2. Budapest

3. Hungarians look like us
They are more densely packed.

4. University Library

5. Older people try to dress well
however, college students dress like
our students mostly.

7. Kids Celebrating Revolution Day March 15th 1848.
Everyone in Hungary know Hungarian history.
The revolution failed but they still celebrate.

8. Hungarians Honor tradition

9. Busts of all the famous professors (just about everyone)

10. Plaques and wreathes are everywhere

11. My neighborhood was an odd contrast of old & new
Hungarians live frugally!

13. My neighborhood was a contrast of old & new
More Hungarians
OWN their “flats”
or apartments
than any country
My neighborhood
in the EU

16. Apartments don’t allow much privacy

17. They have buses, subways and trams. For $35.00 a month you have service on most
routes every 10-15 minutes and you don’t have to go downtown to switch directions
But of course everyone complains about the transportation

18. Few Hungarians own clothes dryers
Gas cook stoves don’t have pilot lights. You must light
the burners and oven each time you use them.

19. Hungarians must have fresh bread, vegetables, fruit
and flowers.
There are relatively few canned
good in the grocery stores

20. Whether for convenience or from habit, Hungarians seem to
prefer shopping for meat and produce at vegetable stands,
green grocers and large indoor fresh markets.

21. The homeless are allowed to sleep wherever
they please.
The subway is a popular choice.

22. I’ll forever miss watching the tourists and not being one of them

23. Good bye Budapest 
