a few random things around Debrecen

A zillion elementary school kids got on the bus with us.  Field trip to the zoo! (I haven't been yet.)



I haven't really figured out the cuisine in Debrecen yet.  I'm proud to say that I've been in Hungary for over two weeks now, and I only had a small piece of chicken at my great-aunt's house.  You see, at Christmas every year I go to my grandmother's house near Welland, and she always cooks tonnes of meat.  I appease the family by having one piece of breaded, deep-fried chicken breast.  So my grandmother told my great-aunt Marika in Vecses that I eat chicken, but only the breast.  (It got lost in the translation some when Marika kept grabbing her bossom and saying, in Hungarian, chicken boobies are okay, right?)  So when I arrived at her house she had already cooked some chicken boobies, so I had to eat some.  Anyway, no meat since then.  But check out this wierd pizza!  I dissected it and took a picture:

Ya, those are pickles on the pizza; and peas and carrots and corn from a can.  It actually wasn't too bad.  Since then I've found out that the bakery right below my place makes tasty pizzas, but unfortunately always with meat.  I've made a running order with them, so I pick up a pineapple pizza every Friday at noon.  Yum!

This clothing store is the main competitor of "Bottom of Fashion."


A cute building.  The architecture is really interesting here.  I don't think I can wait for a blog entry dedicated only to that, so I'm going to include my favourite shots as they come in.


This is one of the medical school buildings on campus.



I love the balconies in Hungary!
