Anyegin (aka Eugene Onegin)

Still in my post-day-at-the-bath and a-few-glasses-of-wine haze, I
strolled by the opera where I was looking at ticket prices. I had no
intention to buy one, was just curious, but a guy came up to me and
said something in Hungarian. After a blank look from me, he asked if
I wanted a ticket. It was almost curtain call, and his friend had not
shown up. He was attending the opera with his parents, 'did I want to
come?'. Um, yeah. The ticket was an amazing seat ($80 usd), his day
bought me water and cake at intermission, and his mom outlined the
story for me so I could follow. It was a killer travel day.

Never mind my earlier question. You can see I'm reading these in order.

How great that you got to go to the opera! And great that you're doing this whole trip. Really enjoying the blog.
