Another Update: A lot has happened, so I'll try to give a brief summary since I have to study my Hungarian words. On Sunday, we attended an English-speaking Church of Scotland. They fed us a meal afterwards! Nice people. We had a little interaction with Hungarians. We then went to the supermarket, Auchan. On Sunday evening, I went an adventure with friends Liz, Liz, and Stephanie. We ended up wandering up Castle Hill and to the Fisherman's Bastion. As we were leaving, a choir started singing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" in a language different than Hungarian and English. They then sang "How Great Thou Art." That was a pretty awesome experience.
On Monday, the group went to register at BME, our host university. Later, I ended up going with friends to a pretty sweet restaurant called Szimple. The food was good and cheap. It only took us 90 minutes to find. Yeah, we seem to be pretty good at not finding where we want to go. Hey, at least we're seeing/walking around more of Budapest.
This morning, Stephanie, Sarah, and I found a excellent coffeehouse (Central) with no problems! It involved riding Train 18, transferring to Tram 4 and then transferring again to the blue metro line. We were pretty impressed with ourselves. At two today, we started our Hungarian classes. I'm pretty excited, but we'll have a quiz everyday which I'm not as excited about. I have a lot of work to do...
After class, I went with Liz to Auchan. Unfortunately, we got on the wrong train by accident. The mistake cost us probably at least an hour of our time, but we did find a pretty awesome park. :) We did some walking, more train riding, and more walking...
Although I haven't been eating too much food, I've been eating SO much chocolate. We've all been enjoying our Boci and Kinder chocolates a little too much.
Tonight, we aren't really doing anything. I'm excited for that since I wanted to catch up on my blog as well as study some specific words we learned today.
It was interesting to learn some additions they have to their alphabet. I've been having fun reading Hungarian words around town.
Another thing I did today was try to get some allergy medicine! I went to the patika (pharmacy), but they didn't speak Hungarian. Therefore, I'm not sure if all they gave me will work.
I'm getting along with everyone which is excellent! We're already talking about a day trip for Saturday to Eger which is in the Northeastern part of Hungary. I am super excited.
Ok, I'm done for now. Time to start studying!!!

I'll leave you with four pictures - one from the last four days (and people pictures to come!!).
