Budapest

I asked the Moscow staff how early I should leave for my 9:50 flight to Budapest and they said because of how long it takes to get to the airport (due to traffic 2-3 hours) I should leave around 6:30. So I woke up early and took a taxi to the airport at 6:30 and it took 15 minutes to get there. The man drove like a maniac and there were no other cars on the road that early. I couldn't check in to my flight because I was so early so I sat out in the main area of the airport surrounded by smokers reading my book (btw...I've already finished 2 books and I'm only half way done with my trip - oh no). Finally I was able to check in and get through customs and on the flight. There was a high school hockey team on my flight which was crazy. I got taken on a bus out to the flight and kept worrying that I wasn't on the right flight because there were very few signs and everything was in Cyrillic and no-one spoke English. But I made it.

Luckily I had no major issues with my flight to Budapest or finding a taxi to take me to the office. My training went well and I got lots of work done then a few of the girls from the office walked me over to my hotel and out on the town.

We had a blast and stayed out until almost 11 and I had to wake up this morning at 4:15 am for my flight to Brussels. I'll sleep when I get home. :)

A better picture of the view that was behind me in the picture above.

Kata told me that I would have good luck if I touched the horse "there"
so of course I did....it's tradition

This sign was hilarious to me pointing to the toilets

Kata and I on the "pest" side at the square

The anonymous writer - his eyes were so creepy!

We had dinner at the "Spoon" restaurant which was on a riverboat
and it was an amazing view with amazing food.

For dinner I ate traditional Hungarian food. We got appetizers that included sausage, liver pate, and some other meats and spreads. I had goulash soup for my appetizer and then paprika veal with egg gnocchi for dinner and marzipan for desert. I was almost sick from eating so much but it was all delicious.
