2. Round The Pest

On Sunday, Varsárnap (marketday) the weather was nagyon szép! So I went out exploring. It’s amazing, the sun is shining, and you don’t melt, UV index 2, not 12, 14ºC, no screen of sun needed, wild.

Basically every back street in the downtown (belváros) area looks like this. However, I image the further out I go the less grandiose things become.

Castle? Nope, Nyugati train station (Nyugati pályaudvar)

Traveling to a new city always sparks joy in my street photography bones. Like there is always something more/new to see.

I found a strange little pop up art installation. Basically it is two hallways the look like toilet cubicles. But each one has a different hyper pop art installation in it, all by the same artist. And yes they are completely functional…

I can’t believe Tool are playing in Budapest two weeks after I leave…

Castle? Nope, Parliament house.

Fun fact: one of my favorite Hungarian words is ‘hajó’ which means boat. But it’s pronounced ‘hi-yo!!!’ (kind of…a little bit)

My first day of Magyar nyelvű iskola (Hungarian language school) is today!
