Hungarian Tescos

In Hungary Tescos have a whole aisle dedicated to glass candle lamps and flowers for putting on loved ones graves on all saints day - November 1st.

We've brought a few home for our dearly departed family and have had many friends asking for some brought back for theirs. The graves look beautiful all lit up at night.

I wish our superstores paid more attention to celebrating souls of the good as well as the halloween frenzied evil spirits

Speaking Hungarian

I was really surprised that I could start conversations with my Hungarian family in Hungarian. I didn't realise how many words I had, and after a few days I could begin to understand them a little when they spoke to me.

It is like when a child starts to say words for the first time and you begin to get a fresh insight into their emerging personality. I feel that they are beginning to get a taste of who I am and I am beginning to get a sense of their personalities.

I even managed to say a few humerous sentences to break the ice just like I would in England.

It was a very brief real glimpse of my dream. Can't wait for the next trip.
