friday evening. My French came to pick me up from the airport.

I had one of my top 10 weirdest experiences in Budapest on Saturday. We went to this club called Studio. I heard before that it is a very fancy place, the club for posh and rich Hungarians BUT I think it was more like a circus. Seriously.
They had all kind of silly performances there: dancing midgets, rocking angels, dancing devils (men with leather shorts and capes), dance group dressed up as alien characters, cheerleaders… etc.
And the people there!! Oh my God! Studio wasn’t full of the cream of Budapest. It was a mixture of meat counter and bosom soup. The experience was interesting but I definitely don’t have to go back there.

It’s quite quiet here at the moment. Many people are home for the Ester holidays. Andrea is in Eger. She just sent me a message that she broke her angle… Poor girl. Now she has to wear a splint for six weeks.

Ok, that’s all for now. I have to go cook some meatballs.

See you later!
