A Budapost from Budapest

Fresh off a disappointing experience in Prague (where not one single local pitched in to share insider tips that would’ve injected our visit with real experiences), we moved on to Budapest with our reserves of optimism half-empty, convinced that another ExperienceLess effort would fall flat again.

We second-guessed ourselves, wondering if our message was clear enough. Given the cultural and linguistic nuances, we thought we might have a hard time meeting our target objectives.

All doubts vanished five minutes after sitting down with our sign in Deak Square, located in the heart of the city and a meeting point for native citizenry. What a true uplift to witness the ease and amiability with which we were received!

Needless to say, our Moleskine filled up with experiences to savor in Budapest almost instantly. The highlight of our “sit” occurred when three young guys came over to chat and invited us to celebrate a friend’s birthday at a bar right on the Danube. We didn’t give things a second thought and ended the night toasting the “friendship” engendered by our makeshift cardboard sign. The improvised fete wrapped up at the crack of dawn, 6ish or so. Unfortunately – or perhaps, fortunately – no photographs were taken to record the goings-on that night.
