Passport drama update
They gave me a new passport. It's valid for a year. It cost a lot. It's not as nice as my other passport. I also got a sheet of paper with my picture pasted on it that says stuff in Hungarian about me being able to leave the country. I spent at least 6 hours navigating this bureaucratic maze. Now I just hope it all works.
And with that, I'm leaving. My patched-together itinerary goes: Budapest -> Brussels -> Newark -> Pittsburgh (CMU) -> Newark (Princeton) -> Toronto -> Newark -> Geneva -> Budapest.
