We used to call it ‘salki’, which doesn’t really translate to English. It’s a place where nuns used to live...

Where the nuns used to live; I think that's the convent. If it's in a neighborhood by the church or the religious school, it's the convent.

Lots of pictures, and lots of walking over time to get the pictures. I'm glad you had good times there when you were growing up.

Oh no, there is another word for a convent and that is ‘klasztor’. This one is a little different. The nuns lived there on a temporary basis, they’d come to teach children and do other religious meetings. They’d also change over time. Convents here were mainly not accessible by the public. These days there are no nuns in this building anymore. Just some offices.

There are some nice memories from this place and these are the ones I choose to cherish. Others are so dramatic, that I chose never mention them 😉

Thanks for stopping by 💙
