Releasing endorphins





Don't you just love it when friends make you laugh? The gut wrenching kind of laugh.

Tonight Nori (a Hungarian) and Anna (an American/my former roommate) and I went to a restaurant that Anna chose since tomorrow is her birthday. We had a few funny moments releasing endorphins. Anna tried to jump on this art deco cow but the shop owner came running out and said, "Nem, Nem, Puha..." Which means "No, No, it's soft or it will fall apart." I thought she was crazy for trying but we got a few photos by it anyways. Just none of Anna on top of it.

Then, when we were sitting in the car, trying to decide where to go next, there was this funny moment when Anna was saying "farka ehes" which means hungry wolf in Hungarian. Funny thing is where we meet on Sundays is a theatre called "Faklya klub" and you get the picture when you try and pronounce that one. So I was like "farka" or "faklya" what are we talking about here? Scary when it sounds like we're cussing them out as we invite them to church. Then there's another word that sounds like farka but means something entirely worse which is not even worth mentioning here but you get the idea.... I managed to say every version of Anna's "farka ehes" and still didn't get it right. Plus, I thought she was saying hungry bear. Within a matter of moments we were crying with laughter in Nori's car on an empty street in Budapest. Some things are just funny in another country.

We enjoyed a lot of laughs tonight which is always great. Funny thing is I was originally thinking I'd have a relaxing night inside. Original plan was to chillax and read some books.....but Nori came over and Anna called...you get the picture.

We really did have a lot of fun. Haven't laughed like that since Anna and I were rooming together. That girl needs to get into comedy although it was a little embarrassing when she was trying to jump on the cow.
