Week 22

This week images were taken in Budapest earlier this winter of an old busker. He was trying to play a citer in the freezing cold while mumbling a song. Fascinating to watch but rather sad really. Made me wonder what kind of life the man had. I asked for his name, but he was not interested in a conversation of any kind.

-organised a folk dance night at the Bridge Guard House. 25 people said they would come, prepared food etc. 5 actually showed up, do I need to say more. Thank God people visiting from Budapest walked by, were curious and joined in so we could actually make a circle of 8. It’s tough building bridges in this town. So, I just keep working with the children. My own work is on hold till I get my new laptop and camera next week. Laptop is overloaded and camera died a peaceful death.

In the afternoon two locals who migrated to new Zealand came by. The word had gotten out to them in Auckland that there was a Kiwi in town. People seem to be talking about me alright (and gossiping) but not to me of course... I had a write up in a Hungarian news paper today as well. Quiet a happening day! I did Google search for fun and discovered that my name is mentioned on a few sites in Hungarian, no idea what they are saying or where they got their information from.

25/3 Sunday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-Keen to have a cinema experience I went to see ‘Dream Girls” out of desperation in the local cinema. Would have preferred to see Astrix and Obelix earlier in the week, but that was dubbed in Czech.
