My adventures!

Well, this week it has been cooler weather wise. Today I was actually cold while sleeping and it was great. On Monday, I was coming home from language school and got on a bus that I thought would take me home. However, about 1/2 way through my ride I sensed that I had never been there before and I realized that I was not on the right bus. I decided to stay on and see where in Erd (the next town over) it would take me and if I would know where I was and could catch another bus. However, it proceeded to stop somewhere in Erd, that I had never seen. I asked a couple bus drivers if the bus would go to Diosd, but I don't think that they understood me and I don't think the buses did go to Diosd. So I called one of the other teachers from my school and told him where I was and asked if he could try and find me and pick me up. His wife had just arrived home from taking graduate classes in Germany, but he said that he was on his way out and could help me out. I was concerned that he wouldn't be able to figure out where I was, but thankfully after about 20 minutes he showed up. My heart was so relieved and I learned to really check out which bus I get on. Well, that's all for now.

Had a great time in America!

My time in Illinois was really fun. I was able to enjoy my family and dear friends, as well as drive a car and drink rootbeer. It wasn't that hard to go back to America (because I've always lived there), but the biggest culture shock was that everyone spoke English. It was great to be able to understand and to be understood. That is something that doesn't happen everyday here in Hungary. I have learned to listen and be quiet more here, but ones ears to perk up when you hear english from anyone on the bus or the sidewalk or in a store. Comprehension is a gift, not always a given.
