BUDAPEST

Things I have noticed about Budapest - and the I am not insulting anyone here, just my observations:

• The public Transport system seems to work really well and can probably give London a run for their money.
• Pedestrian lights are timed, no buttons to press.
• Metro workers are quite militant and there is no room for error, we got off 2 stops too late and had to pay to go back.
• Majority of Hungarian people are really friendly.
• Most young Hungarians can speak English
• Budapest is a very sophisticated city with beautiful old baroque buildings, probably more than any other big European city that I have been to.
• Vibrant City, with a great night life
• The city never sleeps
• Lots of beggars but they hardly ever approach you
• A lot of grey apartment blocks outside the city, left over from the Communist occupation
• Bottled water is Cheap, a 500ml is no more than 40c at the Spar
• Cigarettes are Cheap about €3.80 compared to €9.80 in Ireland - Derrick is in his element
• The Stall guys near the metro don't haggle you, if you don't want to pay that price then don't buy it.
• Too many beggars rummaging through the dustbins ... so sad

Thought for today!

I cannot change the way I am, I never really try, God made me different and unique, I never ask him why. If I appear peculiar, There's nothing I can do, You must accept me as I am, As I've accepted you. God made a casting of each life, Then threw the Mold away, Each child is different from the rest, Unlike as night from day. So often we will criticize, The things that others do, But, do you know, they do not think, The same as me and you. So God in all his wisdom, Who knows us all by name, He didn't want us to be bored, That's why we're not the same ~Author Unknown~
