Communist left overs

---

So my first taste of Hungary from the train was favorable. Lots of fields and farm lands and billboards with too many z´s. My first impression of Budapest was a little unfavorable though because as soon as you get off the train you get lots of people asking you if you have accomodation and you don´t know what is a scam and what isn´t so you just kind of ignore them.

Jack and I met some people in the hostel last night and we went out which was fun. We went to what is supposed to be a jazz club but they had a band playing 80s rock which was still fun. Then we went to this like outdoor club with a couple dance floors and styles of music. We ended up mostly just watching drunk Hungarians dance in the moat around the bar. This provided us with a few hours of entertainment. Then we walked back through Buda over the Danube (which is no longer beautiful nor blue) to Pest which is where our hostel is. Good night

I think we got out of the hostel about 1 in the afternoon today because we got back real late and slept in too. Jack and I just walked around and climbed up a hill with a citadel and some statues on it. The architecture is crazy to look at because you have the remains of the Austro-Hungarian days which has a lot of like spires and sculptures on the outside, along with some buildings that you can tell get owned by bombs during the war. Then you have next to those the drab, plain, monotonous buildings the communists built, which our hostel actually is one of.

I have picked up one Hungarian word, kösönom, which means thank you.
