Eye of the Storm

With class behind us, and the final before us, today was a moment of peace—a proverbial eye of the storm. We spent the majority of it studying, but found time for a few final fun activities before tomorrow's test. 

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve (Happy New Year!!!), so for lunch a few of us went to an excellent Chinese restaurant full of good food that left us full of great experiences.

This evening, amidst the chaos and clamor of studying numbers, Sam and Fei found time to attend a unmissable opportunity: an opera in two acts called "Love and Other Demons". They enjoyed the beautiful voices of performers, the dramatic plots, and the wonderful music.

As our time in Budapest reaches an end, we spend our penultimate day pondering the joys we have found here, but of course also looking forward to coming home to friends and family. Tomorrow, we will have the final exam and the closing dinner which Professor Berliner said would be a surprise. We will also pack things and try to have as much fun as we can. And we will be ready to go back home. We will miss this beautiful and lively city with marvelous number theory.

Wish us luck!

Best wishes and good night,

Eric Een, Eric Spear, Will and Zhifei
