The Strict Hungarians
... They sent a security guard down to unlock the door, and he looked at the vodka, winked at me and said "Good evening?" Jeez. Hungary! Well, it was pretty laid back, and turns out, my roommate wasn't even 5 minutes away in the Bowling Bar in our ...
Taking the Waters
Walking has been our main transportation every day since the trip started. I tried family walks to the grocery store to get us used being out of our cars (a rarity in Southern California), but there was really no preparation for the countless kilometers ...
Art exhibits and football fans
I spent a fairly low-key weekend basically working, reading, and riding my bike. The weather this weekend was beautiful, so I figured I should take full advantage while it's still nice enough to be outside. The streets are really pretty ...

... it was really fun. I want to do that again too. Speaking of fitness, well, maybe wellness anyway...I had my first massage in Hungary on my birthday, and I have to say there is very little modesty here. The therapist had just finished another lady, and as ...

15 Ways to Kill Someone with Skymall
Yesterday I left on a plane for Hungary! You'll all be happy to hear that I've arrived safe and sound and am almost completely unpacked! No missed flights for me today, but I did have one or two minor snags on this trip. 1. I somehow managed to ...
Touring Budapest
After a good breakfast in the hotel, an early morning walk to the river meant seeing the Buda side in sunlight. Then there was an organised walking tour from Vorosmarty Square at 1030 (daily and free), which is a good introduction to this lovely ...
Budapest
What to say other than Budapest is an amazing city. Seeing it in the spring was special because of the number of flowers in bloom. We stayed in a nightmare of a hostel, if ever in Budapest avoid August hostel, but we kept our senses of humor and stayed ...

Burritos!
... and a nice patio in the Summer. In the winter it can be kinda smoky, but it's still cozy. I went there with some Hungary co-workers and tried a really good Czech beer that I hadn't had before. You see a pretty even split between people drinking beer and ...
Budapest Baths
... hot outside that you dont want to walk around the streets when its light outside in the middle of the day? Well, go to the Hungary thermal baths. I went to Gellart Baths, which are quite old and famous. There were really hots baths, cold baths, and the ...
Beautiful Budapest
This morning we got up bright and early and went to the Parliament building for a tour. It is very beautiful - similar to Canadian Parliament in the way it is set up (House of Commons and House of Lords) except obviously way way way better. We then went ...
Ribbed, for your displeasure.
What a day. We started out in a charmless village at the bottom of the Czech republic, the kind of town that neither they nor Slovakia really wanted but the Czech republic lost the coin toss. It was grey and ugly and framed with rusty iron pipes and ...

Budapest
Four days in Budapest with my friend Malte (thanks for the great time with you), we had a great time. Our hotel was the LE MERIDIEN which is in a great location. Weather: "four seasons in one day"....sun, hot, rain, cold, rain...everything, and it ...
City
Today we sorted our washing out for zoli's mum who has offered to do it for us (which is very generous of her due to the type of washing machine and spinner they have). The concept is very old fashion but the actual machine is only about 3 years old, we ...
Daytrip to Eger
We took a daytip to the castle town of Eger, where we strolled its quaint streets and stopped into the local covered market to feast on a massive hamburger and a huge bag of cherries. Sebastian was nearly pick-pocketed in the town, which was a bit ...
Daytrip to Pecs
Pecs - European Culture Capital for 2010...was a little dead considering its upcoming celebration. There were definitely many pretty buildings and squares to wander through, but the absence of people really made it feel a little ...
Buda & the Pest
Several years ago, I was told by someone that both Prague and Budapest are quite similar and if you only have the chance to go to one, then make it Prague. Having spent our first evening in Budapest, I could see why. The city was fine but essentially it ...

Ferihegy 2 repülőtér
Május 13. reggel van. Nagyon fáradtak vagyunk, ránk fér a pihenés. A gépünk 13:10-kor indul Ferihegy 2-ről. A repülőtér iszonyatosan jó,modern, tiszta, jól felszerelt, és méreg drága. Itt olyan komfortos minden, látszik, hogy nem ...
I killed Gyorgy
Yes, Gyorgy. The only other living thing in my apartment. The heartiest of all plants. My cactus. I thought I was being good to him. It was sunny the other day so I put him out on the balcony because he's gotten so little sun lately. And then.....I ...
The Danube in Eastern Europe!
How great to see the Graystons knocking at our door after their long flight from Vancouver! After the requisite church steeple climb up St. Stephen's Basilica we immediately headed for the first of many beers, partly due to the heat but more to visit and ...
