First Days

After a 2 hours long flight while I admired the beautiful blue sky, I arrived to Budapest.

The plain went off, and then I made my first step on the Hungarian soil (unlikely it was raining).

I hastened to get back my bag, and find my mentor.

He was waiting for me with a little paper, “Nicolas” written on it, so I found Gergő, then we took the bus to the direction of the train station, to get the train which had been taken us to Szeged.

Mission completed, the train seemed like another era, with cabins, that remind me the decor of Harry Potter or the Anastasia.

The landscape was running fast next to the window, but after two hours, the train slowed down, then it stopped, here we come to the point!

We arrived to the station and there we found, Laci and another boy and "Boogie", after a short presentation I was in the car of "Boogie", my suitcase in the luggage rack, towards the apartment which will be mine during my stay.

I then discovered a kind of subdivision, a group of three buildings about 5 floors which are not that young...

After pushing the imposing and old door, I took a few stairs and then I discovered the threshold what I will call "home."
Gergő, let me briefly visit the place, and let me settle down, then he finished what he had to do.

My installation is finished, my bag is empty, let’s go for a visit with Gergő, then I noticed that the shelves doesn’t contain the same things (even though I suspected it) and the price of the different items and I had to convert them into Euro.

The visit had been finished, we went back to the apartment and after a few hours rest, Gergő came back to pick me up and bring me to are with bar atmosphere.

First not real night in Szeged, direction to the tram, with a bit of modernity at the middle of this place with the buildings which are really old looking.

At the end of the course route, we arrived to the bar atmosphere, this type of music reminds me of rock, and I found the "Hungarians"

Gergő gave me my first Hungarian beer (0.5 cl) comparing it with the French they are generous.

We were talking outside so I met different people, reviewing Laci and "Boogie" and even have the pleasure of speaking French with a Hungarian student from Caen (in France).

My head was turning around after an evening with full of meetings and my legs were hurting after  the long day, I found my apartment and my bed.

During my weekend that began with Friday, I visited Gergő’s apartment, I also went walking which
ended up with I had been lost.

During my walk I had to realize a few more old buildings, some cars, and the language used by the inhabitants, Szeged isn’t so different from the cities I know in France. Against of all, the streets are impressively calm there and the whole atmosphere is very silent, but when you are nearby a park, or a bar you can hear the noise coming out.
