Description The title says "I'm Hungarian"

My passport says so, even though my German and English are better than my Hungarian, especially when writing. Never having learned Hungarian in school, I only know it from speaking it with my parents, having learned to write in this rather odd language by myself. I haven't applied for a German citizenship yet, as up to a certain age, they can commit you to military duty, or alternative civilian service, both wastes of my time, against my will. Got an unlimited residence and work permit, so that's all I need until I'm old enough not to be bothered by outdated military relics.

What you see here is the Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest, as seeen from the Buda (western) side of the river Danube. If I were to go home to our apartment, I'd only have to turn around on the spot and walk down three or four blocks on Csalogány Street. Yes, you could say we live in a nice and central part of the city.

My first youth orchestra director was a Hungarian named Lajos Balogh. He still conducts the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Association's top orchestra in Portland, Oregon.

That's cool! I never had anything to do with music in my life so far, apart from listening to it...

Enjoying it is just as important as playing it. Music's pointless without an audience.

That's true, but I often wish I could make some myself. Got a cheap acoustic and E guitar sitting here, but all I ever managed was playing some tabs of songs I knew.

When you're busy with school, it's nearly impossible to learn an instrument unless you work lessons into your schedule or actually go to school to become a musician. I did the latter, and I'm still mediocre...

I can't even read music...

At first, I taught myself to play the piano by ear, then learned how to read music a few years later. I didn't master reading music until high school. Most entry-level guitar books teach music and tablature reading in parallel with chords.

What a beautiful structure! It looks like some work is being done to the right wing.

I think it's like the Cologne Cathedral, the harsh and polluted air of the city takes its toll on the structure. I don't recall ever seeing it withouth some renovation being done on at least one part of it.

Oh wow, always under maintenance. It's good that the city takes care of it, though.

Sokszor láttam mindenféle irányból, föleg mert nagyanyámal mindig a Kossuthról mentünk villamosal a piacra. De bent csak egyszer voltam...

Nehezen tudnám elfelejteni, hiszen otthon mindíg magyarúl beszélünk. Bevallom, k.b. ennyi is ami miatt magyar lehetnék, az utlevelen kívül. Itt töltöttem az életem 16 évét (a 20ból), és ha nem lenne ilyen német viszonyokhoz fura nevem, senki sem gondolná hogy nem is német az anyanyelvem.
