Budapest

So this was one of the more interesting voyages. I checked my bag with my passport in it but the girl wanted my passport to check me on to the bus? my drivers license did not suffice? For the BUS that cost about 7 euros. OK. Then about an hour in we stopped for gas. But then we didn't leave...yet the but was still running. I do not speak Hungarian but I think they didn't have enough money to pay for the gas. This set us back an hour. Other things to note, they played Captain America and there was a crazy smelly guy on the bus.

I decided last minute to switch my hostel as I read that the one I was going to did not have a door on the girls washroom? This would prove to be one of the better decisions I made the entire trip. Since we got in late the subway was closed. I had no idea what to do. Really everything hinged on my using public transport. Fuck. I got on a random trolley that seem to be heading in the right direction. I eventually noticed some American girls and asked them if they knew how I could get to my hostel. We got a cab and then everything was fine. The hostel was alright but I was tired. I met my room mate a French guy and when to bed.

Next day I woke up and noticed a pretty severe dirty person smell. WTF. I guess the guy from the bus arrived in the middle of the night to ruin my stay. I mean it wasn't strong so much as it was really disgusting. Clearly just unwashed genitals. There is a shower why wouldn't you use it? Since I was in the smaller room inside of the bigger room I just kept the doors closed and waited for him to leave. I could tell cause the smell would go away. I got ready and got groceries. This was the view outside of my hostel.



I needed food and coffee bad. I was getting everything ready and this troupe of Aussies were really fucking up my shit. Getting in my way, stealing my spot and all in all just annoying the fuck out of a coffee deprived and olfactory abused me. Not to mention they were mad cool but not trying to know me. Despite this I drank far too much coffee and spent the day on the internet freaking out about my internet relationship and the fact that my boss fucked me out of $800 to my internet boyfriend. I settled down and just started deleting people off of my facebook that I wouldn't say hi to in person, surprisingly relaxing.

There was an organized pub crawl going on and I was slightly interested only cause the guy who worked at the hostel invited me out and I hadn't done anything else that day. Oh that reminds me about these girls that were also there from Canada. Very annoying party girls. Definite woooooo girls. They announced everything loudly including the purchase of drugs and use of them in an apple bong. Also pulling the classic I am from Canada so this isn't even cold so I will dress inappropriately.

Regardless I decided to drink away my social discomfort and go out with strangers. The French guy from my room was there and we talked a lot cause I was the only person that could speak French, and we bonded over the sick smelling guy. Oh! another fun fact smelly dude also pissed all over the seat whenever he used the washroom. While walking to the bar I started talking with the Aussie girls that helped ruin my life earlier. Particularly Milli we bonded over how annoying the Canadian girls were, how much we hated each other earlier and hip hop. This eternal friendship was sealed when she asked about Lauren Hill and I told her I could do her entire verse from ready of not, she then challenged me to do it and I was drunk enough that once someone started me off I did.

Things got a little out of control activities after this included but are not limited to: bathroom drinking, fighting with a bartender, stealing the mic from a karaoke singer, singing our own karaoke songs poorly, stealing a beanie, dancing, yelling, multiple people street vomiting and serious heart to hearts.

Next morning the smell was unbearable. Plus I was a little hung over on top of getting cramps. Fuck this I am sleeping forever. Finally at 2pm I heard my room mate talking about me so I came out and Milli was waiting for me. everyone else went to a walking tour and to the baths. We chilled and watched movies until everyone got back and then we had burritos. I also decided to change rooms. I hadn't even considered it but it made sense. I got in with the girls plus Harry's room. Just to be clear the girls are Milli, Siena, Alex, Amity and Tess plus Tess's boyfriend Harry.

Next Day the girls packed up and I went with Harry and Tess to pick up bus tickets with plans then to go to the Terror Museum. But they tried to go to Eurolines but needed everyone's passport so it was a big mess. We decided instead to split and I would go to Terror and they would meet up later. Terror was long and there was a lot of reading and it was a bit of a bummer.


I went for a walk and tried to go to the baths but I was too late. Here is a photo I took. 


Next day I checked out but I had an overnight bus so I read over all my terror info and then go out to the free walking tour. It was really cold but really good. Which I feel bad about cause I had no money. On the tour I met some other Canadian and we went out for dinner after. They were super nice. Here is a view from the tour. I was outside of the castle looking at the Parliament then my camera ran out of room or the batteries died IDK.


We went back to my hostel and got my bag and I said goodbye to my new friends. On to the next.
