Re: brace question - loose tooth to Cammie-magyarorszag

[Guest guest]

Szia Karola!

Hogy vagy?!? Remelem jol? (I'm not sure if that is gramatically

correct but I hope so except for no accents in yahoo!) I just had to

say Hi! I have been to Hungary several times and loved it! Are you

north/south/west of Budapest? I have seen a little bit of the country

side as well as Budapest and it is wonderful there.... I started

learning Hungarina while I was there too (can't get by with English

at all!) and am trying to keep up my studies of the language. Your

English is quite good. What do you teach? I'd love to hear

more.... In the meantime, Please have some finom fonott kalacs and

visit szechenyi (spelling) baths for me! viszlat, Katja

And no, I cannot imagine driving in Budapest! trains/trams/metro

are easier I think!
