To see clear how is the holidays in Hungary. The universities, moreover the faculties has a free hand to give holidays for their own students. The next week will be free for every faculties at the University of Debrecen, except of the Agriculture Sciences. Why? I don't understand why we don't deserve only 5 days. (in fact 4 days + 1st November) I don't think we really need to work more than the others. I am afraid this is again something administration mistake from our decane. It had been good for me to get these days because I am a bit late with my work. Thus I have to hurry to catch up the others.
I was listening Michelle Branch's Hotel Paper while I had driven to Debrecen. I like these song so I was singing as well. ^_^ These are especially close to me, almost in every lyrics I found something what I recognize in me and I think I am not alone with it. It was Michelle's début. I was wondering what she is doing now. What I found, it was really surprising. She made a duet with Jessica Harp in the style of country.
The Wreckers
Michelle wrote into 12 songs all of her experience with the guys and relations and she turned to another way what is much more popular! (look Jessica Simpson) I feel I lost again a singer. But Michelle still did not make a big change like Nelly Furtado. What dictates?. . . .the Fashion!
50 years before Hungary said no for the communism. They were fed up with the starvation, the surrender and the fear from the State Protection Office. Silent demonstartors went along the streets of Budapest and asking to remove the leaders from the parliament and form a new government with Imre Nagy. Hungary was crying but nobody helped her!
What is today? The sons and relatives of the killers (who made fire among the people) are the leaders of Hungary. For this reason the demonstrators who were students in 1956 demand the expulsion of Gyurcsany.
About 10 years ago I found Niina's address in a magazine. I just began my English courses and I was happy to find somebody who also was looking for a mail-friend. It was quite slow via mail but the internet was not popular in that time in Hungary. It was like this till last summer when Niina informed me about her East-European tour. She wrote me about her journey with her friends through Lithuania, Estonia and Poland. I thought it is a great occasion to invite them and present my home. Unfortunatelly we had only 4 days to see everything. (luckily the Carneval of Flowers was involved)

Last evening I got a mail from Niina, she was in Prague to watch the worldchampionship of syncronized skating. So bad, she did not read my mail before she left Finland. We were in the same town even if we hadn't known about the other. I hope we could meet in the future.
Today I finished one part of my business plan. (the animal husbandry) I plant a firm with 950 cows and 700 pigs. It was very interesting. In my opinion the only advantage what I got usage of the Excel and an ordinary pain in my back. This morning I woke up and I could not move my neck. Around noon it was so horrible and I decided to try the 'Spa' - service in my town. I had no a professional massage (since Yours, mon chéri). I have to say it was really bracing. Of course at first I had strong pain, my muscles were in little balls and I'm afraid I have a fatigue-fever tomorrow. It took only 20 minutes for 4,5 euros. It would have been perfect to finish it with a warm bath, but the swiming pool is under construction. I hope we can enjoy it very soon. The best is in winter when you get out from the outside warmbath (43 C°) and your body is steaming. I am looking forward to share this pleasure with You. ^_^
This afternoon was our last with my little car. She was a part of my life from 2003 autumn. She was the first who helped me on the roads. She executed all of my stupid requests even if it hurt her. (Thanks Clio!) She was my teacher and now I must let her.
My perfect baby
Unfortunatelly I don't need it now and it is very costly for us to have her. Yesterday four guys came and examined her carefully if she had any faults or misses. What was really unnecessary. The price was good in the ad and they liked it as well. Tomorrow one of them will come back and take her. ˇ_ˇ My heart is broken but I know I have no other choice.
This evening is a great moment for my sister. The high school organized for the first-year-students the Fox-ball. (weird to say fox. we use stork for the new students, they are so fumbling as the bird with its long legs) She was so stressed before the departure (as usually). The hardest was to find the best dress and after the long lasting make up with my Chrystalline Eau de Toilette ^_^
This afternoon I visited to the Villas Gallery. I've got a special task from the school, to attend an auction. So I went before Saturday to check the objects and collect some datas. I found beautiful silver plates and folks with a pretty expensive price and also there are old-fashioned commodes from nut-wood with gentle decoration.
These are my favourites:
Toldy againts the wolfs (legendary Hungarian heroe)
I put some new music into My Music section. These are my favourites. To all of them attach a special thing or remembrance. 'Csak a szívemen át' was on the radio at dawn when I drived to my work last summer. I regarded it as a sign. It is about your choice: the decision was not so hard to made it but after you are not sure. It gave me the power to know I did it well to accept the job even if my family was against it. I am afraid the lyrics with the melody only in Hungarian made one. If I am wrong, please let me know.
Last night I found an old video from Petula Clark, Downtown. I began to listen the lyrics. She is singing about the downtown what is full of lights and fun where you can forget about everything. . . And after I thought it made in 1965. It was the American life! In the same time there was nothing like this in Hungary. In fact, there was really nothing. No place for dancing and having fun. No admission for going out as you like. These time the communism was the star. Everything was under (state)control for 40 years. Fortunatelly I just heard it from my grandparents but its impact is still in Hungary. How long do we need to recover after it? Is is possible at all?
