Red Cross

I included two services related to the red cross. When I was home I could fortunatelly complete both of them, but blood donation was a bit more difficult to succeed. As far as my clothes are concerned I gathered all of them into 2 fully loaded black garbage bags which were the only good size bags to carry the cloths around properly. There are several containers in Hungary set up by the Red Cross so I just had to place the bags into them and they are donated wherever they fit according to their schedule.
For the blood donation I had to struggle a bit and go 3 times because for the first time they wouldn't accept only the copy of my insurance which was pretty annoying..
The second time I did bring my original insurance but my girlfriend and I were in such a hurry that we barely ate anything so we decided to drink some sugary drinks before the donation. As soon as they spotted us told us that there is no way they are going to take blood if we did not eat, so it was a stupid idea to admit it. I have to be honest I never donated blood before and though it would be alright if I drink a coke or something before the donation.
The third time went perfectly well tho. There was a donation truck parking, actually pretty close to, where I live, on Örs Vezér's Square that day (we always checked on the internet where it is possible) and succeeded :) It was hard but managed to take some pictures too! It might look like a bracelet, it's not :) It's a tube with my blood in it :O
