Medieval & Summer
Just a few words about the past one week.
SUN finally started up. Last weeked we did the student registrations at different hotels. I like it big time as this is the first time I can physically meet all those people I've been corresponding with for about 6 months. It's good to see a real flesh-bone individual behind a name. They're usually cool, arriving with overwhelming excitement and enjoying those 1-2 weeks they spend here. I also got to have a nice discussion about spiritual things with our new intern, a Bulgarian college student from Switzerland. First I was a bit hesitant to tell anything specific about my beliefs as I noticed that many people have hard time accepting things which do not fit their conceptions. But she kept asking about things and finally it turned out that she is very open minded and that we share a few interests. All in all, she's cool and in the office she can work like a madman :) she's been a great help for us.
On Monday we held a Welcome Party in a conference center for the newly arrived students and faculty - it was very pleasant. There was a short opening speach and then a Hungarian band gave a taste of some Russian jewish music. Then we all rushed up to the standing reception to stuff our bellies and afterwards it was partytime. The same band made sure we enjoyed the rest of the night. They were awsome. We all danced different folk dances. Since I had four glasses of wine before that, dancing was not a problem for me. Usually it is - Although I am musical, I tend to be shy when it gets to dancing publicly. This is something I brought from my childhood. Anywaz, I don't know how but I got into the middle of a circle and had to show what a Hungarian folkdance is like. It was cool, they all applauded for the rhythm :).
The party was good but too short - it ended at 10 p.m. That night I decided to stay at a colleague of mine as I was too tipsy to take the train alone.
The rest of the week was a bit calmer than before.
This weekend the B-day party of the Dalai Lama will be held in our centre, so I'll go there early Saturday morning to supervise some archery, and be back in the evening.
And then if I will still have some strength, I'll go to Visegrad on Sunday for the international Medieval Palace Games. It is organized every year and is a great success, a very popular event. I love Medieval age with all its arts and culture.
Hungarian horseback archers - I love this kind of warrior guys - they make me melt all-over :) Well, okay, I admit: all old-style warriors do :)
