Oh well. I enjoyed reading your account of the "reforming" of Paula, but took, like lucyrm, special note of the pálinka reference. I am sure it was "istáni finom" :-)Paul Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042347499548245711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-59078875498325728312007-12-12T20:07:00.000+02:002007-12-12T20:07:00.000+02:00I had an operation, quite invasive, in Budapest an...I had an operation, quite invasive, in Budapest and the surgeon seemed pretty pleased with the envelope....(!)<BR/>I had absolutely no idea of the amount to give and everyone was very vague so I hope he wasn't too cheesed off when he finally opened the envelope...I couldn't find the anaesthetist on the day I left (ran out screaming) so never passed her the envelope, thank goodness I didn't have to go under again...:-0lucyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992580308147659697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-32736128167005495962007-12-11T22:21:00.000+02:002007-12-11T22:21:00.000+02:00Hi Lucy.

The "tip" one gives the doctor on departing is after the treatment and not before and is sort of a "thanks for looking after me/my wife/my child, next time something happens hopefully you'll bear this little token of our gratitude in mind" present. Every doctor I've so far seen has actually refused my discreetly proffered envelope - not sure if it's because I'm foreign, or because they've all been nice doctorsAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294221123964774524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689571.post-72056735366730740282007-12-11T14:44:00.000+02:002007-12-11T14:44:00.000+02:00Szia Andy, Congratulations on Paula's reformation!...Szia Andy, Congratulations on Paula's reformation!<BR/>Thanks for adding my Disappearing Bp blog, I've added yours too. A quick question on halapenz (can't do accents on this machine). Do you think a tourist visiting Transylvania would be expected to hand over a brown envelope stuffed with Lei? Should I mention it in the health chapter? And are there any other envelope-passing occasions that I should point out to visitors? Eggie-sheggie-leggie, hope the palinka-fest was suitably sozzled!
