In Eger, Hungarian is the main language spoken, although many young people also speak English. In Warsaw, Polish is the main language spoken. Since Warsaw is a big city, many people also speak English.
Hungary uses the Hungarian forint (HUF) and Poland uses the Polish złoty (PLN). In both places, some tourist areas may also accept the euro.
Typically, a bottle of water costs about 150 HUF, or about $0.45. In Poland, a bottle of water costs around 2 PLN, or about $0.55.
The best meal I ate last week was different types of pierogies in Warsaw. I tried all different kinds; some were filled with potato, and others were filled with spinach or meat!
I'm working on an American Studies presentation for outreach at a high school in Debrecen, Hungary, which will be on the different types of music from New York City. To research, I've been listening to a lot of jazz, doo-wop, salsa, and hip-hop.
