After work today we went out for a meal in the South of Pest. The meal was very pleasant, though it had many dumplings. I like dumplings. I became full of them. We also had some beers and a little Whisky. There is a lovely Hungarian expression for being ill through alcohol, that it causes “the folks to come out”. Thankfully, we kept the folks where they belong.

We talked the night away on the subject of jokes and it was very relaxed and good humoured. I think my life is improved by having people from another culture to share such an evening with. Somehow my employer will end up paying for this outing too. Bonus.
