In the afternoon, we took naps, and went shopping for food. A bunch of guys and I all got spaghetti ingredients which we are still eating. It was too much spaghetti. A facebook messenger group was made for the whole calvin group communicate when we had wifi, but I stayed in that night. The night life of the students who go out late is not my style.
On Sunday, I went Danube International church with some other students at the recommendation of someone, I don't remember who. It was a relatively contemporary church, probably about 150 people at the service. They have a dedicated part of the service to welcoming newcomers and saying farewell to people leaving, they passed the mic around (one person spoke for our group). It seems a church full of people coming and going.
The afternoon was more naps, I checked some emails, read some news, and studied the quizlet flashcards another student made. I had to get to bed early, as I was in the first immigration group the next morning.
Monday morning, I got up early, and left for immigration around 6:45. We met up with our immigration guide at 7:30, traveled a while to get there, waited in line, and eventually got to our appointment, in which they checked the paperwork we had previously filled in. It took a few hours in total.
Afterwards was another language lesson, some useful common phrases, and the basic numbers. I really struggled with the phrases; even a week later I'm still learning them. I stayed in that night, studying and relaxing.
The next morning was another language lesson. The second group went to immigration; I went out somewhere that afternoon, and probably did some shopping. That night the whole group went to the Hummus Bar. Lots of food centered around hummus. It was okay, but when I tried to give a 10,000 forint bill, my change came back 5,000 forints short. There was some discussion, but they claimed they gave it to me, so I couldn't get it back. That's about $18.50. So that kind of sucked. I did get a few nice pictures of a square, before we got gelato.
The gelato was really pretty. The shop-minders scooped it so that each scooped looked like a petal, so it was like an ice cream flower. I forgot to take a picture of it. :( I got a medium, which was three flavors/rows of petals. I got oreo/chocolate/oreo. I didn't like the chocolate, but the oreo was pretty good. That was it for me for the evening, I went back to the dorm to sleep.
Sounds like it will be an awesome time!
