For the best birthday present anyone could ask for.

Alex, we're really glad to have you around to share this day.

This one takes a little more explaining.

I also bought him [his father for his birthday] Alaska Vodka [on the bottle it's spelled Alaszka. You can see it in the link.] In Hungary alcoholic drinks are very often given as gifts. Usually it is wine because Hungary is famous for its wines but my father doesn't like wine. . . I have never got alcoholic drink as gift because I scarcely drink alcohol.
So I figured he should get some real Alaska alcohol, and since he hardly drinks, a virtual bottle of Alaska Amber beer cooling on Exit Glacier is just fine.
Thank you. Nowadays I play quite a lot role in your blog. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Alaska is spellt as Alaszka in Hungarian but the pronunciation is the same more or less.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have just read that many people desire back the communist era in Eastern Europe. Not a long ago it was the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. Many people think that they lived better in those times. It is true that wages were a bit higher in those times. From the 1980s it was easier to go abroad amd living conditions improved so it may be true. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the USSR had won the Cold War.
