It has also arrived here. During the week I saw increasing amount of christmas related things downtown. Lights, advertisements and huge amount of toys in shops. I have been trying to find christmas presents for my relatives and it hasn't been that easy. I thought I could easily find things that are not available in Finland and at the same time they would useful. Also my swiss colleagues share the problem.

Yesterday a german trainee was having his farewell party in Budapest and I attended, too. First we had a beer at a restaurant while some of the group were having dinner. Then it was time to move to next place but many places were too full for our group. Eventually we ended up in a some sort of karaoke pub. I have to say I haven't spent too much time in such places but it was fun anyways.

Today I have been just relaxing and recovering. Yesterday there was some talks about doing skating today but I feel too lazy for that. Besides, skating hasn't been my favorite hobby. I always preferred skiing during school's sport lessons. But no track for skiing here...
