Yesterday, we woke up at 4:30 A.M. and left for Houston at 6:25 in the morning. We were on a very crowded plane with one seat on one side and two seats on the other. Then, we ate and left for Boston. In Boston, we had an hour layover then we went to Frankfort, Germany. After a seven hour flight to Budapest, we arrived at our destination!
When we got to Budapest it was 9 A.M. on Sunday. We took a cab to our hotel, the Corinthia. We checked in and walked around the city for a bit and looked at the old buildings from the late 1800's. My parents and I got confused when we went on the subway. We went the opposite direction we were supposed to!!! We went to Margret Island and saw a water fountain that played to music! When music played, the water fountain had spouts where the water shot out. It was really neat.
When we got hungry later in the day, we went to Blue Fish and had some seafood. My mom and I had shrimp and my dad had octopus. It was very good. The people are very nice, but the people are very depressed. The food is expensive, and the people wear dark clothes. They haven't renovated the buildings. They have been here since World War II.
My first impression of Budapest are the people are very strict because they were not free for a long time, but they are very nice. If you are confused about something, the people come and help you whether they know English or not. I have not seen one building that has been built in the past 100 years.
