Békéscsaba- judo and more food

On Monday, while Ivana and Andy went to the solarium, I wanted to go to the pharmacy to buy an ice pack. When Andy walked into the solarium (that's what they call the tanning salon) she pointed at the next shop over as the pharmacy. The next shop over was men's clothing. I panicked for a minute and then I saw the sign of the snake on a stick- you can see it on the kigyo sign. I'm really glad I listened in my French class when we were talking about finding medical places. 
On our way out, there was this bum playing the violin really poorly. I was about to pay him money just to make him stop. Or to take his violin away.

Dinner....
Monday I tried the chicken smothered in applesauce. The apple soup is just divine so I knew that I wanted to try this dish especially when the only other interesting option was fried chicken with potatoes (you can see it on Ivana's plate). It was a little strange eating apples with my chicken, but it tasted fine separately. 
These sausages/frankfurters were super good. The direct translation by google said that it was a sort of ratatouille, but this is no ratatouille that I've ever seen. The meat is flavorful and I basically just ate it alone. Those are my pickles on the side. They taste a little like sweet pickles. As you can see, Ivana, on the right ordered the same meat, but with French fries instead of rice. 
For Wednesdays dinner, I was feeling a little ill so I ordered the cabbage cube pasta hoping that cabbage had some important nutrients that my body was missing. The other options were fried cauliflower, or fried chicken.

On Monday, Ivana and I prepared ourselves to eat the Nutella gombotz that was served today. Nutella gombotz is this dessert that evidently the FEK serves for dinner. It's basically cake balls filled with Nutella. It is sooo good and sooo rich. I could barely eat five of them. Ivana is eating this meatloaf with an egg in the middle. Nothing too special. But really good flavored meatloaf.

The other day we went to the Aldi store that is a short walk from our hostel. Ivana introduced me to the choceur chocolate. It's about a dollar and you get a massive bar of chocolate. I got the grape and not chocolate because I decided to be healthy. Or I just didn't have wifi to translate the German writing.
Mogyorò tejfol szelet (slice of sour cream hazelnut cake)

Not sure exactly what these two desserts are, but one Nikki called cremes or something. It has that papery crispy stuff on the top and bottom. On the right is raspberry cheesecake.


This morning we had futás again. We ran three miles and then had additional training with the Békéscsaba judo master. Sometimes I feel extremely stupid when we do workouts because my body has never made movements even close to the movements that I am suppose to be doing. Today was not one of those days. Every single exercise we did was a type of push-up or an extreme ab workout. It was great and made my Nutella gombotz taste even sweeter.
