Few words about living in Budapest

Writing has always been my passion, but somehow on the way I've given up to pursue this interest of mine. Anyway this year has been pretty tough on me, but it seems I got the closure eventually. I'm in Budapest now where I've started working in a multinational company, which is good to be frank. Well getting back to the novel thing ... In the moment where I'm now I reckon I've gathered enough of experience that could be valuable for my book, if i will finally write one. I mean I should , no let's not mention this kind of expressions as woulda shoulda etc. In this post I'm not gonna marvel at Budapest, I'm not gonna tell you how beautiful the Danube is, how cool parties gets here, how beautiful the people are.. In the contrary I will list all of the things that get on my nerves pretty often.


1. People don't know how to walk properly.
Well I'm not kidding seriously they cross your way too often, immersed in their thoughts so deeply in the morning bumping into people, walking as if they were sloshed the prior night. WTF?

2. The language
Certainly one of the most difficult in this world sounds like a mixture of Turkish, Finish, Swedish and whatever. But I just don't like it...

3. Girls
I don't know if its the same everywhere but I've been couple of places and I've never seen this kind of phenomenon where you get inside the club and they are just waiting there to be ....taken home by a foreign guy. Yes they are crazy about everything that is Italian, Spanish and so on. The more money you have the higher your chances get !

4. Food
I'm not a fervent fan of Polish cuisine but being here makes me love it to the core :)

Ok enough! Please mind I'm not trying to say Hungarians are horrible and everything. There are many good things about Hungary and so on, and to finish I will tell you a thing that befell me the first day I came here.

I was in front of the ticket machine trying to purchase 10 tickets and I realized it doesn't accept the 10 000 banknote and I was completely out of coins so I just basically wanted to cancel the operation, but nevertheless there was a little kiddo behind me and he took my finger off of the screen and put 200 missing forints. Apparently some parents know how to raise their kids! Hats off
