OH GOODNESS!

It's been three weeks. How did that happen? The highlights? A bunch. The weather changed and now there is an opportunity to get out there.

Went to a Hungarian flea market and found a few interesting treasures. I went with my mother's friends who are wonderful people. We have the same taste in movies and music, so the conversation is always great! As for the actual flea market, It was kind of intense. Relics from a whole other world. And some from my own, including the South will rise again painting hahaha:


That Saturday night, I went out with my cousin István and his friends. His friends are going to go live abroad so there was a party to see them off. Lots of walking, lots of buses, LOTS of palinka shots. That was a rough next morning, but so worth it :)

Had a break from school where I FINALLY managed to take some pictures of my new neighborhood! I walked around about a couple blocks out from where I live. It was a calm, wonderful day and in the coming weeks I'm going to be selecting new streets/neighborhoods in which to document with photos:


As for me? I'm doing considerably well. Aside from the language I'm learning so much more. I've learned that sometimes you have to move far, far away to determine who is willing to stay in your life and who's going to give up on you. Sometimes it's the person you least expect.

That sounds really dramatic, but without this experience I guess i'd still be in Denver, oblivious to just how freaking big this world is. How it's completely possible to live a different life and all you have to do is get on the plane. And those who show you support and are interested in your journey, emotional or physical are people you should hold dear.

I've also been making new friends, and have been able to get out of the house, the weather is GREAT. Yesterday I went to Ikea where they have AMAZING food. I never would have thought haha. And of course, I chose the swedish meatballs.


And also on the subject of amazing food. The humus bar is one of the most amazing places ever:


I will try to get back into the habit of blogging more often so that I don't have to leave these HUGE gigantic posts anymore.
