Flying in a Snow Globe

Wednesday morning I went to class and left straight to the train station with a cheese and salami sandwich on hard bread in hand. After a quick train ride to Stockholm I hopped on a bus to the skvasta airport which is not the usual airport you flight into to Sweden but its the airport that the wonderful Ryan air flies out of. So then after going through security which is 10000x chiller than the US. 

So after getting some gummies for the plane I was so ready for Budapest. Random side note - swedes love their gummy candy but they are usually pretty hard and that's how they like it. And gummies also come in the bulk candy containers which is great!! #rip the bulk candy containers in the dorms. As we walked to the plane I could barely see because I was literally in a snow globe. 

After siting on the plane for a half an hour they began de-icing the plane which I think it would've been more convenient to have done that before hand. So then I took a quick nap and when I woke up I was expecting the plane to be ready to go.... But nope. Obviously it's RyanAir. So then it was time to de-board the plane because the airport closed their runways due to the fact we live at the North Pole. 

So my plane was supposed to leave at 4 and by 530 we were all back inside the airport and were told they would reassess the snow situation at 730. I was just laying around being pissed off listening to my boy timeflies when an announcement was made that if you were on the delayed flights you get 5 euros free at the bar/cafe but 5 euro is like 42 kronor and the only thing you could buy was a croissant or a cookie. Gee whiz thanks I'll pass. So then I heard the word Budapest over the intercom and I literally was up and at the gate within 3 seconds. So finally by 8 we were up in the air. Thanks to all the elves who were plowing the snow in the North Pole. 

Then once in Budapest we hopped on a bus which was literally aluminum box on wheels to the metro which was also an aluminum box on a track. Then walked to the hostel and by that time it was midnight so I googled where the closest McDonalds was and got myself one classy American meal, took a shower, and then passed out. Oh and the chocolate shakes and fries are just as good as they are in America.

To be continued......

Xoxoxo

p.s i have this new profound love for America - not saying I don't love Europe because it is absolutely amazing - but like so is America... as those weirdos say "I AM A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD"
