Commie Trains and KFC

Today, we had the choice to ride the "children's railway" to the highest point in Budapest, or to stay in the hotel and study for the final.  Fred and Nolen chose the former option, Kendall and Henry, the latter.  Since the former is much more interesting, we will write about it first.

The Train Ride
Before leaving, Fred bought some delicious donuts at a fancy "Donut Library."  Then, he and Nolen met in the lobby with Bruce, Paul and Brendan to depart.  They took the metro then the trolley to the train station, where they met with Emese's son Viktor, who is a youth leader at the children's railway.

He explained to us the history of the children's train program.  It was started by "the reds," but continued after the fall of communism to this day.  The rail system is operated entirely by 10-14 year old children, of whom there around 500.

After buying our tickets, we got on the train and rode four stops.  During the ride, our 12 year old conductor punched our tickets, announced stops, and scribbled messages in the window frost to communicate with his conductor comrades.
We've got tickets to Ri-ide!

After getting off, we hiked 1km to the highest point in the greater Budapest metro area.  There, we found an old tower that you could climb to the top of to see the entirety of the city spread out.
We looked around then took some photos and a chair lift down to the bus station.

Unfortunately, Fred and Brendan did not realize there was a safety bar that could be pulled down, and endured the whole ride clinging for dear life to the side railings, (the absolute madlads!!)
The smart ones, safety bar down.

Nevertheless, we all arrived safely back to the city.  Fred and Nolen then split from the group to grab an early dinner at a Hungarian eatery.  Afterwards they returned to the hotel and caught up on their studies.


Kendall woke up at 10:30 after a long night of studying.  His day was somewhat less eventful, but he got a lot of good work done.  For breakfast, he went to the chocolate factory to get a sausage croissant, one of his favorite meals.

While there, he discovered that they had free Wi-Fi, and took advantage of this to review Euler's theorem, one of the many difficult topics on Tuesday's final. For dinner, he went to Big Soup, another one of his go-to restaurants.  He tried the miso soup and sesame seed ice-cream on a waffle, both of which tasted great.

Now he plans reviewing more for the test, hopefully with minimal procrastination!

Henry ate KFC, studied and watched Netflix.

I work as a nurse by profession, was earning a little bit okay $3400 monthly, with my two kids I decided that I need to invest, the taught of my investment came after I meant a guy online who makes me feel comfortable and always talk me into self-employed business, I decide to always seek for his advice and he gave me a broker site where I can invest and have profit within a short period of time, I do really trust him but after I invested into the crypto site I discover he was behind everything and I have lost all my savings to him without knowing how he gets into me and lure me with his sweet fuckin words, he ruined my life and I couldn't be myself anymore. So i decide to seek for help, omg... any attempt i made i get more scammed couldn't figure out who was real and who wasn't and at the end of it all i came up with a decision that nothing on the internet is real again. after 2 months i gave up on recovery the money i sent to broker site by bitcoin payment which is up to $65,992 i was on Spotify trying to get some lonely songs for myself  when i came across wizardwilsonsoftware (@) Yahoo.com (.) , it sounded real but i was scared to contact him cause it seems i'm not just lucky with making money on investment maybe i had to work through out my whole lifetime so i ignored but i was in a worker meeting when a discussion lead to bitcoin scam and i heard one of my co-worker saying wizard wilson got her funds back and i ask her how she reached him and she gave me this WhatsApp (+1) 807,700,3319 i reached out to Wizard Wilson immediately i got home and we talked for long and i decide to put him to test, to end the whole story, i got more than what i loss on my new blockchain wallet, i was scared at first until he explained to me, a big thanks to the only real recovery hacker online and that's wizard wilson who i have experienced his magic wizard actually.
