1. The baths. Oh, heavenly bodies of hot thermal waters. I could sit there all day.
2. Goulash. I have officially been converted to a meat eater. For now, anyway. This stuff is amazing.
3. The House of Terror museum. By far the absolute coolest museum I've ever been to. It covers the Nazi and Soviet occupations of Hungary - and is located at the former headquarters of the secret police of both governments. In the basement, you walk through the torture chambers used in the 1950s.
4. The views from the Citadel - a big hill on the Buda side, overlooks the entire city. It's beautiful.
5. It's cheap! $2 for a beer at a bar. Saw a $1 bottle of wine at the market.
6. The crazy language. Seeeya!! means hello and goodbye. I think.
7. The food. In general. Oh man. If you like meat and potatoes, come to this place.
So then I'm off to Krakow tonight on a night train. Keep your fingers crossed for me - I've heard some stories about these night trains. But someone just arrived at my hostel this morning via the night train from Krakow, and he made it here alive. So my chances are good, right?
