First Day:
Checked into our hostel... and we visited the outside of a Jewish Synagogue. It was my first time seeing one. There was St Stephen's church too... grand on the outside.
We ended the day with a meal at the Blue Rose... had some really yummy hungarian food =D It was a three course dinner that was cheap and really satisfying... only eeky thing about the place was the service. The waitress wasn't exactly providing the best service.
We met two Brazilian econs graduates at our hostel. They're actually travelling just before doing their maters. Really cool people... very passionate about economics lol. One of 'em stayed in the UK for a bit so his accent was british (I really like it).
Second Day:
Walked over to the chain bridge... pretty! Climbed up to the Royal Palace... we wanted to save money so we didn't take the big elevator lol. Loitered around the flea market for a bit before heading to Mathyas church (really colourful roof and interior design) ... which was just situated beide the Fisherman's Bastion as well.
We saw really rich chinese people getting married at the Bastion... they had like a limosine and several other luxurious cars parked outside... it was insane. Ohhh there was the interesting Maziban museum as well... everything inside it was made from sugar. We managed to get into the St Stephen's Basilica... and it was as grand on the inside. It offered a really panoramic view of Budapest as well.
Had quite an experience at the baths as well... oooo nice warm jacuzzi waters *becomes dreamy* I had to rent some really ugly swimwear though. *cringe* There was some festival (I think it's labor day) going on in Heroes' Square as well.
Third day:
Finally visited the Jewish Synagogue before we left.
Anyway I just arrived in Vienna today. Ate schnitzel for dinner and it was rather disappointing. It wa just breaded pork chop lol. We ended up watching the AC milan and Man U match. I was kinda sad when Man U lost... no idea why -_- Maybe I'm an innate Man U fan!
The past two days in Budapest were really well spent. I absolutely adored the city. It had the most amazing architecture and it wasn't just the important buildings... every wtreet had one or two nice structures to marvel at. It was really different from the rest of the european countries that I've visited... it's less developed actually. We took rides in lao pok trains and the dodgy areas resembled some parts of Malaysia. However... the ambience was somewhat rustic and elegant at the same time.
