Cicák, Cake, Coziness, and Culture

So Tati's amazing host family, who I told you about in my last Budapest post, wrote, composed, and star in a nationally renowned puppet show for a living. It is great and Tati and I had the opportunity to go see it on my next trip (January 25th-27th).

So Tati and I were the only people over 6 who didn't have children under 6 but that was okay. This little blonde girl in front of us was probably the most beautiful child I have EVER seen. I don't have the words to emphasize it enough but I could smile for a week just thinking about her sweet smile when she looked back at us. She was so unbelievably adorable.

As you may have guessed taking pictures was strictly forbidden ... so mine aren't so good.

So it was awesome!!!

Marcipán Cica Video Clips

Go through all 8 video clips, if you have the patience for a language that may as well be Chinese to most of you, it is worth it. It looks a little different now seeing as theses clips are at least 6 years old but it is just as wonderful now.

As you can see it is comparable to blues clues in the way it appeals to kids with bright colors, varied music, and interactive songs and questions. I absolutely loved it!!

At halftime Tati and I got a little backstage tour :)

It was a great thing to have the opportunity to see a show that 16 years of Hungarian children have loved :D

Later in the day Tati took me to a little hole in the wall tea house that was really great.

This room 3as covered in some very cool art :)

Like my socks?

My favorite was the marijuana martian ;) I am not condoning the use of marijuana children I am simply appreciating the art ... and the look on its face :)

They had some yummy looking teas

But Tati and I opted for some cappuccinos.

For dinner we had prawns *drool*

Ten we had cake for her host sister's birthday. The cake had seven (or more) and was kinder flavored :D Soooo good!

Especially when smothered in whipped cream!

For all you unfortunate Americans who don't know what kinder is, read up: 

Kinder Cocolate

After that I had the opportunity to go back to one of the best views in town (though not the one I wanted last time) while we were showing one of our new Aussies around :) I had my camera this time.

Then the next day before my train ride home we made a quick fast food run for lunch. I ordered some chicken nuggets from burger king ... in english ... oops.

Apparently they substituted a bun, lettuce, and mayo for nugget number four. Oh well :) Funny stories are worth a lot of the inconvenience they sometimes require. This one was cheap :)

Another wonderful visit to Budapest :)
