Team building - Budapest style



whilst other rugby teams might pay to go paintballing, white water rafting or abseiling to team build - but in Budapest, the Exiles do something different - we went pig killing.
Basically the team bought a pig weighing 170kgs which was then slaughtered and the team was responsible for turning it into sausages, ribs and chops. Katy was a whizz on the sausages whilst the butcher we had hired managed to wrap himself into his mincing machine - luckily without any ill side effects. Unfortunately, because I broke the chopping board I was given a really crappy job - making the pork scratchings!















you know when your day starts with palinka at 7am as a means of waking you up, that it will not be the most normal of days

couple that with turning up to a house with 6 dogs (2 Labs, an Irish Wolfhound, a Border Terrier and 2 horrid little yappy things), 8 cats, a sheep, a goat and a pig - all of which have names from Star Trek as well as going for walks as a family. Their owner, Ben, is a professional animal trainer although elements of discipline were not necessary included in the training!
