When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel.
- Harold Kushner

• Upon leaving Ferihegy airport, it gave me a chill and unbelievable excitement. I was on the bus with Sneha and saying "I cannot believe that I'm actually back in Budapest and that you're here!" " It doesn't feel like I'm in some European city for holiday - more ilke I'm coming home, maybe because I've been here before."
  
• I kinda forget how sucks services are in Easter Europe, more specifically Budapest. Well, I suppose the people here are quite depressed and bitter about the war. Although arguably I know a Hungarian friend who is just honey-dripping sweet.
  
• The city never cease to awe me with its building architectures. The really nice sunny Autumn weather also contributed to the mood.
• Walking along Andrassy ut a UNESCO world heritage site and they were closing the street down as they have a few events along the street.
  
• Searching for the cafe along Andrassy for the cafe I went to the last time to eat Somlói galuska ("SHOM-LO-I GAL-OOSH-KAH"). Couldn't find it - then our mission slightly changed to find any cafe that serve the dessert. Hmm, funnily enough not all cafe serve the Hungarian dessert. Finally found it at Cafe Vian and it served excellent Somlói. (Yum!)
  
• I was supposed to sleep on an air mattress, lent by Sneha's flatmate. BUT, there was no pump to blow up the bed. And I, for certain, will never blow it up manually. Ended up sharing bed with Sneha. Oh well.
  
• Met up with some SELTI people on my first night for a pre-town drinks. It made me realise how much I miss *that*. Just hanging out, chillin' , drinking, talking about random things, then head into town. My jetlag and feet gave up on me. I know I'm gonna regret this for the rest of my life, folks. Sowwie... :(
• During this time as well I realise that my beer-intake capacity has dropped quite significantly. I cannot even finished a bottle. WHATT?!
  
• The corruption there is as bad as in here. Approached by some sort of authority and was nearly fined for breaching the liquor-ban area. Lucky expats! Sneha got reaaaaally pissed off though. How dare he, eh?!
• Went to KFC to get a bucket with James and Ryan. It's a tradition and though shall not break tradition. My capacity for the finger lickin' stuff has dropped quite a bit.
• Did the most stupid, ultimate idiotic thing I have ever done in my whole entire life perhaps. There you go my 80 Euro, gone in 60 seconds. James and I are not the people with much sense apparently. Hehehe... lesson learned, never again.
• Did the Danube River cruise with Sneha. Budapest is still as pretty at night and even more so from the river. A very romantic cruise indeed .... and Sneha was the perfect partner at the given time :) Hehe...
