Path
Top Ten Reasons Why My New Flat/Neighborhood is Awesome:1. If I'm heading west or south, then I always see Imre Varga's silvery weeping willow sculpture commemorating the Jewish victims of the Holocaust in back of the Synagogue. At night and lit up, it is especially alluring and captivating. It's shiny grace always gives me a perk.
2. I'm in the same neighborhood with my homies, the Jews! I feel right at home.
3. One of the saddest buildings in Budapest is opposite my bedroom window. It's basically an unrelieved brick wall. But this means that I get to walk around naked with no worries. Also, the red brick geometry of the facade makes a beautiful abstract statement against the airy blue sky when I wake up in the morning and turn my head back to look outside.
4. It's my OWN flat!!!! I can decorate it as I please. It's mine. Food tastes better in your own flat. You sleep more soundly in your own flat.
5. This reason may be an effect of the latter reason: but I notice that I really like cooking in this flat, and have already had friends over for dinner several times. And this may be a commentary on the former flat too-- the fact that it always felt so uncomfortable and museum-like to me. This one, though not lined in silk and beautiful oil paintings and antiques, is very COMFORTABLE and FRIENDLY.
6. I LOVE my "local." You may remember that I complained bitterly about my formal local "Beckett's." Now my local is Szoda, rough and studenty, just my cup of tea (or beer, as is more often the case).
7. I am in Kertek Heaven! The seventh district is where most of the kertek are, maybe the coolest thing in any city, in my opinion.
8. The little Gypsy boy who plays the accordion near my house. He is about eight years old I think, and whenever I see him, I drop some change into his paper cup. He always rewards me with a little wink, and I think we are destined to be friends.
9. Much better cable. At this flat, not only do I have America-is-the-Only-Country-That-Exists-CNN, but I also have BBC World! I have already seen a great program about my favorite sense, smell, on the BBC. Also, my TV5 does NOT rudely transmogrify into the the porn Gold channel in the middle of a Truffaut film that I am watching. I do not have anything against porn, but when I am in the middle of watching something on the French channel that is interesting, it sucks to have it interrupted. I have tried to watch the Gold Channel, but I notice that I get very distracted by the hideous sofas and art on the walls that comprise the typical porn setting. I think it's safe to say that the whole point of it is therefore lost on me.
10. It's easy-access to every part of the city that I visit. Andrassy is just a tad north, the kertek are east, and Ferenciek tere is just a bit west.
So, I am in a good place, both physically and mentally, after what some might consider a bit of an ordeal. It is at this place that I am going to discontinue Budapest and the Rest:
I feel that now is a time for serious study. I have long flirted with the Lord Buddha, but more and more I am coming to believe that this is my proper path. I don't know if keeping a blog and following this path are necessarily in conflict--probably not-- I could maybe even start a new blog: "Buddha and the Rest"-- but I sense that it would somehow be a hindrance to me, that it would pose an unnecessary difficulty. And an implicit part of Buddhism are that words are insufficient means to convey enlightenment.
I have always been fascinated by those who left the world for a while to pursue something else, be it the philospher's stone or Art or spiritual growth. Rimbaud, Proust, and the Lord Buddha himself come to mind. This is my time. I am not leaving the world altogether-- not all schools of Buddhism require this. There is a even a place for a sensualist such as myself within Buddhism-- but I have a lot of learning and a lot of work to do, and it's best if I can fully dedicate myself to this with the time that I have right now.
If you have read this blog, I thank you. For someone to read my words feels like such an amazing gift. Thank you for that. Thank you for your comments. They have been wholly beneficial and encouraging to me. I hope that all of you find a path that feels right for you, and I wish you the best as you follow that path. And, of course, I wish you Love and Compassion.

