Szüret*

*Picking up grapes is really hard thing to do if you're not used to it. Last sunday all AFS'ers in Győr and Sopron gathered in Sopron to go to the Szüret. Because of living Győr we had to wake up so early that we could catch the bus to Sopron, which took us 1.5 hour to go. It was the first time that i had ever woken up so early, i woke up at 4 a.m! It was really exhausting :D In addition, Hungary is really cold at nights and early mornings. It's like 10 degrees in the morning and then 25 degrees in the afternoon!

After all, when we arrived in Sopron it was 9 a.m and we started to work immediately. It was a really laborious job. We were like a crew separated in 2 groups :)

And this is how a Hungarian grape looks like. It's smaller than the Turkish grape but it tastes really good :)
And... At the end we picked up lots of grapes! There were like a zillion grapes! :D

Then we went to a special place to make wine. Finally, at the end of the process we drank must (click on it!) which means young wine. It was really delicious!

I know it's kind of cliché but frankly I had really nice experiences that i'll never forget :)
