I had a pretty nice flight. The only problem was that everytime we dropped altitude, my right ear felt like it was going to bleed out of my head. To say the least, it was excruciatingly painful. But now that I'm in Budapest and have had a couple hours to sleep it off, I have regained hearing in my right ear, and have spent the morning exploring this city. I'm at a McDonald's right now taking full advantage of the free WiFi, and I can't help but notice how much nicer the McDonalds' here are, than in the states. For example, this particular one is three stories tall, and has a small cafe area (aptly named McCafe) which serves espressos, cappucinos, et cetera et cetera. My roommate has not arrived yet (I only have one assigned to me), and so I did the honorable thing and took the biggest room in the apartment. The people here are very nice, and have not tried to kill me yet (mom, you can rest easily now). It is very cold here right now (somewhere around 40 degrees) and so I need to find my way to the nearest clothing retailer. I don't have internet in my apartment yet, but as soon as I do, I will upload some pictures of London/Budapest.
Dad, The removal of the SIM card turns my phone into an excellent paperweight, so I will have to find a replacement while I'm over here.

Good call on the big room.
Hey Kyle,
Glad to hear you made it safely with only a little irritation. The ear trick...looks stupid...but works...is to put a small cup over your ear. It balances the pressure. A wise airline stewardess taught me that when traveling with babies. You can even cup your hand over your ear and it helps.
You're missing the hurricaine and a stabbing on campus today...and the Zona Zoo shirts are too big and ugly this year...its always something...
Think about a fall/spring trench/raincoat and a heavy winter - go for down or something like that.
Are you thinking in metric yet?
cheers,
Georgia
Glad you arrived safely! If anyone tries to mug or pickpocket you, give them your American Karate chop.
WOW, it's 40 F, looks like you won't be wearing much of the clothes you brought with you. Buy a knit vest and wear it over your cool shirts. Yeh, I know it's going to be cold there.
If you don't have cash to buy clothes, you can use your credit card, Tell me which card you use, so I can check to see how much transaction fee they charge.
We look forward to more news from you.
Love, mom
