Another Day, Another Country


Not a whole lot exciting going on lately. I made it to Hungary on Sunday and have been enjoying the 'cool' weather, although everyone here keeps telling me how hot it is. Hungary is so pretty compared to Russia. Very colorful and the people are so much nicer.
Right now Shanna has a volunteer team here and we've been doing a lot of walking. Today we were focused around the largest housing block in the EU. The building you see houses 800 families. That is a lot of people in the same building.
We ran across these old ladies. They were so cute, out for their afternoon walk in their matching house dresses.
I am loving the fountain cokes but since when do all McDonalds include a coffee shop and, not only wireless Internet but actually computers where you can sit down and use the Internet? Is that just an International thing or is it in the States too? There are so many things that I don't even know about America.
And here's Shanna and me in a 'cross the street tunnel'. I don't know what they're called but it's where you walk under the busy street instead of having a crosswalk. Anyways, here they're all covered in grafitti which I find really cool but really inappropriate at the same time.

Enjoy the fancy McDonalds while you can because they are still the same gross crappy fast food places as always. Although they have made great efforts to health up their foods since that is the new thing to do... I'm not falling for it ;)

you two look totally awesome in front of graffiti....but next time try throwing a gang sign or something so it seems more "authentic." :)
