Interesting facts - 1

Getting around in DC is not that complicated but once you walk to the wrong direction...
Metro vs Underground
I spent almost a year in England and I had a chance to visit many places. In London the public transportation was really easy to use, everything was just signed and there was always a map what you can easily use if you feel lost. You could buy a daily travel card what you can use in the underground and on the bus. (It costs about 7-8 Pounds or if you go to London with train you can buy a complex travel card which contains the daily travel card).
Here in DC you could just put as much money on a card as you want and you can use it until it has money on it (at least 1.50 dollar). And you have to pay for the bus separately (1.50 dollar for a 'ride').
The other thing I saw here (and nowhere else) is you can carry your bike around in the city even if you have to use a bus, because every bus has a case in the front so they just put it on there while you're travelling with the bus around.

It's time to think about the future

After I spent a week off and I enjoyed the time in DC and in Pittsburgh I really should think about what I would like to do in my free time. Choose a school and make a driver licence and so on.
What I know is in this year I could do whatever I want so I have to use my time, and do something which is usable for my future. And I don't have to worry about what's going on at home, I can leave those problems at home, and I can concentrate about myself.
This is one of the best opportunities in my life, and I really appreciate it. All this travelling and getting know more about other countries and people opened the world for me. When you're at home, and you don't have a chance to travel or to visit, it's like always just a dream, and you could just imagine what could be on the 'other side'. And even if you are just visiting places for a vacation you won't know all the things about the people and about the country.
But now I feel like I could live everywhere. The only thing is what you have to know is the language.
When I was in museums, I really enjoyed it, I knew it that there is always something to learn about, and it brought the world closer to me. It opens your mind, and you feel like, you learned about these things in the high school, but they didn't tell you everything.
So to make the story short I just wanted to say that I'm ready to learn something new and do something educational! :D

Köszönöm

Sokat gondolok Rád, és az együtt töltött percekre, arra hogy mennyire fontos vagy nekem és mennyire szeretlek! Tudod te is jól, hogy mindennél jobban és nem tudom elégszer mondani, nem tudom szavakba önteni, de tudom hogy érzed, még ha ilyen távol is vagyunk egymástól!
Ha ott lehetnék most melletted, szorosan magamahoz ölelnélek és összebújva aludnánk el, egymás karjaiban!
Te vagy a Mindenem!
SZERETLEK!
Jó éjt Egyetlenem!

Pittsburgh at night and at daytime




Pittsburgh is a really nice place! The characteristic shape of Pittsburgh's central business district is a triangular tract carved by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which form the Ohio River. The city features 151 high-rise buildings, 446 bridges, two inclined railways, and a pre-revolutionary fortification. 
Pittsburgh is known colloquially as "The City of Bridges" and "The Steel City" for its many bridges and former steel manufacturing base.
I really enjoyed the time there, for two days, I stayed there for two days at the mom's friends house, she was really nice, and I met on the bus on the way there with a guy who was born and raised in Pittsburgh so he told me all the stories about Pittsburgh what you can read in books, and what just those people know who actually lives there. :)
He told me a story about the Heinz Ketchup and about the places in the city where they made the new Batman movie. :) And about Khalifa who sings the song Black and Yellow. (I heard about that music at home, and I really liked it, but I didn't know what is that song about, now I know, and I like it more :P)
I just walked to the downtown in one day, next to the river than trough a bridge, I saw the two stadiums and Science Center, the Aviary, and the churches in the middle of the city (it was interesting when I walked inside and there was so quiet even it was next to a main road with lot of cars).
And we went out to see the nightlife of the city, which was interesting too, with all the girls who were dressing up in short dresses and the pubs with R'n'B music.
So I saw almost everything what you have to see if you are there, and the best was the night view from the hill! Absolutely breathtaking!
I wish I could go back someday and enjoy these things again!
And now I've got a guide book to Pittsburgh with glossary about Pittsburghese (which is words that don't seem to exist anywhere else).  :)
