Hey Hey Hey!
I've finally found a semi-reliable internet connection in my town of Gyoda. I'm on the top floor of the Paseos department store. Since I can't really get anything reliable, I'll keep this short...but here are the first pictures! I apologize that there aren't many and the gallery is a little shabby, but hey, I'm pressed for time!
