Hungary; War, BBQ and relaxation

hey gang, This is but another installment of my trip about Europe but before I start telling you about my time in Hungary I would like to say that for me travelling is very cool but every person I meet asks me "so what are you doing next year?" and I casually reply "UmmmmI really don't know." The time I've spent travelling has been really good but I would really like to figure out what I am doing with my life, sometimes I think to myself 'don't worry about it, things will work out in the end' but then I find myself thinking about it 5 minutes later. Its quite annoying not knowing where my life is leading my, all I can do is... nothing and wait for life too take its twists and turns.

Enough of that depressing stuff, lets get back to my trip. Recently I was in Hungary which I was quite excited about for a couple of reasons. 1. Its a cool place. 2. I know someone from there. 3.there is a lot of history that I wanted to explore. I have been travelling for over a month now and most europian cities have the same things in them. Big churches, castles, a nice lake running through or along side it but hungary was different. Yes it had all that stuff but I also had a lot of different things. for example that the thermal baths. We visited these the second day we were there, it was quite cool to experince them but not what I expected. there were heaps of old men sitting in the baths that looked like they had been in there their whole lives but there was also normal pool outside there were pretty cool especially with the weather over here. It is quite hot...

The next day we visited the house of terror with was a real eye opener for how hungary participated in the war. As soon as you walk in there is a huge tank to greet you and lots of information along with pictures and video of what went on. I didnt realise how much Hungary had to do with the nazis and communisim. Its quite interesting to find out about I would recommend that if you don't know much about it, look it up.

That night we went out for tea to a mongolian BBQ which was all you could eat. Trust me we ate ALL we could came came out quite full. It was really cool as well you chose what you wanted and took it to the cook who cooked it in front of you.

All in all Hungary is a very cool place to visit and I would recommend it to anyone. Until next time friends, watch this space.
