Day 22?

We have now finished our third weekend here in Budapest.  Although we did not venture outside the city, it was still an intercultural experience for some.  Over the weekend we ate at an outstanding Russian place, celebrated birthdays, wandered through a neighborhood, and toured one of Budapest’s iconic ruin pubs.  Others toured the caves underneath Budapest, visited the famous Szechenyi baths and hiked 23 kilometers through the magnificent Buda hills.  Unfortunately, this was our final weekend in Hungary’s capital.  It will be difficult for some of us to say goodbye to places and friends we met here.

Today in morning class we learned about cryptography.

. Unless you are a super computer you will never decode that message above. Sorry that was mean of us, so here is a joke about cryptography to lighten the mood: Two cryptographers walk into a bar…. Nobody else has a clue what they're talking about.

After we became NSA certified, our afternoon class offered us the great honor of meeting Fazekas Gergely, a professor at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. He gave us all insight into what Hungarian culture truly is, especially from a musical standpoint. We heard classical melodies from famous composers such as Franz Liszt himself. Hungary takes pride in being a 20th century classical music power house.  In fact, they named their airport after Liszt himself. Outside of music history, Fazekas claimed “Hungary has had a rich history... but also a rich history of terrible things.” This was followed by his blunt animosity towards Hungary’s president, and a few snide remarks about a certain presidential candidate in the states. Math, music and politics, what an exciting day of learning!!

Afterwards the class visited the opera house upon request from Fazekas.  Currently the house is showing Shrek: The Musical which appears more like recurring nightmares I’ve had than the 2001 film with Mike Myers.  We wasted no time in between the opera house and grabbing dinner.  After screwing up the metro, we finally ended up at an awesome Italian pizza restaurant.  There we time trialed our meal since our group of nine sans reservations had only so much time before people who planned ahead came.  

Subsequently, we headed back to the hotel which is where we leave you.

Signing off,

Syver, Sam  and Salih
