Pictures of the town

________________________________________________________________________________

this is my apartment building. that patch of grass is what xander is most familiar with.

this is the mexican restaurant RIGHT across the street from my flat. the food is ok, not mexican by any stretch, but delicious still. the green building is a motorcycle store which is shockingly busy. the yellow dumpster you see is where many gypsies shop. they collect random stuff - shoes, old bags, cans, old food - and carry it off in plastic bags or baskets.

this is the street i live on and walk down everyday. it's so cute!

a typical scene: hungarians waiting for a bus. i myself am part of such a scene about 8 times a week. it's lovely.

ah! the bus is coming! this is one of the longer ones. usually i ride buses that are just a single bus. they are sometimes so full that more people are standing than sitting! people often give up their seats to old people or mothers with small children.

though this side street is just precious, the crosswalk where this picture was taken is the most dangerous one i've come across. yikes!

when i walk to school or to the market this is the area of town i pass through. i cross this street, look in all the shops, and watch people all the way there.

old people are everywhere. it makes me think of florida. hehehe

our nike store. they have the same brands we have in america but some of the styles here are very different. whatever - nike is nike.

an example of hungarian parking.


i hope you enjoyed seeing pictures of my neck of nyiregyhaza. i like this little town and its people.
