These.Days.in.Budapest.
My days in Budapest are winding down, with just 3 weeks to go. It really is GO-time with school work, and no more travels for me until the end of term.
Still having some fun though here in the meantime when I can. Climbed to the top of Gellert Hill the other night with a bottle of wine and enjoyed an incredible view and some good conversation with a lovely German girl. Just yesterday after a home cooked meal by yours truly (which admittingly hasn't happened a lot lately) with some good company, had a few glasses of wine at a cool little pub and then continued a good talk (long ago interrupted by an angry croatian kid) with my finnish buddy Parre . We found out that the market is open at 6am and will serve you a big cup of some bad wine for just a dollar. Included free is a nice headache later that afternoon.
I still have some of the city of Budapest to explore- like statue park, and going to see a cheap opera or hungarian rock-opera. (that's the one the cool kids see). The riots and demonstrations here have really quieted down. Until a couple weeks ago there was still a stage set up outside parliment and tents along the grounds with peaceful protests and speeches every night. But now the entire block and square at the parliment buildings has been gated off with rendorseg (magyar police) patrolling 0-24. The people are still pissed off, and if nothing happens by the new year there will surely be more street riots.
Still managing to keep up with major news back in Canada thanks to cbc.ca - I don't know what I would've down without my trusty source especially when I was in the USA. Good to know Sadaam was convicted and Quebec issue is up in the air again.