i feel privileged to be the first to say, 'how are we going to get by w/o b&tp?!?' it is like we have all been given 'all access' passes to the backstage of audra and now you, the star, are coming along and plucking from our needy hands the key to this special part of your brain! it makes me think of a lovely scottish film, 'dear frankie': in it, a young deaf-mute boy sends letters to his (imaginary) father but really they go to his mother. she reads them and writes back from his 'dad'. when it appears that this wonderful glimpse into frankie's world may be cut off, she goes to desperate measures to insure that the letters will not stop. without them, she feels that she would have no idea what he is thinking. but really, i understand your reason to retreat and i do wish you the best. i would love perchance to be able to send some one-way notes to you from over here. if you are agreeable, you know where to send me your 7th district snail-mail address.
Congratulations on all counts!
I know you've just escaped from Beckett's pub, but the final words of his novella 'The Expelled' seem appropriate:
"When I am abroad in the morning I go to meet the sun, and in the evening, when I am abroad, I follow it... I don't know why I told this story. I could just as well have told another. Perhaps some other time I'll be able to tell another. Living souls, you will see how alike they are."
Have a safe and pleasant journey, spiritually and physically.
Gled yer feelin better. Wiz in Sip Utca last year. Kane whaur yir cumin frae. Yon synagogue wiz pure dead brilliant.
Orrabest Audra
Oh, Audra, no! Now that my plans to move to Budapest are solidifying, I looked to your website to show me the way - my PATH, as it were.
I hope perhaps you will decide to update here and there. Otherwise, it's been a pleasure. All too brief, unfortunately!
Best of luck.
Just my luck. I am here in Bp right now and found your blog randomly and used it as a nice guide while I get starting living here with my girlfriend. I settled, for now, near Andrassy live near Andrassy on Vorosmarty. If you happen to see some Americano (let's face it,we stand out) who looks like he should playing Jesus in an Easter Passion Play give me "hiya." But knowing me, I'll shrink from embarrassment from talking to stranger on the street. Best of luck!
You don't know how I'm going to miss you Audra. You've become something like an icon to me. Audra in Budapest. A rare and special combination that never existed anywhere in imagination or history before. I want you to do well. I'm sure many meditative thoughts of gold await you in your further journeys. Feel free to say hello every now and then (you have my e-mail and you know my blog). I don't take these internet/blog/e-mail contacts as something superficial.
And one last thing: Please leave your blog online. It would be a shame for the blogosphere to lose it.
Since moving to Dist VII, i rarely leave it. Good choice.
What a bunch of Sweeties!!!!!
SVM: You are always so supportive of me,...I don't know what I did to deserve a friend like you. I have never heard of "Dear Frankie," but it is going straight to the "List of Films to Cram into my Schedule and See when I am in America for a Couple Weeks This Summer." But you know that you will always know what I am thinking,..albeit perhaps a little more infrequently for a while. You may be out west when I come back to the States this summer, but as soon as I know what my dates are, I will give you a call so that we can try to arrange something.
Vandorlo: I really appreciate that quote. Thank you. It seems thoughtfully chosen. Thank you for reading and I wish you the best as well in our dark Bp.
Anonymous: Köszi! "Dead brilliant,": I love that. All the best to you.
Ashbloem: My Darling, you certainly do not need my guidance. You need to know that you can do it. And you can. Come to Budapest. Give her time. Look carefully. And you will fall in love. Best of luck to you, and you can always e-mail me. Are you coming soon? I will be in Paris in the fall, but if you are coming soon we can meet up.
Anonymous: You are darling. How exciting for you and your girlfriend! And sounds like you are in a good place. I wish you adventure and discovery. And I will look for Jesus traipsing about Andrassy. If you could be handing out some kifli rolls and some carp, that might help me further to identify you.
Indeterminacy: My Darling Darling Darling Indeterminacy. You have a very special place in my comment box, you know. But I'm not about to say "goodbye" you know. I will probably drop off the radar screen for a bit, but when I have regular internet access, I will again resume reading your bloggy more regularly. And I may update Budapest and the Rest when I get back to the States in July, so for now I will not delete. I really must express to you a heartfelt thank you for reading my blog from so early on and for giving me so much support, encouragement, recipes, and even a new brawny e-mail account. This frivolous melancholic thanks you.
Brandon: It's the best, isn't it? Cheers!
Irma,
Bit of advice, my luv. Stay away from the gyppos. Nothing but trouble.
Don't fall for the I-can-befriend-the-romantic-gypsy-culture-etc-etc
Anonymous: Heavens. We here at Budapest and the Rest gently inform you that the use of ethnic-slurs is MOST unbecoming! And leaving your comment anonymously will unfortunately not protect you from its devastating ill-effects. I am afraid that even the best astringents and moisturizers are powerless in this case. I wish for you a mountain of Compassion and Loving Kindness as the only effective beauty balm in this desperate case.
Just found your blog - love it - pity it's over. I think we may just be two peas from the same pod.
I came here from your Indeterminancies sketch, and have not had the chance to look through your whole site-- BUT I LOVE YOUR NAME!!!! Not too long ago I also rented a French film, and it was good, titled Irma Vep. Just not what I thought it was going to be. Beautiful sketch too, and I look forward to exploring your site!
Have you ever seen Asparagus this BIG
They grow up to 15in long and 2in wide.

It's nice to see that someone takes the time to have his own blog. Blogs are a new way to develop new Ideas and new products, to enrich human life. I give my little contribution as well, as Aristotle said one Man alone might not find out everything there is to know about the Universe, but one find a little and another one another little and so on, until human beings will discover everything.
Thanks for your time.
If you want to visit my blogs:

Vegetables are great, but the Heart Start Defibrillator is better (At saving your life, that is ;) ).
You evil aonymous spammers! How dare you spam such a classy lady as Audra. Boo! Go away!
I saw a link about that on http://www.AEDefibrillator.com yesterday that made it sound like you would do better finding it online.
Irma,
I would like to draw you.
Your words are wonderful, and very uplifting.
Giving change to a Gypsy boy who plays the accordian sounds like a beautiful thing.
I hope all goes well for you too.
Thank you for your kind words, thank you.
