Easter and Trip to Poland

I hope you all had a great Easter! Here in Hungary, it's two days long, both Sunday and Monday. We also had about a week off, lots of vacation time here! On Monday morning, I got the full blown experience of Magyar Easter; perfume. A group of my host families' friends came over to 'keep the women young.' Basically, the tradition goes that if a boy recites a poem and sprays a girl with perfume then she will remain young. Pretty cool, I guess, until you've been perfumed six times with two different kinds of perfume. It was very cute to see the little kids all dressed up and nervous though. Easter was pretty good.

Tomorrow morning I set off to Poland with the Rotary Club people and some fellow American AFSers. It should be an amazing trip. I really can't wait! We will take a bus through Slovakia too! OK, I'm in the school library right now and I really shouldn't be using the computer at all... Sziasztok!

That's nice! Here in the Czech Republic boys get to go about whacking girls across the ankles (read bum) with braided willow switches. This also keeps us beautiful, and adds new meaning to the tired phrase 'pain is beauty'. On the upside, we got to retaliate by chucking buckets of water at them. It's cool to read the difference in customs. Hope that all is well for you.
