Trip to Budapest - the place with cartoon-ic language


Buildings in Budapest

Expensive caviar in Budapest

White restaurant, were everything is white and looks great (not like the crappy place in Levanger - Bar & Sirkus)

A Giraffe of beer (2,5l) (3000 HUF - 100 NOK)

Name of a good dancing-place

Another bar

Pub where you can eat peanuts for free and have to throw them on the floor, and visit-cards hanging everywhere on the walls and ceiling

Ray-painting show, means that large headlights colored a lot of buildings with art

"Follow that taxi" - works with 3 taxis in a row

Tourists taking pictures of us taking pictures of eachother. Had to take a picture of them

Inside one of the nicest buildings I have seen

Train back home

This is the f***ing boarder-police! (Read more about this issue further down)

UPDATE: Does not have time to describe the whole trip,but some of these sentences will definitly make the people who where on the trip to remember some strange situations.
- "PASSPORT-CONTROL!", screamed out by the border police 3 times during trip from Prague to Budapest - and 3 times on the way back. Impossible to sleep with this.
- "TICKET-CONTROL!", screamed out loud by train-inspector 3-6 times during the trip.
- we lived in an apartment rented from some very nice guys. It was cheap and they where very friendly showing us everything we needed to know (hungaryapartment.com)
- "monday-th-century building", said by me - because I was tired of all the guids telling about the buildings from the 12th-century and so on.
- "Semi-conductor", the retarded train-conductor on all the trains Prague-Budapest.
- "I`m so hungry I`m going to freeze to death", once again an unique sentence by me. We were sitting in a restaurant outside, it was cold and I hadn`t been eating anything for 24 hours. We started to discuss if it is similar if you starve to death or freeze to death (when you freeze to death someone say that you can feel warm right before you die) - and I was starting to get not hungry anymore, so was afraid of dying :)
- "Do you speak Norwegian? (in hungarian)", I asked some local hungarian (the one with the nice mustach on the pictures) how I could say that sentence. I asked the sentence to the first girl we met - and she was actually from Norway too. I met alot of Norwegians in Budapest. Strange to bump into people so far from home.
- The train-trip (10 hours) back home from Budapest was funny (not when it happened, but to days after). We had ordered a sleeping-wagon, but the previuous semi-conductor did not give us the right ticket back. So we had to sit in 1. class for 7 hours - and then switch to 2. class the last 3 hours (withouth any heating, open windows, lights that could not be switched off and impossible seats to sleep in).
