Unicycling Abroad

Some of you may know that I dabble with a unicycle at home in the States.  I picked it back up again right before leaving for abroad, for lack of math to keep me busy, and was a bit misty-eyed to leave it behind.  Lo, little did I know, but the Hungarian god of one-wheeled pursuits would bestow upon me a unicycle in Budapest.  As they say, the lord works in mysterious ways; indeed, the unicycle was to be found in the closet at Ranjan's apartment.  Ranjan, not knowing how to use a unicycle, was happy to lend it to me; I in return offered lessons to anyone eager to learn.

With most basketball courts and other open spaces covered in snow, space for riding is a bit slim, but the courtyard and breezeway of my apartment building have been okay for a little fiddling.  I hear the Russian Circus is holding tryouts in the Budapest Gym next week.

Wow!! Between your unicycle and your magic spinning bowls I would guess the Russians would sign you up in a nanosecond. Shall we plan a trip to Moscow instead of Budapest?
