Day 11 (Part-1) - Hungary

Eastern Europe - (Just North of) The Balkans
Budapest, Hungary

The song playing in the background is "Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 in C# minor", written by Franz Liszt, and performed by Serg van Gennip.

BTW, on a note of sadness...

Coincidentally, on the day I uploaded this video: Dr. Tom Lantos (nee, Lantos Tamás Péter) today lost his battle with cancer.

He was a Hungarian-born American Congressman who had twice escaped Nazi-run labor camps while he was a teenager during WW-II.

Here is a good interview with him:

I like it a lot, you only showed the city's nice side after all, what I think of with nostalgia :). Imagine what it could be like with Vienna's money.. It also made me realise that I have never been inside the dome nor the synagogue myself. I must go next time I'll be home. I generally wonder what it like is from the tourist's point of view, thanks for sharing. I like your choice of music too.

Now I am going to step in your shoes and watch your other videos of places I haven't been to (yet).

Szia, Tamas. Köszönöm.

since when is Hungary in the Balkans?

[zgdn01]

You are absolutely correct -- it's not. Actually though, I put that in the descriptive title of the trip because most of our time (10 out of 11 days) was spent there. Budapest was where we ended the vacation.

It is a beautiful city. The architecture is breath-taking, and the people were very nice to us.

I see on your channel that your hometown is Budapest. Do you have any other thoughts or comments on the video? How about the Liszt Ferencz?

Anyway, I hope you'll overlook that one oversight, and enjoy this and the second part (which I am still working on) in a few days.

köszöntések...

@zgdn01 my friend, i mean no disrespect, but Romania also doesn't belong to the Balkans

Hi,

Back than I was searching for Budapest, this time it was Mr. Lantos and it's a complete coincidence that I found your video again so I only read your answers now. Thanks for changing it and sorry for being so negative.
