A blog about travel in central Europe, living overseas for the first time, adjusting to a different culture, food, "lost in translation" moments, parenting and "enjoying the ride". There will be an occasional rant about trying to learn Hungarian and the Hungarian postal service.

Terror Haz- Day of Remembrance
There is a museum called the Terror Haz (House) right downtown in Budapest on the fancy shopping street, Andrassy Ut. It was used by the Nazis and by the Soviets to detain and torture people, to get them to inform on others. We were walking by last week and there was a gathering with many older people there. It was very somber; people were lighting candles and setting them along the walls of the museum, where pictures of people killed by the Soviets line the walls.
