Life has started...

The story begun on Friday...
All last week there was an unusual excitement at the Office before the arriving of András our new colleague. I guess in Budapest as well...
Almost all the day we were planning with Zoltán how to welcome the new-comer. A really shameful paperboard was made by us with his name on it. We were training all the day to have all conversation in English and not to say a single sentence in Hungarian so that on the way form the airport we could speak fluent English. We may do it so good that it was too much fun to him.

András' apartment is also cca 4-5 km from the Office but the opposite way. It is not 10 minutes without car... on the other hand it's nice fully equipped suterain under an elegant house.

We had fixed a little trip in town at yesterday morning. I succeeded to oversleep nicely. I just brought my clothes to wash them. On the way back I did the shopping for the whole week, so at the end I was an hour late when I arrived to him. Being a rainy day it wasn't problem. I had purchased the travel tickets in advance. Now I really enjoy trying to speak Norwegian even if as little as a couple of sentences. And it's working! Somehow this little guiding gave me so much self confidence...
We popped up to the take away for a kebab, put my car nearby my apartment and took a bus. Well we had a quite reduced trip since we had an invitation to Zoltán's family for a visit. That was very good! We become friends with the little girls very soon. There is a four and a two years old girl. They are so proportionate! We fixed at once that I'll be the babysitter during the movie on text Saturday to let the parents go out to the cinema as a couple.
I took a tram backwards cause we were drinking, of course. I just accompanied András till the bus stop at Storo then, around 10:30 PM I walked home.

This morning I woke up at some 10. I just had got out some meat from the fridge to let it defrost when Ivar called me and asked if I could go to help him and did some overtime. Of course I could. Meat can wait... I got the place by my car. I nearly found the place at once... Finally it took a nice 6 hours! Hardly had I arrived home and got myself together I had to leave, however I was late. Now the church was really full!
And finally the ice have broken! I met with Hungarian girls in church. I was close to them during the service and I heard that they aren't native English, but they had rather special Hungarian accent. When they came out from the church I came up to them and we started a very good chat. András were also at the service that made me very happy. He participated the service at the end of his trip, and he wasn't late. So by the time he came I had been chatting with the two girls. He joined us. The girls are students and won the opportunity to learn in abroad by Erasmus. They have been here for six week and will stay till the end of November. I let them known that I was in the cinema and watched a Hungarian film, and there will be another film next Saturday. I also told them that there going to be a Hungarian service on next Sunday. They was happy and surprised. I liked that I could give them my own business-card. I have been attending services for 7 weeks and I have prayed for friends at church ever since! András has very good affect on events. Life have started since he came!

This evening a bit more fun that I have learn form Zoltán about a couple from Erdély, who will come to Oslo for 2-3 days and they are looking for place to stay for that time. They are writing a book about the Hungarians who live in Diasporas all over the world. He asked me if I could help them because the have send their letter to "hunnor" list a week ago. So I wrote them and they answered in 25 minutes that I was the first one who offered them some help so far. I don't know jet how to fit to my little apartment two more people but good people can share even a little place as well!
