worst fokhagymaleves cipoban ever

well, john and i just got back from saying "goodbye" to franziska at the bus station. i'm going to miss my german neighbors. even though i know that i won't be seeing these people ever again (within all probability), my mind can't seem to grasp that fact. it's still thinking, " yeah, okay, bye. see you monday." i said "bye" to a lot of people last night. it's really been hard with several people, like we must have said "bye" to each other 4 or so times because it was so hard to let go. . .

yesterday, instead of traveling to Pecs, we stayed around town and went to a bath. it was so worth. i've almost completely lost my initiative to travel. i'm sure it'll return quickly once i get back into the swing of things, but as for now, just take me home. i'd type the name of the bath, but i don't know how to spell it. it was so great. there was a large swimming pool outside and the water in it was 38 deg C (100.4 F) and of course, the air was somewhere around freezing. there was so much steam coming off the water. at times you couldn't even see the edges of the pool. it was one of the most beautiful things i'd ever seen. i also heard more english yesterday than i have in a very long time in hungary. i think it was possibly due to it being saturday and close to christmas. i met a guy from california that's been working in Georgia (asia) recently and a couple from australia and scotland. we sat out in the pool for about 3 hrs. it was way better than walking around some city in the freezing weather. i was uberpleased.

went to have cheese soup for the last time (and so i could get a picture of it). yikes. it was so garlic-ie that i couldnt finish it. ugh. even coke didnt help. i've been through 2 pieces of orbit and i'm still tasting it.

i'd like to publicly apologize to todd for my comments about work. i mean, what can i say? i've never even had a real job! everything thus far has been me goofing off for 8 or more hrs a day and somehow getting paid for it. therefore what could i possibly have to add to such a "discussion" about employment. the answer: absolutely nothing.
