After an afternoon for the pratical stuff, one raining, windy, cold day (the weather was pretty bad, I was feeling like in Autumn, on contrary to grenoble where it was sunny), I wanted to discover the city. As you can imagine it doesn't make sens to walking to visit Budapest under the rain as I will be here for 2 months.

Well ok, let visit some friends...

At first I wanted to go to Belgrade to visit Milos, but he replied to me that he wouldn't be there. Next option, I have a friend, Anca, in Timisoara, Romania at 5h of train...

After having missed the friday train (nothing serious but this is another story...), I took the satuday train for a 24h visit to one of my BEST friend met in Greece... Let be crazy !

Train
Like in many countries, the train is divided in compartment of 6 travellers.
I was the first next to the window, when a huge group (36 as far as I know) of retired people arrived. It was really funny for me as I was just smiling all the time.

I was trying to learn so Hungarian bases when the woman in front of me noticed this strange small book "Le Hongrois de poche" (Hungarian in your pocket). I was really surprised but this old woman (~70 year old) could speak English!!
She was really nice and told me that she knew also Spanish as she spent 33 years in south America and 2 years in USA.
After that she also helped me to organised my future trip in Hungary by telling me where I could go, what it is worth to be seen.

Timisoara
Finally I arrived at ~17:00 (local time, ~16:00 Hungarian - French time). It was somehow strange to be at Anca's place so far from home! After a drink in the main square of Timisoara, we went to the countryside in thermal baths with some Anca's friends.
It was my second time in thermal baths, but my first in such brown and "smelly" water.
After a pancakes party, we went for a while in a pub.

The day after we went for a walk around Timisoara, which is not a such big city but with some nice places...
Pictures soon online :o)

Romania
What I saw from this country
-the language : not that strange, actually close to French
-the roads : good roads don't exist in Romania... a lot of holes everywhere
-the currency.. I was really feeling rich... I changed 10€ into 360 000 lei!!
-the gipsy : the center was full of gipsy asking for money... all the way are good: kids asking for food, a one arm man asking for money at a train stop, or old man pretending to be a policeman (at the boarder) to ask for passeport and how much money I had...
Those gipsy are worst than in Grenoble but nothing wrong happened to me...

And now...
At 12:00 I should be at the factory, for my first working day...
The summer is back, I hope I will have more interessting things to tell the next time!!
