Greetings world, I have landed in Budapest!
We were 15 minutes delayed out of London due to some idiot kicking off on the bus about being asked politely to move out of the way of the doors. Safe to say he wasn't allowed on the flight!
My stewards were lovely as ever and generally seem to always like me. I had my BA log book updated and got a special sticker. I'm not sure if the Captain knew how old I was! Little turbulence and I enjoyed watching Madagascar on my laptop and laughing out loud!
I was welcomed at the airport by my buddy Kristina and her father. Her father doesn't speak English and so smiled at me. We drove into the centre of the city, Kristina told me her father was a rally driver and so was used to racing - he drove very well! We had a little small chat and her english was impressive.
I was very nervous about my hostel and the prospects of finding a shack in its place, but my preconceptions turned out to be false. My hostel is big, airy and nice. I booked a single room due to my large amount of luggage, unwillingness to use communal showers again and for security purposes. My room is big with a high ceiling. It has 2 single beds, adequate lamps and a private bathroom with WC & shower. It is comfortable and warm, with bedding provided, and wifi too obviously!
I'm looking forward to having a lie in tomorrow and then going out and exploring the city. I'm hoping to meet up with my friend Ivan so we can begin the search to find an apartment. I'm hoping it won't be too difficult to find a place, and I have seen plenty of advertisements for flatmates on the university group page for exchange students. Hopefully it'll all work out, I'll just need to be positive and not worry so much! Good thing is I'm an EU citizen and so I don't have to worry about visas or registration. I can stay here for 90 days without having to worry! You know, sometimes the EU does have some slight benefits, and I say slight because most of the time it's a pain!
