Things get better

Yesterday we went to the shopping mall and I was more interested in people watching and didn't really care to look at any clothes. I was trying to see how people my age dress and it seems to be very much like the US where kids wear such a wide range of clothing. So I guess I will have to wait for school to start to see what most kids in my school wear:)

Since I have been here I have eaten 3 square meals everyday made by mom or grandma. I do not remember the last time that for a week straight my family has had every meal together so that is something i enjoy saying. I still haven't met any kids my age:) life is good here and most days my host sister and I spend a good amount of time practicing Hungarian.

This morning I woke up to Skype -Michael and that was a great start to my day. Directly following my Skype session zora(mom) sister and I practiced taking the bus to my school. I have to be good at it because if I were to get lost I don't know how to speak to ask for help:) my school is beautiful and I heard I will get a student to bring me around the first day who speaks English well!

Did I mention it is 100+ degrees here?!?!?

Today was a 100% increase in my happiness here in Hungary. I understand simple questions (some of the time) and my family just seems to get better and better. My host mothers parents live in the house and speak about 4 words of English. It is usually silent between them and I just because we can't speak to one another and my host mom and dad are constantly translating their questions for me and TODAY grandpa (papa) asked me how old I was in Hungarian and I knew how to reply which doesn't seem to exciting but it was the first step in the right direction.

Well my ADD has kicked in and I'm done for the day:)
