pictures of the town - round 2
another little tour of my side of town...

this is down some alley. i thought it was quaint and precious.
even the duplexes are cute!
i was walking around jamming to some tunes with my iPod and camera.
i got off this (number 10!) bus in the late afternoon. i think there were 40 people on it. i had to push and shove people out of my way to get off at my stop. i only did it because once i missed my stop and rode the number 10 all the way to germany or something because it took about 45 minutes to get me back to my stop.
there are statues everywhere.
this is the roman catholic church and its cool fountain.
aw, these little old people let me take their picture! the guy started smiling instantly as soon as he knew i was going to take his pic. most hungarians don't smile a lot, even for pictures. old people smile even less than other hungarians. so this guy was the highlight of my day. :)
ok, this is that mall i told you about. the one where there are two buildings connected but you can't go down from all floors on both sides. for instance, if i'm on the third floor on the right, i need to cross over to the left to go down a level. then back to the right to go down another level.
twilight at the city center crosswalk.
oh, this is the "cooler shops" and department store part of the city center. there's even a mcdonald's over there. ooooh.
i pass this statue and park whenever i walk around school.
it's fall around here. these sweet little trees are being stubborn in forfeiting their leaves.
another statue across the way... i wonder who these people are!
when i'm walking to school i look for the green building and that's how i know when to turn.
