I ventured out this afternoon with the only goal of finding dinner. Well I sorta cheated in that I went to Vapiano BUT there was no English spoken in the two transactions before I had bought dinner so it wasn't a total cheat.
I also did a bit of window shopping and determined that I probably do need to buy some boots. About 2 blocks into my adventure I stepped into the street thinking I was stepping on slush but it was really a slush covered puddle - yuck.
i am also adding to my observations:
snow is cleared here by hand by men using wheelbarrows and wearing bright yellow vests. i think this explains why sidewalks and roads are not very well cleared.
manhole covers are pretty - see picture
only terrible american chains make their way across the globe - burger king, mcdonalds
there are a lot of "parks" with statues of men - maybe I should learn about who they are.
Love it, Kel! The photos are great, too! Glad it's going well so far. Can't wait to hear more! Miss you lots.
ReplyDeletedo all the manholes look the same? who knew manholes could be art?!?
ReplyDeleteyeah all the manholes are the same - some are a bit bigger and have budapest written on them - i will have to take more pictures of them when there is better light - they really are quite pretty.
ReplyDeletei know! i was thinking that if they were different, you could start a Budapest manhole picture portfolio (that sounded kinda dirty, teehee).
