Placeholder Thread for Jason_T to Talk About Budapest
I've been in Budapest for a day, but only on the Pest side of the river. Seems very beautiful and cosmopolitan so far, although not nearly as cheap as Prague (still cheaper than W. Europe however). Here's a picture of St. Stephen's Basilica I took around sunset.

You will be sick of hearing about the guy by the time you leave.

Re: Placeholder Thread for Jason_T to Talk About Budapest
With the bird flu possibly spreading through Eastern Europe I am kind of glad I got out of there when I did. Have fun anyways.
My next European trip I will try to hit up most of the former Soviet States before they all start converting to the Euro.

When they convert to the Euro I see two of these three qualities dissolving.

Smiley,
I don't know if you saw the prague contact thread, but apparently we missed each other at the same hostel by about 1 week. Would have been quite fun to meet up with another 2p2'er while in Prague. Just kind of curious, have you been telling people you make your money from playing poker? (Or maybe you actually have a real job?)

I haven't been like volunteering the info, but if people ask me what I do, or how I plan to travel for so long I tell them. The vast majority think it's really cool and ask the standard round of questions. -SmileyEH
