I am typing from Anna's cosy room in Budapest. I left home around 9ish in the morning and six hours later, I was in Anna's flat in the middle of Budapest. The weather is surprisingly sunny and we are expecting it to hit 20 degrees tomorrow.
Jabi should join us from London around 5pm. Before that, we are planning on a lazy brunch and I will probably do an hour of econometrics revision for my exam on Tuesday (I thought that I was done with exams already - sigh!) before enjoying the afternoon in the city.
Anna is planning to cook Hungarian ghoulash for us - I wonder how it will turn out. 0_o ...we've just had thick green lentil Főzelék stew with sausage in a bistro. I am giving Hungarian food the thumbs up! :)
It's altogether nice and relaxed to see Anna again. It doesn't feel like we've not met for more than a year. She is now a researcher with a Hungarian social research institute doing what she likes, i.e. working with data. :)
We are missing Mariya who is also doing research for an international NGO for migration in Sofia. She was visiting Anna several weeks ago when her field research in the Central European states brought her to Budapest.
It will probably take another year before we can have another reunion. It's these moments when we notice how time passes by so quickly!
I will have to postpone my weekend call to the week. Have a nice weekend! Anna sends her regards. :)

If I am not mistaken, I have posted a picture of Anna and myself, with the caption, 'Agent Perut Kosong and Agent Poket Kosong'!
Government fed by the people
Career options
I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.

We need better tools... to cover up mega corruptions.
Prevent bullying now!
