Welcome

Hello All!

As you know, I am going to Hungary at the end of August on a Rotary International Youth Exchange. I will be living in Nyiregyhaza, the 7th largest city in Hungary, for one year. Nyiregyhaza is a city in North East Hungary with a population of approx. 117 000. While in Hungary, I will be living with three different Rotary families throughout the year and going to Gyula KrĂșdy High School.

Currently, I am in the process of getting my Student Visa approved. This has proven to be much more difficult than expected as I now have to travel back to Calgary (from my cabin in BC) to meet with an Honorary Hungarian Consular. Hopefully, shortly after my meeting with the Consular I will have my Visa approved and will be able to book my airplane tickets. Until my Visa is approved, I will not know my departure date.

I have set up this web page so that friends and family can easily see how I am doing while I am away. I will not be able to send emails to everyone I would like, so I will keep this page updated with pictures and notes for everyone to see. Accessing this page is easy. All you have to do is type http://www.emilyinhungary.blogspot.com/ into your address bar, and you will be taken right to my page. If you would like to send me an email, my email address is eevbuck@gmail.com

If you can think of anyone who would like to know about this page, please either send me an email with their email inside, or let them know yourself.

Hope you are all having a great summer!

Emily
