HUNGARY | Wednesday, 18 July 2007 | Views [626]

SO after 40 hours on the train which could also be translated in 1.5 books we arrived in Budapest. What a beautiful city! The buildings are incredible. We walked around and found our hosts place. We didnt know which name to ring at the bell so we needed to call her and ask. for that we had to get some money.so we walked and walked to find an atm but we were walking the opposite directions from the one we should so we found one after 1.5 hour.we bought a card and call her to realize her place was at the basement of the building(thats means there was no bell..j!) the lady who owned this place used to run a cafe or something like that. after a few minutes 2 guys from amsterdam arrived.that was their first time to couchsurf.and because of a pricelist on a table they thought they had to pay for th service so they decided to leave earlier(They didnt even sleep there)and leave back 30 euros!!i think they got kind of scared cause the ladys husband a 34 year old nigerian didnt stop talking and insist on doing this and that with us.we did go to the disco later the same night with our hosts.what they called disco was a really nice place, on the open air with 2 stages and ok music and LOTS of people dancing.it wasnt even on a weekend but it was still pretty crowded and it was nice.next day we woke up to find ourselves locked between the hallway and the front door.we were knocking and could also hear voices talking which meant to us that they woke up already but they wouldnt open the door.we were knocking and knocking for one hour when she finally opened the door for us and we managed to leave.we walked around the city and made our way to the train station where it was SO hard to get any kind of information.the guy at the desk couldnt speak any english,he ended up giving us a ticket for a train that didnt exist! i mean he gave us the cheapest ticket but there were only intercities going to the city where we were heading so we needed to buy a supplement.it was crazy.on the ticket there was no information about the time,depot or anything so u had to find all these by urself using the announcement board.after spending an hour there waiting in lines or going from the information desk to the board,to and fro we made it to get on a train to PECS where our next host was waiting..
