When I first heard about Hungary, I was thinking whether it is hungry, why should people named their country hungry, very katak di bawah tempurung saya. I have never imagine myself travel to such a beautiful city, Budapest. Despite the sad melody of the national anthem, and sad history of itself, Budapest is an eye opening one. There were many traces about the Jewish and the Hitler here as well. This entire trip has been an amazing one because I finally seeing all those monuments, memorials and architecture real in front of me, with my eyes, I can even touch them although I did not. I am still feeling so thankful even until now. God is good! and the statement saying that spent on travelling gave you much pleasure and satisfaction than buying a luxury good is true. HAHAHA. at least, I'm buying it.
I joined a paid walking tour which starts in the morning. We walked pass the park, how can every park be so nice. I felt like getting out the floor map and people watching already.
After passing by the park, we entered into another park. LOL. and this is another memorial for all the Jewish. The black eagle represents the Hitler and Nazis. The cool things about the water fountain is that there is a sensor, which is movement detect-able, we can even walk into the center of the water fountain w/o getting wet. katak di bawah tempurung again. HAHAHA.
The magnificent Hungarian Parliament building, the second largest in Europe, after England's.

It started to rain and we were heading back to hostel after a long day walking around the town. I forgot what we had for dinner and what we did. I think I slept around 7pm. LOL. I should have try the Roman bath, next time perhaps? ;p
