Blogging from Budapest

Hungary · Web as Platform

I have to say that I really love Web 2.0. This morn­ing I have been enjoy­ing the ben­e­fits of being able to check my email through an Out­look browser inter­face, read through my RSS sub­scrip­tions with Google Reader and book­mark­ing sev­eral sites using my del.icio.us account. Here I am on a friend’s com­puter in Budapest, Hun­gary and I can do all these things by using the Web as a plat­form. It really is a small world.

Budapest? Yes, I am in Hun­gary. I am spend­ing the day with a friend after a week of min­istry in Hun­gar­ian high schools. This is my sev­enth trip to Hun­gary. My wife and I lived in East­ern Hun­gary for a year in 97–98. I really love this coun­try and enjoy every oppor­tu­nity that I get to come back and be part of the Cam­pus Cru­sade min­istry here.

I sched­uled some extra time to spend with my friend Laci. I met him 17 years ago when I came to Hun­gary on a Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ Sum­mer Project. Laci is now lead­ing the Cam­pus min­istry in Hun­gary. He and his wife are expect­ing their third child in April and I brought along sev­eral out­fits for the baby that our chil­dren have outgrown.

I will be shar­ing more about my trip on my other web­site after I return to the U.S. and share pic­tures on Flickr. I fly home on Tues­day with more mem­o­ries and look­ing for­ward to see­ing my fam­ily after 10 days away from them. Szia Hungary.
