I'm tempted to call the past 9 hours useless because I/we got nothing accomplished, but I must admit I've learned a few useful things:
1. Never sprint to catch bus number X without first knowing which direction its going.
2. Don't be disappointed when the folks at the immigration office decide to end their shifts an hour early for a group meeting.
3. Don't start speaking English to a foreigner without first asking if they speak English ("angolo?"). Weather they do or not is besides the point.
4. Just because someone works at McDonalds doesn't necessarily mean they know what a "Cheeseburger" is. This is related to #3.
Things I would like to know:
1. What is a Rofiburger? We had one at McDonalds, but no one could translate what it was to English. If it helps, it tasted a bit like sausage.
2. When are we going to win the battle against the common cold?
I just read this & thought of you guys!
ReplyDeleteThis is the beginning of a new day. It has been given to us to use as we will.
We can waste it or we can use it for good, but what we do today is important because we are trading it for one day of our lives.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place, something that we traded for it.
We want it to be a gain and not a loss, success and not failure and a productive use of our time in order that we shall not regret the price we have paid for it...

1 :D the itinerary was perfect though :)
ReplyDelete2 sorry
3 we say 'angolul' (beszélsz angolul? = do you speak english?)
4 hehe, you should've said 'sajtburger'
1 'röfi' is a funny expression for pig, it could be translated as 'piggy' - the meal must have been made of pork.
2 soooon :)
haha it seems I'm not the only regular Hungarian reader :D
ReplyDeleteRock, I'm curious about the whole story when you learnt these things! I think we Hungarians are just a little slow (at least I am) that's why we need an adaptation period when we switch to English ;D
Sziasztok! Reni
