One of the big cathedrals in Budapest
if you don't know what exactly you want in Budapest, that might get you lost big time.
For me, I spent 4 hours searching for my hostel because I messed up the address. At first I took the right bus but the wrong direction, then i took the same one back but past the right stop, funny thing is that the hostel never told u what stop to get off at but only the 8th stop to get off so u never know which one is right. so after all that time wasted on public transport, the description led me to one of the main streets and I couldn't find the number wanted because I thought the big street ended at the intersection but actually it ended in the middle of a straight road. it was really weird. but even after I found out about that the door was not the right one because the hostel was in an alley but the description sort of implied that it's on the same main street because it said just walk down to door number 8.
Anyhow, I got really tired and frustrated after four hours and almost tried to sleep on the street or just find another one. but finally i found it and i was relieved. so i didn't do much that night.
the second and third day I simply went sightseeing and talked with some cute girls on the street helping out tourists or trying sell us tickets for the city tour. it was fun to talk with some real locals, some high schoolers and some college goers. I was going to party with them at night but too bad I was already leaving for Prague when they were going there on the weekend.
But I really enjoyed the views in Budapest especially on the hill on the Buda side. I finally bought a ticket from the girls to go on a city bus tour and it was totally worth it because I also got a free ride on a boat on the Donau,or Danube.
And something real funny onboard happened on the bus.
So three Swedish get onboard and see a jacket on the seat so take it to the guide telling her that someone forgot it there. But as it turns out it was from an American family with a Caucasian husband, Asian (most likely Chinese or Taiwanese) wife, and a kid. They put the jacket there to reserve the seat. So when they get on the bus, the wife complains to the husband that someone has already taken the seat so the husband starts whining about it. The Swedes explain how they saw it and took it to the guide and it makes sense to me. But the Americans do not ask for the seats back but sit down. But the husband, who is now sitting right next to one Swede, starts saying bullshit like "Nowadays tourists are just obnoxious and blah blah blah, it was obvious that people save seats with a jacket..." So the Swede sitting next to the husband can't take it anymore and tells him what she did was right and argues on. And the American just doesn't wanna let go so keeps on arguing as well. So another Swede turns around and talks with the Swede sitting next to the American, IN SWEDISH. I can understand a little and I assure you they are not saying anything obscene about the Americans. So now the American man gets really pissed off because he can't understand them. So he goes, "Don't think that if u speak ur language I won't know that you are mocking me, I know another foreign language too, but I'm too nice to use it against you! If my daughter is not present I promise you I'd cuss" At the moment I am thinking that he might be referring to Chinese or Taiwanese ,which I can understand perfectly, because of his wife. And finally the Swede tells him to shut up, he goes, I am this close to smacking you (with the hand doing a measuring gesture indicating how close.) Then the Swede goes (btw, all the Swedes were female),"shut your fucking filthy mouth!" Then the American guy snaps and almost jumps up from the chair to smack her.
I found it extremely funny because if they had swore all in their own language I would understand them all!!! and maybe just tell them what the others were saying against them. hehe
