travels

Sadly my time in Hungary has come to an end and the real world has started to flood in :(. I'm flying from Budapest to Paris then Paris to Beijing today and will be home tomorrow morning. I have a ton of videos (16) to upload but that's for another day. Today is for checking email and making myself tired in order to sleep on the plane.

oh man that was a long train ride. Going from Sarajevo to Budapest is not the best method, actually I think its quite bad. Almost anything would have been better than taking the one train out of Sarajevo that leaves at 7:14am goes up to Croatia, then over to Serbia then up to Hungary. 12 full hours of sitting in a cabin staring out at the countryside. To be honest the first few hours were pretty cool as the Bosnian countryside is pretty cool looking, Croatia too and Serbia but to be brutually honest they all look the same. After all its just a political boundary.

My train left Belgrade at 10:30am. I wasn't very happy about losing a day in travels from Belgrade to Sarajevo but I didn't really have a choice in the matter. I could either take the train or the bus. The bus left at 11am and arrived at 11pm the train left at 10:30am and arrived at 9:30pm at least the train was a bit smoother.

Wonderfully I happen to arrive in Budapest just in time for the last day of the Hungarian national track championships. It was a good time with a lot of good people

While in Budapest I attended a Track cycling competition (the Hungarian nationals!). On my way to the velodrome I passed by a flea market walked inside and found a neat little snack shack. I looked around to what everyone else was eating then walked up to the country and pointed in a "I want that" manner. The nice girl behind the girl understood me and whipped me up one rather quickly.

It was toasty and nice..

I think this is the coolest thing. At the Olympics they use R.C cars to retrieve the shotputs, javelins, etc. Quite smart and very cool.
