Last night a couple of boys from the program hosted an absinthe party. No green fairies sighted, but a nice headache this morning. We researched absinthe before we left and discovered that it really has no hallucinogenic properties to speak of... but the forbidden will always fascinate us, so the green we did drink!
I'm finding more and more that Budapest has become like a giant residential college campus. Some people live in central Pest, which is like Platt-Howard: the most desirable, the most centrally located to everything. Buda is like Copeland, close to everything, but far enough away and confusing enough that people rarely come visit. There are others who live further away, like they live in upper Forest. Having their own fun and venturing to other dorms instead of expecting people to come visit them. And we all go zooming around the city on the metro and become better and better friends. It's like freshman year all over again!
Now I'm off to go to a supposed communist pizza parlor in the Buda hills with some friends.
Also a reminder to myself: do not get knockoff batteries from Indonesia. You will have wasted 500 ft just for your camera display to say "change the batteries" before shutting itself off.
