Finish the Sentence: Hungary

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Hungary

My last stop in Europe during my round the world trip, my stay in Hungary was primarily limited to Budapest, but as usual I met fellow travelers from all over the world. These are all the groovy people I met during my ten days in the country. In Hungarian, groovy would be spelt “zsuszsuczu” or something like that. Non-Hungarians have country codes.

  • Facing a Bone Crusher on Prince Edward Island

    Lobsters are like prehistoric aliens with giant claws capable of crushing a man’s gonads to dust. They’re also delicious, which is why I set out one morning to pull in 300 lobster traps and stand knee deep in fish guts.

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin.
