- It gets dark far too early here. It's difficult to keep working and stay motivated when it seems like it's much later than it actually is.
- There are ads with women in wedding dresses everywhere. I'm convinced now that Hungarians must think you're an old maid if you're not married by 25.
- Hungarian women have a mysterious aversion to bras...trust me ladies, if you hike them up so that they come to rest above your bellybutton, you're more likely to get married before you reach the aforementioned ancient age.
- Mexican restaurants here seem to believe that when their customers ask for hot peppers, what they really mean is "Please coat my quesadilla in layers of jalapeno halves." Ouch.
- On the whole, however, food and drinks in Budapest are really quite inexpensive. I'm very much going to miss $15 bottles champagne that are actually good.
And in other news...
Our next stop will be Malta, not Hong Kong as originally planned. Flights and accommodations were both going to be fairly expensive, and spending a month on a beachy Mediterranean island that's cheap to get to and live on was just too hard to pass up. We'll even have a one night stop in Venice on the way there!
And lastly...congratulations to the lovely Liesl Yost, who just announced that she's engaged!! :) :)
