Weekend stories...






A week ago we went to Gstaad - the Hungaraian maffia: Andras, Eszti, Norbi, me - and the greek intern, Dimitris. ;)

The original plan was to visit the Iglo-cave, Iglo - restaurant and hotel over there, (300 CHF for a room..and they have to build it again every season...)







but than the weather was sooo great, that at the nd we didn't eat inside, instead outside, under the sun.
(I think Jägertee is something avaiable only in Austria...I've never seen in any swiss or french ski resort...)

So, we did some sledging..
Yes, back to the childhood...
But, maaan, slediging is hard... and it is very scary.. and you can not always turn.. and it can be very fast...
Ok, sometimes it can be also very slow.. and tiring...

We did 2 rounds.. it was really funny :)))


First, i was alone...




Fairy & Froggy are back



The second round was more fun, we went with Andras together, oh boy... we were fast, and once we fell a huge.. :))))


Than, on this weekend, Tompi & Enid came from Zurich to visit us... They went to the car show.. (biggest in Europe..) tried to apply for test driving, and they checked all the cars... I have no idea, how could they spend their 5-6 hours...

Anyways, than we went to dinner...

Peter, Enid, Monika, Csizi, me, Alberto(PT), Elodi (FR)


The place was ok, it is rather for cocktails.. (mojitoooo) I guess: The 3s... in plainpalais...
After we went to Scandale - for celebrating Carissa's birthday, then we ended up in Shakers... And.. of course, we had to bump into 9 other hungarians...

But in Shakers I had soo much fun :)))


Alberto was very great, I hope he'll forget what we discussed... We actually had a deal, the party in Zurich will be on me (partly)... khm... ;) well... one is for sure... the expectation now is high... :DD
Aida managed to get us free shots: uzo on flame... hahaha... Just smile to the bartender guy ;)

A few weeks earlier, we had Ravaka's graduation party :) Oh, boy! What a party! The theme was 80's party...

Aaaand... I went to a french movie... ;)

Ok, it was: He is just not that into you...

But, VF - means: Version francaise...

hahaha... Lucky me.. the movie is nto a drama, and also the discussions are easy to understand:

"Tu es mon exception!"

"Je vais coucher..." - "C'est une invitation?"

hahaha... hilarious... ;)

And, it means, that when Aida is in Budapest, I can take her to a hungarian movie... ;)

Snowattack - skiing week



As a great tradition, with my favorite ex-flatmates (everybody from UNIV211) and some other friends we go skiing for a week.

Last year we went to Gerlitzen, Austria...
This year: Puy Saint Vincent, France.
This is a small skiresort in the south of France...It takes like 8 hours from Geneva to get there... including of course 2 hours just waiting in Grenoble.
Anyways, despite all the problems I had with the train - pfff... we could not leave Grenoble because of some techincal difficulties...
And as we were stucked there more than an hour, it was more likely that I lost my correspondance to an other train...

So... guess what?
The train company decided to extend the way of my original train, and take me to my final destination...

Pff.... I was exciting some kind of a compensation, let's say, a free accomodation in Gap, or that they make my second train wait...
But this.... was shoxking.

This would never happen in Hungary.

So, finally, I got to Puy Saint Vincent (after the train I should get a bus as well... the traveling took me like 20 minutes.. in serpentie obviously... So i was very close to ... well..whatever...

When I got to the place... it was amazing: everywhere snow, and white, and huge huge mountains... oh.. loved it.. and of course Kristof and David was already waiting. ;)

The guys who I was supposed to take care of... ;)
Well... actually, it happened on the other way around.. they took care of me... cooked for me (best dishes...), helped me with the luggages, took care of me in the slopes, in the parties, even let me play UNO all day... ;)
Not to mention all the other great things, I learnt form the guys...

Guys, thanks a lot!! hahahaha...
And, yes, I know, you did all, what I should have done... but you guys were just simply...the best :)

Betti reserved a room for us, I was very glad for that too... as I defintily didn't want to sleep on the corridor... as Balazs and Farky did... ;)

Actually, I have to say my friends didn't really like the food that I brought with me... (the original, perfect cheese that is consumable till 11 February or the original, swiss Hütten Lunch with its weired smell... anyways...)

We figured out to have every night a dinner-competition, each night on e of us should cook something, and we are going to be the judges.
At the end of the night we decide, how many scores the cooker deserves....
Well, I have to say.. Kristof should have won the competition....as he cooked for us and took care of all of us..., yet, K, you should have cooked the soup on the first night...not the spaghetti... ;)

Yet, I am talking...

The one, who is such a great "leader" that managed to delegate the cooking, and let the others (Vandi&Jege, Maresz&Zoli) make us a traditional hungarian dish.
Ok, ok, to tell you the truth, I was responsible for baking the met - that means: check the meat in every 15 minutes with a folk... ;)

And actually, I did it for a greater good...

Nobody wants to taste what I cook anyways...and they shouldn't. ;)

So, we went out almost every night... ;)


Farky, Maresz, K - dancing


Ok, one thing I didn't tell you yet... Snowattack was basicly THE Hungarian party ski camp.
That means that a hungarian TV channel came with us, we were like 3000 people including some great artists (like Megastar whichever-winner Gaspar Laci..pff..and other never-heard famous "stars")
This week there are plenty of reports broadcast specificly on this camp.


