In Hungary Finally!

After almost 20 hours of travel, I am finally in Nyiregyhaza! My host family met me in the airport in Budapest and then we drove 3 hours to Nyiregyhaza. My host mom, Erika, is very kind and welcoming and is a great cook. She doesn't speak any english, but her sign language (as well as mine) is getting better by the day. My host dad, Bela, is very funny and kind also. He speaks a little enlgish, but is shy to use his english on a regular basis.

The house I am staying in is beautiful and has a large backyard. I have my own room and computer and I have unpacked already! My first day of school will be on Moday and hopefully being the "foreigner" will work in my favor.

If you need to reach me, I will check my email on a regular basis, or, for the next three months, you can send letters, postcards, ect. to the following address:

Emily Buck
4551 Nyiregyhaza-Oros
Cifra Fasor 21
Hungary

To call me from Canada you dial 003642 480754. If you are going to call the house, keep in mind that you are 8 hours behind me, and my host family doesn't speak English, so it might be best for you to schedule a time for me to be home to take your call before you actually call.

Hope everyone is doing well. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.

Emily
