The year has almost come to a close, and my Christmas is Budapest was a successful one. Christmas morning I went to the home of my Canadian friend and supervisor at the ERRC. With her boyfriend and another Canadian friend, the four of us had a nice Canadian Christmas brunch. Later that day I went to the home of a Hungarian friend and co-worker.  Together (mostly her) we prepared and cooked a Turkey, along with Potatoes and other fixings. It wasn’t a quiet Christmas, but it definitely had a different feel then previous Christmas’ back at home. This Christmas was a slower, more relaxed one, a simple day of friends and festivities. I enjoyed it very much, and might try to emulate it next year, somehow. 2008 is almost upon me and in mid-January I will reach the half-way point of my adventure. Its all downhill from here.
