weird things that happened this week

1) A man walks down the street in seriously short shorts.  I'm talking Nair commercial short.  He was in his 50's.  (EDIT--6/6--Worse. While waiting for the bus at school, I saw an old man wearing NO pants, just a shirt, tightie whities AND he was wheeling a wheelbarrow.  Does it get much better than that?)

2) The "cool" boys in school have gotten new haircuts.  The "half mullet" is no longer popular, but seemingly blow dried long bangs, and a back mohawk (a bo-hawk) are now the new 'do.  Also wearing sunglasses inside (haven't you heard the news? The sun never sets on a bad ass).

3)  While picnicing/reading/drawing in the park, I got approached by a group of Hungarian 10- year olds.  My hungarian is getting better, but I couldn't understand anything except they wanted me to do something with my bicycle.  I replied politely, as usual "Angolul beselek" (I speak English).

Well, no sweat for the 10 year olds, they switched right over to english (better than some of my highschoolers!) And explained that their ball was stuck up a tree and they'd like to throw stones at it, so could I please move my bike.

This is a very strange happening here....not many people speak english! Especially 10 year olds. I complimented them, of course!

4) I randomly got Friday off and found out today (thursday).  "Oh, we forgot to tell you, there won't be lessons tomorrow because the students will be on a school trip.  So don't come in"

...Okayyyy, don't have to tell me twice!
