Otkert


Ahhh what can I say about this wonderful place? It's the MOST amazing place in Budapest and our favorite place to go. This place has it all, good food, amazing decor, and the friendliest staff I've met anywhere in Europe. If you go to Budapest, you have to go here. I've been agonizing about posting about this place because it's so amazing and I don't want people knowing about it, but my kind nature made me change my mind :). If anyone wants us to take them there when they're here, let us know! (Not that you'll have a choice) :)

The Speaking Test!!!

This has been the craziest week that Val and I have experienced yet! It seems that everything is falling on the same days. For instance, this week we had everything happen! The new teachers from CETP arrived this week and we stopped by to say hi, My kids had a practice speaking test (That they all did great on!) and Val and I started our Hungarian lessons this week as well! It has been crazy, but mainly exciting!

To everyone that I haven't talked to on Skype, sorry about that. This week has been absolutely packed with things and I've had a hard time managing all of it.

The Christmas market

I had gotten out of the habit of posting anything for a while so this is very, very late. Well, you know what they say 'better late than never'. Here's some videos of the christmas market. It was amazing while it was here and I'm so glad that we saw it.
The first thing you see in this video is a stage where they held a bunch of performances. It was really great and we saw some pretty amazing performances.
This was a stand that was selling these amazing smelling things. They were delicious smelling and everyone that walked by stopped to smell them!
They even had some blacksmiths that were selling hand made crafts. They were very nice but very expensive as well.


Well, that's all for the christmas market. :D
