Oh... so the hose goes in the tub?

So when I’m not at school or my apartment, I tend be hanging out with the girls (Ali and Steph) at their apartment, which is mercifully above Morrison’s 2. It is the most amazing club. There are multiple dance areas, bars, and karaoke’s. Its built like a labyrinth, and has become the group hangout because its literally in the basement of the girl’s building. Actually, it is on the Lonely Planet guidebook’s list of clubs to visit while in Budapest, so you can see that I’m not really exaggerating about it. It is rather convenient, and at this point the bouncers know us, which is also a bit embarrassing really.
There are two excursions this weekend that I’m getting very excited for! We are going to Western Hungary, and the Danube Bend, both of which are supposed to be beautiful and rustic. Good thing I’ve had my rabies shots right? I’m sure it will come in handy. I’ll take lots of pictures, don’t worry about that.
Laundry! Wow, what an experience. First, the washing machine is probably older that I am, its very industrial looking. In addition, there is a hose, that if you forget to put in the tub (like I did) causes quite a mess. So I ended up mopping most of the apartment this morning… oh well at least I do not have class until one on Tuesdays. Then of course, there is the dryer. Wait, no. There isn’t! Ha-ha, I have a drying rack! Do you have any idea how long it takes jeans to dry? I sure didn’t, and then washed all 3 pairs, because I’m a genius like that. Can we all see how this is going? In reality, I’m doing pretty well with the whole living on my own thing, drying my clothes, cooking sub par cuisine… I guess its all part of the growing up experience, just most people don’t have to tackle a foreign country at the same time. Actually, it’s mostly humorous, and I’m just taking it in stride. Last night I even made myself a Chicken Noodle Helper a la Hungarian style, which by that I mean it had sour cream and paprika sauce, mostly because that’s all I had. It was reasonably good really. Also I spent my evening watching the Colbert report… Almost like being at home. It is actually my best source of news, sad isn’t it?

Hungarian phrase of the day:
Köszönöm, minden rendben van. “Thank you, everything is fine”
