birthday with jani (yonni) and pals

once upon a day trip to eger, we met some guy on the train. i said to my traveling companions about a fellow train-traveler, "wow, he's tall" to which the guy replied, "yes, i am!" well, who knew he spoke english? he ended up sitting and talking with us for the hour train ride back to my city. he gave me his card, we all found each other on facebook, and we said we'd hang out some time. and why not?! he is an ENGLISH TEACHER, not just an english speaker! he works in another town, but lives in my city. his name is janos (yah-nOsh) but he goes by jani (yonni). he's 24, pretty smart, and funny!

meanwhile, we decided to hangout around my birthday. in fact, this saturday. here is the proof:
some of his friends met us at a bar. we sat and talked in english and had a few drinks. jani and i left for a bit to go get dinner (can't be drinkin' without eating... learned that the hard way once)
i had some hungarian palinka (fruit flavored liquor) and hungarian beer (nothing noteworthy)
the crazy one, ohhh... uh.. the one in the middle, wasn't drinking 'cause he was the designated driver. i've never had to have a DD before. great, this is what i'm learning in hungary. :::shrugs:::

me and the yawn, haha... i mean "jani"

the other ladies, edina and some name i can't pronounce

unpronouncable and tamas

we went to another drinking establishment. it sounds so trashy to say "bar-hopping"
since it was my bday (sorta) drinks were on them. woohoo!

it was nice to hang out with people. especially weird funny people. perhaps we'll do it again sometime. (ok, so this isn't my proudest post, but it really was a good fun night!)
