Day 24 ( 06.08.17) Sunday
The day has finally come; the day I planned on taking the girls to Magrit Island or Margaret Island (for the English.) The most important thing for me and the kids at this place was the Palatinus water park (the largest open-air swimming complex in Budapest. Let me give you a little history. Margaret Island […]
Day 23(05.08.17) Saturday
Earlier in the week, I discussed with one of the conductors (therapist) in Nimmy’s class where I could buy some of the equipment they used for therapy. She advised me to buy some of the parts that may be difficult to get. She advised I check two shops in the same axis. OBI and Praktiker. […]
Day 22 (04.08.17) Friday
Today was Aunty Margaret’s (Wendy’s mum) last day in Budapest . Before coming to Budapest, I had been chatting with her daughter, Wendy, hoping she would come for the program.

Day 19 ( 01.08.17) Tuesday

It’s known as the Central Market Hall; it’s an indoor market. What amazed me most at this market was the way the vendors […]

Weather forecast says this week maybe the hottest in Budapest this summer. I remembered I said I wasn’t paying for air conditioning and moreover, our room faces the courtyard so it’s cool but when the weather is about to hit 40°ᶜ and above…. Well I have learnt over and over again that to every rule […]
Day 17 (30.07.17) Sunday
What came to my mind today was an image of a tired frog that lay down and said “sorry I can’t today. My sister’s, friend’s mother’s, grandpa’s, brother’s, grandson’s uncle’s fish died and yes, it was tragic. I didn’t want to do anything but stay indoors and rest. After all, I am on holiday. I […]
