This weekend I...

-I belive Simone was less blunt about what happenned to us on Thursday night, but to be very blunt, I will start by saying, I will probably never (hopefully) find myself in this situation again as long as I live ;maybe if I were a guy I would have liked it. We were drunk and feeling a little confident so we pushed our way past the VIP security guards and found ourselves in a room full of Hungarian ballers at the "Moulin Rouge." We sat down, looked at eachother in horor, but couldnt stop watching the three, used looking blonde whores licking eachother, bopping their heads in eachothers crotches, and sniffing lines of coke off of the red satin bed's post. Guy's were getting them drunk and giving them drugs. And we were fortunate enough to see all this go down. Then we were kicked out by secuirty because apprently we didn't look like we belonged, aka paid enough to be sitting in that room. As much detail as I would like to remember and go into.

-Took the train out to the country and fed bears honey with a huge wooden spoon!!!!!!!!!
-Went to the Budapest zoo. Realized how crazy bats were. They look like monkeys with wings.
-Walked in a peace demonstration with thousands of Hungarians. Cops were in full force.

-Broke a window in my own house.

Anyway,
next weekend, Simone and I are off to Vienna to see the beautiful palaces, architecture, and to attend Europe's first ever cannabis festival. :)

Im following through and writing a second post wahoo.

Yesterday, after a full day of learning about Hungaarian history, we decided to research the depths of it, and by depths I mean, walking deap down into the labyrinth underneath the Buda castle. spooooky. There are more than 200 caves of the Buda Castle Labyrinth that were formed over eons by subterranean rivers fed from the Buda’s natural hot springs and supposedly there's evidence within the caves that suggests that it was used by prehistoric man as refuge and hunting grounds, over half a million years ago. Then manmade connectors were built between the caves by the Turks for military purposes in the middle ages. When they needed to defend Buda and the castle, it created an illusion that they had way more people fighting because could quicly and secretly chang locations. It was also used as for treasury, jail and torture chambers. I guess in the 17th century it was used to store wine, and then in the 1930's it was converted into a shelter for military hospital used big enough to fit over 10,ooo people. Now: it is used as a tourist attaction (wonderful); but you can only explore 1/10 of it. It is supposed to stretch about 10 kilometers in the Buda hills.
Anyway, it was really cool, but really cheesey at the same time. The coolest part: we got to carry around a gas lantern, ha. When walking around it is really dark, wet, and eerie. They have really cheesey and spooky music that plays, which kinda ruined it. But once you see little cellars and jail cells, it kinda becomes real. Imaginig all that shit that actually went down under there. All we could think of was like people getting tortured and how fucking freaky it would be to hear the screams of those people. It was worth going and we plan on going back, without a lantern muahahah.
It was a ridiculously nice, warm, clear, and beautiful night in Budapest. So we sat at the "twin peaks" of Budapest (we were sitting on the Buda side of the river which is all hills/"pest" is completely flat) and took it all in. The Buda side is completely quiet but from the very top, we could hear all the hustle and bustle from across the river. From there, you can see the Castle, churches, Parliament, the river , the bridges all glowing and lit up. Very surreal. The best part of that, you ask?! We saw a hedgehog. wtf, have you ever seen a hedgehog just like bopping along the side of a castle? well, I havn't, so I followed it for a little bit, and I want one now. They are so cute. :)
Then we went to Nieda, Andrew and Claire's house for tea tuesday, a weekly thing we set up. We rotate houses every week and each household hosts an evening tea for the rest. My favorite tea I must say is Earl Grey with 'a touch a lemon and a bit 'o hunny.

I never thought I would blog. My first Blog: Budapest.

(Home Sweet Home)

I have made a blog. It is pretty cool so far, you get to pick a background and stuff, so that's fun. I really just wanted to be cool like everyone else! I have too much to talk talk about my first month living in Budapest but all I can say is, people make out everywhere and I love it, not the making out, but Budapest. Budapest is divided into two different city type things by the Danube River: Buda & Pest; imagine that. Simone, Baber and I, live in a really beautiful flat on the Pest side, in a really cool district a minute walk from the Opera house; we often hear the opera singers practicing on our walks to school.The sixth district is full of underground tea houses, cafes, and "Non Stop" mini marts and liqour stores, which comes in handy, alot. We also happen to live on the street of this store called "Bush Doctor." We knew we were gonna feel at home. Tonight we made dinner, it was interesting as usual. We've taken to combining EVERYthing, as in like 2 things, from our fridge, throwing it into olive oil, onion, balsamic vinegar, worshitcer sauce, and lots of pepper. It usually turns out OK, but were usually really hungry five minutes after and then our fridge is empty again. If you would like, keep following me through my adventures.

Oh, we picked up the word for "cheers" really fast. In Hungarian it is Egesegedre, pronounced like ay-gay-shay-gay-drrrah. It means: to your good health!
