“Szia” means hello and goodbye in Hungarian. That was one of the first words I learned when I arrived in Budapest along with “sör”, which means beer, and “egészségedre”, which means cheers! I actually have a Hungarian course, so I wish to learn more so that I can run errands in Hungarian. It is not an easy language to learn, I can tell you that much – even for us Finns who should learn Hungarian a bit easier than other nationalities.
This month has gone by so fast that I am afraid that I will run out of time. There is so much to do in Budapest and I want to do it all! Honestly, there is something going on every day. Farm markets, thermal baths, outdoor events, bars, hanging out with friends… You really can not get bored in Budapest. We have already visited Széchenyi thermal baths, traveled to Vienna, been to an ice cream festival and tasted Hungarian national drink, Palinka.
Budapest is definitely one of my favorite cities in whole Europe – you fall in love with the city the first time you see the lights of Budapest reflecting on Danube at night. Seriously. Not to mention all the parks and ruin pubs… Truly incredible. I would recommend Budapest to anyone.
Greetings from Budapest!
Riikka
