Today I took a train from Vienna, Austria to Budapest, Hungary. When I got here I first bought another onward train ticket. However, things are a little different here. It is a hand written ticket and I can’t understand anything on it. I just hope it is for the correct day and time! Also the lady who sold me the ticket kept talking to herself the whole time, which was strange. I looked around, he wasn’t talking on the phone, there was no one else in the room.
There’s another new currency here in Hungary, the Forint. 1000 HUF is about $5. I’m trying not to change money, but simply withdrawal local money from ATMs, which seems to work well. I walked around the city of Budapest for a while, crossing the Chain Bridge over the river. Budapest seems like a nice modern city overall.
