Kate and i got up early today to go to this huge market that's 2 blocks from our apartment. its full of produce stands and meat counters, bakeries and all sorts of interesting things.
we were on a mission to find some bread and once we hunted the perfect loaf down it was pretty intimidating to mumble out the one Hungarian phrase i know "do you speak english?"
luckily she spoke a little English and we were able to leave the market with some bread, meat, and cheese.
we later met up with our mentor Bogi who took us to the metro station where we took pictures for our student IDs and later we visited the university which is quite beautiful yet currently undergoing some construction. we went to an authentic Hungarian restaurant for lunch and i must say i rather enjoyed my first encounter.
i was still quite exhausted from the jet-lag but we went to the Westend which is the largest mall i have ever seen! there i learned that an iced coffee isn't just coffee with ice.. rather it is coffee with ice and ice cream, whip cream and chocolate.. a dessert? yes.
after taking a short ride back on the metro kate and i recuperated and then headed out for a bar crawl on Raday utca (one street away from our apartment) we were quite pleased to be able to buy a pizza and 4 beers for $14 , we then proceeded onto 3 other bars and had a grand ol' time!
with every new experience i am loving it more and more!

Sounds like you are having a great time. Send some pictures! It sounds very pretty and old, the US is a baby compared to European Countries.
ReplyDeleteI am already envious of your adventures! I am so glad you and Kate and getting out and about despite the unavoidable jetlag!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of food are you having...can we make it when you return!? Is it a lot of meat and such?
I hope everyone is being friendly! Say hello to Kate for me.
Miss you and love you, can't wait for the next post!
