budapest - back from

okay. i have serious avoidance issues, but i post now cause its seen as the lesser of evils as i've been cleaning


Impressions
pic of of a street on the Buda side of the Danube ---->


- i really liked Budapest.
- its a really chill and laid back city. of course i was there during off season (always my favorite time) so that may have something to do with it.
- people dress much more comfortably than Romanian, i.e. no camel toes and comfortable shoes instead of stilettos
- very pretty. lots of 19th century architecture. memories of which pained me when i returned to bucharest and saw how ugly and gray all the buildings are
- Hungarians really dont like Romanians. All historical with stealing of territories and they see them as less developed and urbane.


What i did

<--- pic of the hostel that i stayed in.



- walked around the city and along the Danube River
- sat in parks (beautiful spring days that were mostly sunny and warm)
- visited museums and other cool historical stuff
- went to the opera. tickets are massively inexpensive.
- got lost ALOT but it was okay since i saw stuff along the way
- met some pretty cool people (plus one very stinky frenchman)
- attempted to go to the baths but the water was smelling of sulphur. will wait till the Arthur strikes me and my joints need easing
