I’m loving your blog! Oh how I wish you were still in Budapest!! That is where Ben stayed during a semester and I had the pleasure of visiting him there for about 12 days. If you’re still in the vicinity, I would encourage you to track down a park that is a short train ride away from town to visit a crazy, dilapidated place that is filled with many statues of the areas fallen communist leaders. I feel certain you would find it to be both interesting and amusing. It was called Memento Park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_Park
Budapest was a dream! I loved so much about the place. Jim actually met me there and stayed in the airbnb I had rented from a New Yorker who had dual citizenship. We had a blast. I hope you made it to a ruin pub too. 🥰
It would be awesome to spend a semester studying in a place like Budapest. I saw a toppled statue of Lenin in Poland laying on the side of the street, but I missed Memento park. Sounds like my kind of place! One of my apartments in Budapest was on a street in the main pub district, quiet by day, and suddenly packed after dark.
