Your days are numbered.......

We took a stroll through Budapest on sunday and went by the parliament and site of the biggest riots last week. Infront of the parliament was a large demonstration and tent city and there we found this little "tribute", a pre-made coffin for the prime minister of Hungary. Now we are not trying to make light of the situation Hungary finds itself in but I just find it interesting that only a politican could head to work one morning to find his coffin already there waiting for him. I guess he is now reaping what he has sewn literally, oh thats pretty chessy isn't it, oh well guess i'm a little chessy. Also something we found interesting and unique to Hungary is this. Armyish looking contraption, what is it you ask, maybe a mobile chemical lab, maybe some sorta sprayer, no its a mobile kitchen. army issued mobile kitchen handy for all your protest needs!
Thankfully the riots have calmed down after 3 straight nights of trouble but pressure will stay on the government for reform. In other news we will be heading off for the weekend to help do a teens camp. The theme will be on rock music, so I'm sure this will lead to many good talks and challenges to the kids to really think about what they are filling their minds and hearts with. We will also be moving next week and tomorrow we will be making a trip to the moldovian embassy, I know weird info but how many times in your life do you get to say I'm making a trip to the moldovian embasy, gotta take advantage of these moments when they come up!
