man i love meeting all these people. there are so many wonderful similarities and differences between everyone. i learned form me swedish friends that their prime minister of foreign affairs was killed today from a stabbing. apparently this has happened before with the actual prime minister. crazy swedes.

i think i had a chicken crepe for lunch. it was great. however the guy at dinner tried to rip us off. luckily we had 2 guys that spoke hungarian with us. so we came out okay. i've come to realize that i wont be having any sweet tea for a while. i'm running into lots of surprises lately. particularly regarding food. i finally learned to ask for tap water (as opposed to mineral or sparkling, which are the standard) in hungarian. now i just have to master asking for a lot of ice. scott, youd hate it here. not only do they NOT give free refills on anything, but they only put liek 4 ice cubes (very small ones) if any. which sort of works out for more drink since they lack the refill. and the drink sizes are so danty. also, there are no taco bells here. but there an AWESOME pizza place a few blocks away. i had chicken, sour cream, and cheese on mine the other night.

i dont know of much else. i still cant get past the drinks.

oh man. it's really like a desert here. in the sun it's generally like 78 or 80, but at night is drops to 55 or 60. i was wearing my fleece around town tonight and i was still chilly. the wind blows really hard in the city.
