General

I actually did not smoke the whole week and have a few follower(2) on strava now lol. The week was very very chill. I had few bad dates and I still have no wifi, so I have been just reading a lot and chilling at the library for the wifi. I started reading the book erotic capital(from Catherine Hakim 2011), which Imke recomended to me and I was meaning to read for a few years now. Ah i also started to learn hungarian now. I can read it very very badly. My anki set is still in the making and I try to speak and flex with my hungarian skills to the locals and they switch to english.

uni

now everything is chill and i kinda know what to do. I am very much lost with one of my courses (basics of infocommunication, which is actually not very basic) but i might drop it.

stuff that is not

today it is officially the end of the 3rd week in budapest. at the moment i am sitting at the H.A.C.K aka the bedapest hackerspace, while here is happenning a DND game in hungarian. I would not think this is somewhere, where I end up coming to budapest.
But here we are.
the reason I am here is actually just the internet, because i sill do not have any wifi at home:----) a truly digital detox. i also kinda used all of my mobile data.

Summary

The past few weeks were very draining, so I guess it makes sense that i needed a bit of a break from everything, but I also want to get to know the city. I feel like i am not really doing enough, but I also have a few more month to get to know the city. In general I feel like Budapest has a very calming atmosphere. Even though this week i was hit by the realization of how expensive everything is. And unreasonaly so. The wages dont match the prices and it is just the reality. A few locals that I have spoken to meant that if the party is not going to change the upcomming election, they are seriosly considering moving. Even tho they truly love the city.
