Hello!

Hello again everybody!

Just a quick update from Sárospatak. It is almost the end of the first term, as Thursday is the start of the school's autumn break. It is incredible how quickly the time has gone here. I am trying to learn more Hungarian during my time here, so far I've learned the basics, the colours, the months and the numbers. I can get around the shops easily enough here as well.

Next Monday I will be taking the bus and a train to Budapest, where I will be meeting my parents who are flying into the airport there. I am really excited and can't wait to see them!

The one thing that is funny about staying here is at the moment, the weather isn't that cold, so when I just go out wearing a dress and a cardigan, some Hungarians ask me if I'm not cold. I laugh and I say that I am a Scot, the weather is not so bad compared to Scotland! Hungarian winters in January and February are supposed to be very cold, so thank goodness my parents are bringing over my winter clothes before then!

I am also really glad that I have taken up Hungarian folk dancing. Not many people will be able to say that they've tried that!

Anyway I better get to bed, as I am teaching at the student weekend tomorrow.
Goodnight!
