Children learn quickly: ours have already adapted their style to speaking loud, using intensive hand gestures when expressing themselves with perfect Italian accent – in Dutch.
The waiter in the restaurant has already asked where we come from.
The reply in chorus:
Me with my husband: ‘Hungary.’
Children: ‘Belgium.’
Waiter: ‘Ok. Until you agree on it, I will bring something to drink..’
Saluti ragazzi!

Megérkeztünk a Comói-tóhoz.
A gyerekek hamar ráéreznek: percek óta hangosan, széles taglejtésekkel beszélnek olasz akcentussal – hollandul.
A kávézóban a pincér meg is kérdezi, hova valósiak vagyunk.
A válasz kórusban:
Házastársam és én: “Magyarország.”
Gyerekek: “Belgium.”
Pincér: “Addig is, míg eldöntik, hoznék valamit inni.
I am Hungarian living in Antwerp, Belgium.
Having landed in my blog might mean that you are interested in topics like How to Run A Happy Family, or How To Be Successful At Work, or Which Places Not To Miss When You Travel Abroad, and if you indeed want to know more about those topics, please do visit some real blogs, due to the fact that I also write about family, travel, work, etc, however the common element of those posts being that you will for sure not find them useful, in any sense.
You will meet recurring characters, such as my daughter (2006), my son (2009), my husband, and some others (grandmas, neighbours, teachers, colleagues..) who are all very nice people, so appearing in my stories is not at all their fault..
