Miscellany

Looking through my phone photos, I don't seem to have done anything particularly interesting. However I did do some miscellaneous things!

I saw Ironman 3 [vasember 3]. It was in English with Hungarian subtitles, but it turns out that dubbing English movies is a pretty common practice in Hungary. I later saw Star Trek: Into Darkness [Star Trek: Sötétségben] which, interestingly, did not have any Hungarian subtitles. Also you were expected to buy 3d glasses and then keep them for next time. How European!
Also, turns out that they do assigned seats in movie theaters. Novel!

Where have I seen this before?

I saw this guy on my way to BSM for my Quantum class. The sign reads "kiadó [for rent]". Seems legit.

An anti-smoking ad! In Hungary! What!

Went to a pasta bar. They had homemade pasta and these guys at every table. Basil and rosemary plants. So classy.

This smiling group of people appears everywhere at AIT.

Day 89: ZOO!

I went to the zoo! It's next to the circus! 
Okay, normally, I think zoos are pretty cool, but not AWESOME. Like, if you've seen one pretty okay zoo, you've seen them all, right? WRONG. Probably the difference between the Budapest Zoo and the ones I'm used to is that they care less? You will not find a "Do Not Feed The Animals" sign here. Hell, there's even one enclosure that DOES NOT SEPARATE YOU FROM THE ANIMALS SERIOUSLY THEY ARE RIGHT THERE YOU COULD HUG THEM IF YOU WANTED. Also this zoo has got some neat science museum aspects and fun things. 

They also have Bonsai trees! What!


Qian-sized tree

Oh hey there peacock, STANDING RIGHT THERE NEXT TO THE PATH

Elephant art!

THIS IS THE ROOM I WAS TALKING ABOUT
I crawled through a fake log, this is who greeted me on the other end

This guy lurked at the bottom

Getting all up in this dude's face

HI SLOTH HI YOU'RE RIGHT THERE

Lizarding it up

Look at that lizard-dragon guy. So majestic. Also the top of Skree's head.

Some turtles I guess

You will need to get a clean pair of pants when you spot the fish in this picture

How many stick bugs are in this picture? Better question: how many real sticks are in this picture? Answer: Probably none. 


They let you feed the camels! It feels super weird. Their lips are like hands. Gross.


These guys got their own little skyway
