More Pictures

Here are some more pictures from when we were traveling in Budapest.


After we went to the Basilica, we kept walking northwards towards the Parliament. This is me trying to pose like the guy on the bridge..


This is my mom in front of the Parliament.


It has really nice architecture. I don't quite know the style (baroque?), but if you see more of my Hungary pictures you'll realize that there are so many different types of styles and eras of architecture throughout the city. It's really, really cool. Basically, I was told it's because there would always be buildings destroyed through wars and they'd build new ones in that particular era.


In front of something else, I don't really know.


We went on a tour the next day and they took us to one of the highest points in Budapest where we could get a panoramic view. Hahahaha, I accidentally included that guy stretching in the picture.


The tour also took us to a Castle in Buda (Budapest = Buda on one side of the Danube and Pest on the other... The other pictures were in Pest). Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of Buda's Castle, but this is the view from it. What's cool about Buda's Castle, is that there's a bunch of caves underneath it. I hear there are a lot of caves to visit in Budapest. Hopefully I'll get to visit next time.


This is the night view.


To those that don't know (i.e. Terrance), I'm studying business abroad in Budapest as an exchange student. The orientation was yesterday. At night we got to meet other international students and they had an old Hungarian folk dance performance for us. It was REALLY COOL! Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera because I didn't want to risk getting it mugged on the walk back home. Basically, there was a lot of slapping the knees and stopping. But it was cool.
