eurotip: BUDAPEST

This past weekend was a holiday in germany, and one of my friends was like: so Lucy, what up? wanna go to Budapest? and well, you know me: OF COURRRRRRSEEEEEEE!!
so on we go, a japanese (Marie), a brazilian (Gustavo), a german (Andreas), an italian (Lore) and me (just to add flavor and spice :D) we took to the roads and drove to the east.
First we stopped in Wien and got toootally ripped off while trying to eat a wiener snitzel, it was just fried chicken and tiny! but Wien is always beautiful.
In Budapest, it took us foooorever to find the hostel, cuz between the two steps that separated Andreas from the door, he managed to forget the map and directions :D. But anyway, we found it just fine in the end.
The hostel was more like a flat that someone just rents out by rooms of several people, it was quite nice, we had neighbors from rumania and some hunky dudes that were in Budapest for a metalica concert, YES! you read it right! I found out the next day of the concert! aaaarrggghhhh!!! >(
So, thursday night, we met István (marie's friend from high school) and he took us out for dinner and we ate traditional hungarian food, it was so delicious!
On friday we just went around the city and to a thermal bath. The place looked like a little castle.
After a while, marie and I satrted people watching (mostly guys of course), and wow, how many wierd people there are, and from everywhere, there were several groups of french old dudes (and as always, next to me, french follows me everywhere), people from USA, the bleached-bitchy-blond-cougar with the not so hot old dude, the cute black guy, nirvana guy (he looked like kurt cobain was his idol or something), and so on, it was very funny. Nirvana-guy started talking to us but when our entourage (the guys :D) came back, he sort of went away and just stared at us from across the pool. Creepy.
Then we went for dinner to a sports restaurant, very cool. Then we found a tarantino party with very cheap beer, so awesome as well. Afterwards we went to a club that had several dancing rooms, and basements, and bars and well... you get the idea... cool :D we danced til they kicked us out at 430 am :D
On sat we finally left the hostel at like... 3pm and the weather was teeeerrible, we walked around, crosssed the danube, went up to the castle and around. then we went into a cafe shop that was very cool, and drank hot chocolate and ate pizza.
Then we finally got back and got ready to go out. We went to a cool basement-sports-bar. Then everybody went back to the hostel, but lore and I went to an irish pub... it was filled with creeps!!! the pub was cool, but the people there were wierd beyond measure. We made a friend that would've liked either of us jajaja
On sunday, we walked around a little more, went to buy some traditional hungarian schnapps and headed back.
Budapeset is an awesome city, has something fun, interesting or cool to offer at every turn. The people are very nice and helpful. Me like it!
