On the airplane coming to Budapest I was looking through the duty free catalogue and I noticed something really wierd. All the cigarettes boxes and cartons had these really big warnings written on them in bold black and white print that said things like 'smoking will kill you'. From the pictures I couldn't tell if the warning was actually written on the box or if it was just put on the picture in the magazing.
Today I was walking and saw an empty pack on the ground and it actually had the warning printed on the box. It was in Hungarian so I couldn't read it but it looked just like the ones from the plane so I'm sure that's what it was. Is that a new thing? Do they do it in America too or is it just another European thing?
In other news today Shanna and I went to this cute little restaurant with one of her Hungarian friends. It was a 'pancake' restaurant which really meant it was a crepes restaurant...about 50 different flavors. Salty, sweet, etc. They had it all. It was really good. Plus we got to sit at this cool table where you had to climb up a mini-ladder just to get to it. What a great place!
Shanna lives about 1/2 mile from the Danube so yesterday we walked down to the river and met another of her Hungarian friends. It was so fun. We just had drinks (I still get excited about the fountain coke!!!) at this restaurant with a little deck kind of thing on the river but it was so cute and the kind of thing you should have when your city is located right next to a river. I never found anything cool like that in the Sandbox and I looked.
