So I really like Budapest. First off its totally different than I expected. I really expected it to be run down and kind of crappy. Instead its quite modern and quite nice, and fairly cheap.

Some things that I have noticed:
1) I have never seen boobs so large ... on a mannequin. I was walking down the street and I had to do a double take on the endowment that this mannequin was blessed with, I couldn't believe it. Must be a Hungarian thing.
2) They have the fastest damn escalators I have ever been on, its kind of fun.
3) I expected Hungarian women to be "big boned" and Bavarian looking. Man was I totally off on this one. Turns out the Hungarian women are totally beautiful. Some have blonde hair but most are brunettes (my personal favorite) but the killer is that they have beautifully colored eyes. Dark hair + colored eyes = heavenly beautiful women

and my personal favorite,
4) The one button shower. When I first went to take a shower at the hostel and I walked in and saw this older shower that is operated by this one push button, I looked at it and my first thought was..... FUCK, SHIT, and GOD DAMN IT (in that order). I was totally not in the mood for a cold shower. Well I sacked up and prepared for the worst. Turns out 2 seconds later it was warm water, in fact it was almost a perfect temperature. God bless those damn Hungarian engineers.

Events of the day:
+ saw the Parlament
+ had lunch with Balazs in a swank pub
+ walked all around Castle Hill, drank beer, walked around some more, saw cool statues and things
+ Had dinner with Balazs, his girlfriend and some of her family and friends.
