Nice...5 months of silence. How can that happen? It’s not that nothing has been happening in my life or the world at large - far from it. Here are some items in summary, in no particular order:
- My second trip to Eastern Europe: youth camp in the mountains of Transylvania; travels in Maramures (northern Romania) in a hired VW Polo; encounters with local people
- A long-distance relationship with an amazing girl in New Jersey. I thought long-distance relationships were well nigh impossible but it is such an adventure. The advent of Skype was a genius idea!
- A loooong summer walk through Budapest, enjoying the architecture, the Jewish district, old book shops, parks and the River Danube.
- A short stay in Bremen, Germany
- Barack Obama was elected as President of the United States
- Seeing 2 American robins in my neighbour's garden. The last time American robins were spotted in the UK was in the 1960s!!
- Hungarian speeches at a wedding in Aberdeen
- A week long hiking trip at Cape Wrath, northwest Scotland
- Credit crunchiness
- Another rainy UK summer
