2. On a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with your life in Hungary, and why?

3. What’s the best party you’ve been to while in Hungary, and why? 
In Kapolcs, a Farsang Party with members of the English Corner for English speakers in the Arts Valley. We are a diverse x-pat and Hungarian group from six countries.  I love an excuse to dress up, and inspired by the series, Babylon Berlin, I came as a debauched flapper!

4. What’s your favourite drink?
Jagermeister on the rocks

5. What hidden talents do you have?
 I am in my 60’s - if my talents haven’t surfaced by now, they will stay hidden.
