Leaving...Two Days Later

My plans have changed, but only by a few days. Hungarian rail workers have gone on strike, over low wages and a one time payment that they feel is owed to each worker (the Hungarian rail corporation was bought out recently, and the workers think they deserve an equal portion of the buy-out, which amounts to 1,440 USD/worker). So when I tried to get my bus ticket, both the Friday and Saturday morning routes were sold out. So much for buying my ticket a few days early. Luckily, Sunday's route still had space, so I leave at 6:30 AM from Prague, and arrive in Budapest around 13:45. Just enough time to get set up for the big corporate meeting that is happening at the Move One Budapest office. It's a two day event, starting Monday, and I get to film it for all those lazy business men and women who are not able to attend.

So tonight is my going away last night in Prague party/Valentine's Day party, but then again, it is not my last night in Prague. I'm sure the party-goers will forgive the inconvenience in the name.
