Favorite thing: Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. Everything intersects here: highways and rail lines. As well as being the center of industry and commerce which break down to opportunities of wealth and power. Some even call this a "one city" country since this is of only concern to most and all decisions are made here regarding the country.Budapest is located in Central Europe when considering the newly released communist eastern block countries. It is actually south of London and Paris (latitude). Enjoying a "continental" climate of mild winters and moderate summers. Major highways are well built out all the way to Budapest from Western Europe providing a good hub to see the surrounding countries from. Since 1990 there has been tremendous growth and development of buildings and parks with a total reconstruction of most roads and highways to and from the city. Hungarians can be considered stylish and prideful with a big heart and eagerness to learn and do better. In short, Budapest is "worthy" to compare with all western European capital cities. When comparing architecture, sometimes also referred to as the "twin city" to Vienna, Austria.

Fondest memory: When overlooking Budapest from the Royal Palace wall or the Fisherman's Bastion of "Castle Hill", it's easy to see why Budapest is sometimes called " The Pearl of the Danube". Its grand turn of the century buildings and beautiful bridges are an architectural marvels and grandiose. The River Danube serves as a good orientation landmark during your visit, with Buda on the hilly left side and flat Pest on the right. You will find sights in Buda, the I district, consisting of "Castle Hill", Gellért-hegy which has the prominent Liberty Statue and the Citadella. Pest is the commercial center or downtown "Belváros" with highlights such as Vaci Street where all can delight in window shopping, fine restaurants and casual cafes.

Favorite thing: Locals of Budapest can be considered hospitable and friendly in most cases. However, you may experience some language barrier. You may come across many English speaking locals around city center, but if you are a little bit out of the city, communication may become a problem. The language barrier is usually overcome by the hospitable and friendly locals.

Fondest memory: Here, I'm showing some friends that I met while I was in Budapest ! It was a truly pleasant stay with the locals being helpful, albeit mis-communications sometimes.
The photo showing Alain (he's French but living in Budapest for years now so the Hungarian life seems to seep in to him); Pointing to something there at one of the Turkish Baths that we went to...

This is a photo of myself, posing there before entering the bath, of course.
It was taken at Gellert Bath as also the previous 2 photos with Alain.
No photo I could take inside the bath because there were too many naked men in there, well...almost.

This is another friendly photo with some of Alain's friend. The far left is truly Hungarian & his Japanese friend & then there was me !
We went out & I met many of Alain's friends actually but I didn't take that many photos with them maybe because I wanted to save my films taking the photos around Budapest's buildings & sceneries.
