cultural differences...

so there are several Hungarian teachers here at the school, which is great. They have helped us tremendously (as one of them told me, "We solve all your questions!") and taught us about customs and language. Today we returned the favor and explained Kool-Aid and sweet tea to Monica, the receptionist and German teacher. She was fine until we explained the amount of sugar in the tea -- and then she responded with "Oh No!!!" We decided we need to educate her, so we're trying to track down some Lipton at the big grocery store... :)

Thank you all for your comments and emails! Even though I haven't truly been homesick, it's great to hear from home!
