Not long after arriving in Hungary, we ventured to Budapest for several days of orientation in August. During this time we were introduced to a series of highly regarded professors, lecturers, musicians and authors who provided us with a thorough introduction to the culture, history and traditions of Hungary. While all of this information has greatly contributed to my continuing understanding of this country, one seemingly simple yet quite insightful piece of advice originating from these seminars has remained at the forefront of our minds becoming, in a sense, our maxim during this sojourn. One of the speakers concluded his speech with four simple words: “Say ‘Yes’ to everything”.
Before setting foot on Hungarian soil, we had already begun to take the first steps towards recognizing this advice. Should we really pack our suitcases and leave the comforts and familiarity of home, family and friends for nearly a year in a country we know very little about? Are you sure this is a good idea? Yes
A few days after we arrived, the diocese of Pécs was celebrating its one thousandth anniversary. Do we dare brave the high temperatures, unfamiliar location and packed square to attend this historic event? Yes
Tesco is such a large supermarket. How will we find the milk, the eggs, the bread? Is this butter or margarine? We won’t be able to read any of the labels. How will I wash my car? All of the directions are in Hungarian? Dare I attempt it? Yes
