We began the day as usual: good breakfast. After our daily bus commute, we had our final Hungarian lesson, where we acted out some funny situations and learned how to order food.

On the math side of things, we continued to work on induction. This time, that meant working through the proofs of a couple of essential theorems, and the sort-of-kind-of-a-proof-ish of Dirichlet's Conjecture (which seemed like a proof to me, but apparently it isn't quite proven yet so I'm hedging my bets).
So many proofs!
After class, we visited a center for refugee aid. Emese Papp, our Hungarian teacher and liaison in the city, teaches there, and she's recruited several of us to assist with science lessons for the kids there over the next few weeks. The organization works with refugees from nearly a dozen different countries, and they can always use more hands.

After the main events of the day, it was time for wandering and homework. Dylan went out to a local cafe and got a cappuccino while Professor Berliner got a thick hot chocolate. On the way, we saw a green park in front of one of the churches and art painted on the side of a building.
Coffee and churches: both extremely common here
On the way back to the hotel, Michael and Dylan went grocery shopping and purchased many fine foods, including 36 pocket coffee chocolates. We will be cooking up something delicious sometime next week.
In the evening, Michael, along with a few others, went to dinner with Adam, our ingenious professor. It was very delicious, scrumptious, and overall very tasty. There was also half a horse sticking out of the wall, so that was interesting.
The evening
All that was left to do was homework. There’s always more homework to do around here. But hey, at least it's interesting!
The routine
As always, have a good one!
