hungarian culture

Budapest

Hungarians look like us They are more densely packed.

University Library

Older people try to dress well

however, college students dress like our students mostly.

Kids Celebrating Revolution Day March 15th 1848.

Everyone in Hungary know Hungarian history.

The revolution failed but they still celebrate.

Hungarians Honor tradition

Busts of all the famous professors (just about everyone)

Plaques and wreathes are everywhere

My neighborhood was an odd contrast of old & new

Hungarians live frugally!

My neighborhood

More Hungarians OWN their “flats” or apartments than any country in the EU

Apartments don’t allow much privacy

They have buses, subways and trams. For $35.00 a month you have service on most routes every 10-15 minutes and you don’t have to go downtown to switch directions

But of course everyone complains about the transportation

Few Hungarians own clothes dryers

Gas cook stoves don’t have pilot lights. You must light the burners and oven each time you use them.

Hungarians must have fresh bread, vegetables, fruit and flowers.

There are relatively few canned good in the grocery stores

Whether for convenience or from habit, Hungarians seem to prefer shopping for meat and produce at vegetable stands, green grocers and large indoor fresh markets.

The homeless are allowed to sleep wherever they please.

The subway is a popular choice.

I’ll forever miss watching the tourists and not being one of them

Good bye Budapest
