Over the past week I have got settled into a routine here in Budapest. I have classes a few hours everyday. The classes here are interesting with lots of discussion and not a lot of outside work. Free time is spent seeing any sights in Budapest, attempting to find food, and hanging out with the other students at ESSCA.
On Friday, my flatmates and I prepared a big meal for some of our good friends here. The Polish made a traditional rice dish and I introduced the other students to twice baked potatoes and pigs in a blanket (a long story that I am too lazy to tell accompanies that choice). It all was delicious and hopefully it is the first of many dinners that allow me to taste the cuisine of around the world.
On the weekend, I went to Szvendre, a small artist town outside of Budapest, and Visengrad, a castle on a hill on the Danube. Both were lovely and it was another relaxing weekend. When I come home in a few months it will be so weird not going away every weekend. I am totally used to life without TV and constantly doing something. I suspect that I will have a bigger culture shock when I go back home then when I arrived here.
