Hello all!
I have the understanding that many of you are very curious as to what I’ve been up to here in Europe, and I realize how long it’s been without an update. I want to make sure I can keep you all in the loop of not only the big events, but also the interesting little daily details of life in Hungary. I also have wished I could share videos and audio with you all.
SO! I have a solution.
I will be switching over in large part to a WHATSAPP GROUP! I use Whatsapp for a lot of communication with my classmates and family already, so I am 100% sure that this format will work for me to keep you all regularly updated. I hope this will not be a hindrance but a convenience for you all, too.
I would kindly request those of you who do not already have Whatsapp to set up a free account with your phone number (I in fact did not use my “real” phone number, but a google voice number that I set up, also for free). There is a Whatsapp app for smartphones, as well as an application for your desktop computer that can also be downloaded and used.
IMPORTANT: https://chat.whatsapp.com/H81cFrtV0BqCAqELem7SuX
This is the link to the group chat, by which you can join. The chat is called “Hungary4Harmony: Samuel R.” You are more than welcome to share the link with anyone you know who would be interested!
I have set it up so that only I and a few select admin are able to post directly, so that the chat stays centered around my updates without becoming a spam source for you. If you have comments or questions, please DO message me directly on Whatsapp and I will reply as soon as I can, and perhaps even add my reply to the group chat if it makes sense.
My Whatsapp number is (+1) 321-754-3212, or rather (+1) 321-7-54321-2 😉
If you would like to join but are having technical issues troubles, please reach out to me or even better someone techy who’s closer to you. 🙂 I want to make sure I can share what I’m up to with each of you!
Also, I can imagine that in some family situations where some are less comfortable with the technology side, it might be most convenient for one person to set up an account on their phone, and then have multiple other people use that number/account to access the group chat on their own computers. Just a suggestion.
I hope to see you there! Let me know if there are any problems on my end I need to fix.
Sincerely,
Samuel Rausch
