What main languages are spoken here?:

Every day I am surrounded by countless languages. I mostly hear Hungarian, but I have also caught German, Russian and Italian. I know other common langauges are Serbian and Romanian. I am currenly taking Hungarian classes to learn as much as I can while I am here. 

What type of money is used here?:

The main form of currency is the Hungary Forint (HUF). However, many restaurants and signs also show the Euro price since that is the most common form of currency outside of Hungary.

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A bottle of water cost around 200 HUF which is roughly 0.60 cents. Pretty cheap! However, throughout the country, there are dozens of water bottle filling stations that I am never without a full reasuble bottle. 

What was the best meal this week?:

My favorite meal was when I got to try langos for the first time! Langos is a traditonal Hungarian food that is deep fried bread often topped with sour cream and cheese. I got mine plain and it was so warm it melted in my mouth, almost like a savory funnel cake. It was almost the size of my head and I did my best to eat it all, though it would be a great food to share with a friend.
