Have you ever been to Ireland?
I've been to Hungary and Canada. I almost went to Croatia and Austria but there wasn't enough time, but I'm still grateful that I got to go anywhere at all. wink
What was Hungary like?
Hungary was amazing. I thought it was really beautiful and it had a nice atmosphere. Even though it's in Eastern Europe it has more of a Western orientation because of the heavy Austrian influence there for hundreds and hundreds of years. In Budapest I stayed in an apartment room above a boutique, and the street next to it had so many restaurants and cafes, the entire street just went on and was filled with them. There was a market nearby so I could go and get fresh fruit and things, and for any meal of the day I could just go to one of the cafes or restaurants. That was fun...and they had the menus in 4 different langauges (which I thought was kind of cool.)I went to a couple other cities too to visit some other cousins, there was a lot of really cool nature things and scenery in Hungary and cool buildings and castles. I would tell you more and go more into detail but I don't know how much you really care about hearing. *shrugs*
The only weird thing was that when I arrived at the airport, this customs officer kept on hitting on me, and two and a half weeks later when I was leaving, he recognized me and started staring at me and then he tried to start a conversation. If you think about the thousands and thousands of people who pass through an airport each week, it's a little creepy that he remembered me. eek The same thing happened at this cafe I went to a couple times, only with one of the waiters.
That sounds really fun, I'd love to visit Hungary too. I really like the scenery of places, kind of weird I suppose. What kind of scenery? like lots of green trees, deserts, cool building, water? what?
Well perhaps you are just easily recognizable, strangly enough, people always recognize me. I'm sure you must have been easily recognized at the cafe, usually locals can spot outsiders easily.
The scenery was green. There aren't any deserts there, mostly plains/grass lands and forests, rivers, and some lakes. (And castles of course.) Driving through Hungary I went through these huge sunflower fields, the land was flat and all you could see was the freeway and sunflowers. (I found a really cool, clean, super up to date gas station with a mini coffee shop inside while I was driving through. It was way better than American gas stations. ) There are also some mountains there too. There's this one resort up in the mountains that I went to and they have this lake there and by the lake they have restaurants, so while you eat you can look at the lake and the mountain scenery. One cool thing is that there are all these sort of things like hot springs I guess, or some sort of benificial water or something that the Romans found, so you can go to all these health spas or just swim in the water if you want. It's pretty popular there, I didn't bring a bathing suit on the trip though so I couldn't go.
There are a lot of cool buildings, not modern looking cool ones but old looking cool ones. Some of them are really, really, nice. smile I saw a lot of cool places in Budapest and some cool ones in Debrecen (second largest city). The University and the main sqaure were the coolest things in Debrecen, and some of the houses and this sort of mini forest/park that I walked through. I stayed at this expensive old house with my cousins and they had a garden with all these different kinds of fruit growing in the back (even grapes). The house was within walking distance from a sort of German version of a mini-mart store, I forget what it was called...It rained a lot during the night in Debrecen, and so the air was really fresh in the morning. The trees smelled good too. smile
