Hungry in Hungary

So we had a tourney in Hungary this past weekend. We won two and lost one. It was a good tournament though and we are starting to click better on the court as a team. We played against two teams from Hungary and one from Serbia. We made a great comeback in the game we lost, but it wasn't quite enough. I never blame losses on the refs, but they definitely didn't help us in that game. We cut the lead down to 4 points in the third quarter, but that is the closest the officials let us get. Progressively, the calls started going in our opponents' favor and, since the team was from Hungary, it wasn't too surprising. I think the refs knew in their minds that they would have to officiate against these Hungarian teams in the regular season so they didn't want to start any sour feelings with the fans or coaches. They don't take that stuff lightly over here. That's the way it works though.

To be honest, I don't know what city we were in and I probably wouldn't be able to pronounce it anyway. Nonetheless, it was a nice, clean city. Everything seemed to be more up-to-date than in Oradea. The currency exchange got the best of me though. The Hungarian currency is worth more than in Romania so I didn't have much money the whole trip with me running short on funds. Fortunately, I was foreshadowing such an event so I brought some snacks along to hold me over for the most part. The portions in the team meals were large so that helped as well. So although I didn't go completely hungry during the trip, I thought it was a pretty catchy title for this post haha :)

I should also mention that we got to see the Vikings-Saints NFL game on TV while we were in Hungary. It was dubbed over in Hungarian, but it was still an NFL game, which made Tyronn and me feel more at home. Tyronn was especially excited because he is from New Orleans and got to see his hometown team play. We have another trip this weekend in Romania for a pair of games so I will keep you posted. Take care and God bless.
