明天就要離開布達佩斯了，今天把小方阿楷的禮物寄出，到了郵局還想畫一張電車圖給孩子們，便當作是自己家坐下來很自在地開始畫圖，旁邊的警衛看了很久，似乎很想知道這個女生為何會如此，我離開時和他點點頭，他很害羞地回應我，匈牙利人愛藝術，我賺到一點點好處。
I am leaving Budapest tomorrow. Today I mailed out Von and Kai's gifts. I still felt like drawing a postcard for the boys, so when I got to the post office, I sat down to draw as if it were my living room. The guard nearby looked at me for a long time, trying to figure out why this woman acted so. I nodded at him when I left, and he responded with shyness. Hungarians are art lovers, so I must have made good use of that here.
下午去了加州咖啡畫畫，臨走之前有個長得像伊森霍克的年輕男孩和他的朋友走過來，請我幫他們畫張速寫，剛開始有點緊張，因為男孩煞是可愛，他擺了個很酷的pose，手靠在下巴，食指放在嘴唇上，四分之三側臉作沉思狀，結果我畫成食指在鼻孔處，於是我又自願多畫一張，最後給他們看時男孩笑笑地比挖鼻孔的動作。年輕人離開前送我兩顆糖果。
I went to California Coffee Company for sketches in the afternoon. When I was going to call it a day, a young boy resembling Ethan Hawke, along with his friend, walked up to me, asking me to do a sketch of them. I was a little bit nervous in the beginning because the boy is rather cute. He had a cool pose with his hand resting against the chin, his forefinger on the upper lip. He turned his face slightly to the left as if he were pondering over serious matters of life. Unfortunately I didn't measure the position of the forefinger precisely, and it ended up resting on the nostril. I volunteered to do one more sketch for them. When I showed the first one to them, the boy acted out the first image. Before they left, they gave me two pieces of candy as my reward.
雖然之前去旅行也速寫，但是這一次在布達佩斯的經驗不太一樣，覺得自己比以前更往前進了，離我的目標還好遠，也需要更多的自信心，但是在只有這麼多能力和信心的現在，我對自己說：你可以的！我要帶著這個新領悟回倫敦，讓新的一年有不同的故事。
Though I also sketched on my previous trips, my experiences in Budapest this time are not quite the same. I feel I've moved forward. I might be still far away from my goal and I need so much more confidence, but at the present moment when I have limited ability and confidence, I don't forget to tell myself, "You can do it!" I am going back to London with this new epiphany so that I'll have different stories to share in the new year.
