party in the park.

“Fush!” “Run!” exclaimed Hungarians and Americans in unison.  Tonight, I helped to organize a “Party in the Park” for Hungarians.  It was a day filled with preparing, baking, and organizing for the event.  For 4 hours in Varosliget Park, cultures united together and language barriers were traversed to have an enjoyable evening learning new games such as Ninja tag and American Football. It was a great night for everyone involved!  Football concluded with smiling faces and a line up of handshakes all exclaiming “Szeb Zvolt,” or “Good Job.”  Several of the Hungarians stayed after the event to help clean up and even ended up taking the same bus home.  Just before getting off at my stop, I said “Hallo,” which is in fact rather confusing because it really means “Goodbye”, when one of the Hungarian girls surprised me with a traditional Hungarian goodbye of cheek kisses, called “Puszi” in Hungarian.
