hungary!


some of the pictures are from facebook so they're not that great.


we slept in these small bunk beds in the train and this is how we looked like upon waking up.






from the train.. i think this is already in hungary. if not, then austria.


this kept us sane..


nico showed us some card tricks... he really was just annoying everyone.


budapest! we had a short stopover until we had to hop on the train to karcag. this is cyril.


me, lea, anshul


we bought a porn magazine for samuel (he's extremely religious).


on the train to karcag!


you're not really supposed to smoke in the train, but everyone did it anyways so it was tolerated at times.


but if we had a stop, we'd go out.


janique and franziska


cyril again


him wearing my sunglasses and playing the guitar


but i got to wear his sunglasses in exchange


karcag


my host family - we all stayed with hungarian families. it was pretty tough because the parents usually couldn't speak english. also my host sister was really shy and hardly talked so it got really boring at times.


after arriving, i took a shower and rode the bike to town with my host family. this is the town hall.


statue from the first world war in front of the town hall


me and my host mother by the statue


then they showed me the local museum (it was such a bore).


every night we'd go to this bar


outside of the bar


samuel (the religious guy) with jägermeister.. i told him to order that.


luregn, cyril, marco, and i took absinthe shots.. dsklgf.


ludwig (this hungarian guy who's been to switzerland a few times and speaks swiss german), lea, anshul, marco


cyril (he doesn't like normal pictures of himself) and me


me, cyril, lea, sophie (anshul's host sister), anshul


anshul fell into the fountain (he fell again the next day lmfao)


our reaction to anshul falling








the bartender






having lunch at the school canteen


we got to talk to the mayor of karcag


at the train station in karcag, before leaving for budapest.






debrecen




the church in debrecen






view from the church's tower (north)


view from the church's tower (south)


view from the church's tower (east)


pole dancing in the tower lmao


playing video games in debrecen's mall


university of debrecen


the whole trip was about taking silly pictures






inside the university






hortobágy puszta




we went to these people who live traditionally (guy on the left) and next to him is the hungarian (only she's really from the ukraine) teacher who showed us around karcag, debrecen, and the puszta.






we rode on carriages to the "lake" and back


at the lake


they made a show where they reenacted fight scenes




later on they picked some of the guys from our class to participate


luregn and cyril pretending to fight lmao


i think this goes without a comment..


some gypsies were selling hats, whips, etc.


budapest


we went to the parliament and talked to one of the leading politicians (in the opposition)




the crown (we weren't allowed to use flash)


a model of the parliament made out of toothpicks (or matches?)


our class with two of the most important politicians in hungary (the woman in white has the second highest position)


by the danube river




we finally found the time to put the porn magazine into samuel's backpack.


we were all pretty annoyed because we kept making a circuit thanks to our teachers.


but we finally reached the restaurant after a while and the food was fantastic!


the next day we went to the chinese bazaar, where you're not allowed to take pictures because of some illegal stuff being sold apparently. i only bought cheap perfume though.


then we got some time to explore budapest i guess, and we posed with this statue in front of the operette house.









janique, lea, anshul, and i also went to a photographer and got our picture taken (lmao it looks like a family portrait), i think i'll scan it sometime.



in the train back to zurich! anshul bought a hookah at the chinese bazaar...

Does the kid on the right have two different colored eyes?? Cause in every picture he's in the right eye is red, and his other eye is blue haha.

Either way, looks like an awesome trip! I'd be curious to go to Hungary, since I'm Hungarian and all hahaha.
