so, my last night in Budapest I went out with a group of people from the hostel. nice groups, but the club wasn't that exciting. even still, stayed out till 4:20am. had to wake up at 6:20am for our train to Sighisoara... so not much sleep, but tell you what, it was a great sleep!!! the train trip was about 7hrs long and for most of it i saw the inside of my eyelids. but when i was awake and not reading, the countryside was beautiful. forests and hills and fields of veggies. tori told me the hungarian side was much flatter and more barren. sometimes when we approached the villages when i looked out, i was quite shocked at the buildings. i am not used to the architecture - barren concrete buildings with half the windows missing and kids playing in the dirt out the front. i guess it is just a different way of life that has been formed by very different times and experiences.
So, today, wandering around Sighisoara, the birthplace of dracula. his birthhouse is now a cafe/restaurant, but had to visit it anyways. we are trying to figure out the culture here... influenced by russia (or at least the cyllic languages {if that is what they are called, pardon my ignorance}), germany, hungary, sounds similar to italian.
it is a beautiful town with a great slow pace, and a wonderful mish-mash of architecture. well, instead of looking at the differences in computer screens and keyboards in different countries, i should experience the nature and city and people.
off to explore and practise my english (i am well tired, but it's beautiful here innit)
love youse all,
deev
