European Me Update

So I leave very soon for Budapest. I just found out that I may be there for 2 months now, and will NOT have to work weekends. Holla! That means, I get to travel on the weekends, and I just about peed myself thinking about it.

However, I still plan to see as much of Hungary that I can. I mean, I'm practically living there now. So I bought a book with some Hungarian phrases. Not b/c I think I'll even learn a shred of Hungarian, but b/c listening to me try to pronouce is Hi-larious!

Here's some gems for you to learn--and if you can pronounce, call me.

-------------------------
Where's a campground? (No, Burke and Khang, I won't really go camping)

Hol van egy kemping? Hawl von ej kem-ping.

Can you recommend somewhere romantic?

Tud ajanlani egy romantikus helyet? Tud o-yann-lo-ni ej raw-mon-ti-kush he-yet?

I never want to see you again.

Saha tobbe nem akarlak latni. Shaw-ho teub-bay nem 0-kor-lok laat-ni.

Do you mind if I breast feed here?

Megengedi, hogy itt szoptassak? Meg-en-ge-di hawj itt sawp-tosh-shok?

Do you like thermal baths?

Szereted a gyogyfurdoket? Se-re-ted o dyawj-fewr-deu-ket?
---------------------------------------

I really like how the pronunciation help isn't really helpful. "Dyawj" = "WTF?"

This is going to be an awesome hot mess. The best hot mess. And Niki--the guy who looks like Jake G. is going with me--life is so good right now!
