Hun-gary for more...i'll
shorthand my adventures and let the photos do the talking...
Day1: Buda side: castle.church.lookout pt-met serena for a night out at an irish pub with a live band! accomplice to a pocketing of a heiniken beer glass- u'll just have this weird urge to steal once something has been stolen from you..
Day 2: Pest side: st stephen's.operahouse.central market. hotchocolate.parliment.posing for pictures*smiles*-spent my evening @ e operaert-galakoncert: a smorgasbord of opera,symphony, ballet, choir and traditionary hungarian dance for like S$8 which went on for close to 3 hours
Day3: TerrorHaza: house of terror, historial museum dedicated to the victims of the Nazi and communist regime-visited serena's flat- Hungarian goulash & Arsenal v. Liverpool match ( Liverpool got thrashed-duh!- 3 to nada) -window shopping at westend. trying to stuff traditional hungarian pancakes into my already well-fed tummy-
Day 4: MAd rush to the central market to buy souvieners for mum&dad and mouth watering baked goodies..hungarians seem to like anything starting with chocolate or carmel, coated with chocolate,filled with chocolate and topped off with a chocolate glaze...which is fine by me anyday!- 8 hour bus ride to prague (booooooo)
As u possibly can tell by now.. I abso-
fuckinglutly love Budapest.. it's
buda-ful!
Below we have the skyline of
pest with the parliment building featuring as the
star attraction..
across the famous danube river is Buda side feat. BudaCastle where you would find
it's iconic lookout point! seems like something out of a fairytale
and beside that, St Matthais church (i think)
Guess who's Posing in front of Buda castle: gt's rendition of elise
(see karlovy vary)
back to pest for St. Stephen's basilica!
At this point my camera ran out of batteries... but gerald's schoolmates were over at budapest too and we took hundreds of crazy pictures around parliment, along the danube river, in front of zara... (i swear i still hear montse cheerful scream for 'zara!' ringing in my ears ) and later a couple of shots with serena at the westend mall-or as the hungarian like to say the largest shopping mall in central europe-..i'll try to post them or steal them off gerald's blog... overall it was fanatasic destination city(wayyyyyy better than prague- serena u should trust me on this) can't wait to visit it again.. tt's if i can endure another 8 hour bus ride...
next weekend: Barcelona! (yes montse! Barcelonaaaaaaaaaaa!)
out of point comment: "tina" is a name of a magazine in Hungary and there was this newspaer stand plastered with tinatinatinatinatina.. would have loved to get a picture...