So, yes, as a party ski camp... the parties were good.

K&Bandi...crazy-crazy Boogie night ;)


And... it had been snowing for like 3 days, we were worried by the end, how we gonna get back home, but, yes, it was fun!

I missed those guys, and it was good to see them again, talk to them, and experience lot of new things... I have broaden my horizont with some very funny, sometimes disgusting, sometimes tiring, but defintily awsome stories... ;)


K, Bali, Farky


I love ya all! ;)
(and gonna cry soon... ;)

Just a short one

Hello,

I am so sorry, I was not here... however, life is good, life is fun.
Actually, my life is quite the same every day, every week.
We are going to ski every Saturday: with the university for 60 CHF (for externals), 50 CHF for students you can go to France skiing. The price contains: 1 day ski pass, course and of course the transportation. So, really cool price.

I think I am getting better and better, but of course still on blue slopes. :) It's good for me.
Specially when I don't know how to turn (and stop), everybody else is waiting for me on the left side... I am just flying next to the others, straight ahead, down till the town. It was awsome... (ok, crazy) Anyways, I survived and - what more important is - the others survived too... :)
I am wondering how I will survive Austria :)

Besides that I am taking German courses (online...), and still or again looking for an apartment, nothing special.

Now everything depends on the bureaucracy, if the office cantonale de population recognizes that Hungary is part of the EU, than I can stay, if not, than, I have to leave in May.
ááááááááááá

Last week I was 3 times in the gym, and today I go again.

This weekend was great, we went out on Friday... (hilarious story... not for the world wide...however, fantastic... we planned a girls night, than Daniel joined...) He is the new swedish intern, so now at least we have a story with him, so he is more involved in our "community" :)
hehehe

Than yesterday again. :)
However, it was a short one, maybe I am getting older? :)

Or, rather what Anthony said: we are about to grow up... that's why most of the time we have dinners together, or eating together (having brunch) instead of going out, clubbing, dancing, drinking.

We had a great "house warming" party, eating rice (esides lot of other things) with special somalian sauce.. ohh.. that was HOT... :)

Watched Pick up artist...


Now, after 2 parties, I am going to let the poison out of my body and out of my soul. :)
I will go to yoga, than to the sauna and jakuzzi. :)

The Dinner:

Zermatt - Skiing weekend


Everything started with a great opportunity within HP... We can rent a chalet in Zermatt for a very friendly price.
So, why not?
Let's go and try skiing in Zermatt!!!

Yeah!!!!

4 of us (out of 6) couldn't really ski, but who cares?
Among friends... :)
With Julia we didn't even had skiing outfit... :)

So, the fun part started already on Thursday, when I got an email with the subject: Julia bought her stuff!!!!

And she managed to buy all the clothes, and everything that is needed for a "professional" skier...
Yes, but all the clothes were for children!!!

So, in the afternoon I also checked... And yes, I managed to buy also a trouser and a jacket!!!
(Who cares that the trousers are RED, the jacket is ORANGE???)
It is absolutely not important... ;)

Than the only thing that was missing : THE SKI, the boots, the sticks...

We really wanted to buy them earlier... but the shop had just closed before we arrived...
Anyways... :DDD

So, during lunchtime, we quickly went to the town (for me quickly means: 45 minutes to get in, than 45 minutes to get back to HP....) and manage to rent all the stuff!!! :)
Again, for a very nice price!
And also, we got a great deal:
We can try out the skis this weekend, and if we like, can keep them for the whole season... and the price for this weekend will be included in the "seasonal rent's price!!!

Oh...this weekend was amazing!!!!

So, after 4 hours on the train, finally we arrived to Zermatt... Actually in this town cars are not allowed to get in, only special, electronic cars...
So, also the taxis were these special, small electro-cars. :)
Funny!

I talked to them in German!!! Trinkgeld, trinkgeld.. of course :DDD

The apartment was great, even good for more people, not just 6... :)

On the very first day we had ski lessons... :)
It was very useful!!!
And the view!!!
Oh my god!!! Breathtaking!!!
:DDD

(The Team: Anthony, Manuel, Ikran, me, Emilia, Julia)


We had a wonderful lunch:
In front of us: Matterhorn - One of the greatest mountain in Europe, the most famous one in Switzerland, because of its special shape. :)


The sun was shining, it was so hot!!!
We had beers and special Swiss-German "Hubertuswurst" (Hubertus... hmm... ;)



Actually after lunch we were so well, that we didn't really went skiing.

Than for dinner we got Lasagne from Manuel.. Oh.. magnifico!!! :D

On Sunday, we tried out an other mountain... but commeon, that was killing one!!!



We also climbed up till the highest viewpoint of Europe (climbing means taking the elevator... ;)


We were crazy in the whole weekend, just laughing, skiing, eating a lot (as usual.... ;)... fantastic...
:)

One of the best weekends ever!!! :D



We decided to keep our skis, and try to go to France next weekend!!!
I am looking forward to it!!!

And... in February, I go to Austria, Gerlitzen... :DDD
