¡Bienvenida a Budapest!

Tengo que admitir que me resulta difícil escribir a un ordenador mis sentimientos (es una sensación muy fria...), así que pido perdón de antemano por si no doy lo mejor de mi misma...

Aunque aún llevo muy poco tiempo, considero que la ocasión que te brinda el programa de voluntariado europeo es una oportunidad que no se debe desaprovechar, por lo que de momento solo le veo beneficios. Además tengo la suerte de haber encontrado un proyecto que me llena en todos los sentidos, e intento no parar ni un segundo, ya que quiero absorber todo, recibir & ofrecer... y me gustaría seguir con este estado activo.

Creo que es demasiado pronto para hacer una valoración sobre la convivencia, aunque hoy por hoy me siento más adaptada que el primer día, y espero que la armonía siga creciendo. Siento el apoyo de mis compañeros (y su paciencia para hablar conmigo) y eso se agradece.

¡Y que decir de Budapest! Cada vez que tuerzo una esquina descubro algo que me impresiona más que lo anterior, es la capital, pero es maravilloso tener momentos en los que te encuentres sola admirando Heroes Square, notando el peso de la historia húngara, sin que ningún ruido, ninguna persona, se encuentre a tu alrrededor :)

Ahora mismo la única "barrera" que tengo es el idioma, aunque espero que con el tiempo se derrumbe, ya que como dice una de mis canciones favoritas "las palabras son el mapa de tu vida"... y sin ellas no eres nadie.

The Last 2 (new) Weeks

It was a kind of change, because many people i knowed left Hungary two Weeks ago and of course the new volunteers arrived. But i see already that they integrate themself very fast in Megallo and Budapest. They are open minded and very enthusiastic about learning the hungarian language.

And i think they coming now in the right time,because our association is planing to move into another house, so there will be a lot to do for the new place.

For myself it was a exiting but also stressfull time. You show them a part of the city, calculate the money and explain them how to pronounce „köszönöm“. The best of the day is at the evening, when we all sit in the kitchen, drinking, eating and then they talk about the complicated (funny) happenings that happened.

And about that, i hope they have more intresting storys to tell.

Impressions and feelings !

Szia ! The first time I wrote on this blog, it's surely the most complicated article to do.

Well, I will start with my first feelings here.

I used to live in a small city called "Tarbes" in the south west of France, near Pyreneas mountains. Then it's easy to guess that Budapest is totally different.

Hopefully there are a lot's of calm places too and not as much stress than in Paris. It's a really lovely place, and I invite everybody who doesn't know here to visit at least once.

About my first week here I can say I'm goodly surprised about Megallo. People there, are kind and it's a pleasure to be volunteer here.

The hungarians lessons are really interesting thanks to Zita and Ildi who are good teachers.

For now, we're living in a appartment, in Munkacsy utca, near the Heroes Square (Hösök Tere), this is a really nice area. But we're too many in this Halfway-House.. then I sleep with Matthias in the living-room..

It's not the best to not being alone even a little moment for us, and not the best for intimity too.. Hopefully Matze is a good person who is easy to live with. I hope it'll be solved soon.

I finish my article on this :

I'm happy to be here in Megallo !
