2nd adventure: Megan




NAME: Megan Talboom
AGE: 21
MAJOR: Health and Society (at Wageningen University)
LANGUAGES: Dutch, English
TIME SPENT IN HUNGARY: 2 months
WEIRDEST HUNGARIAN WORD: You have so many :D But the weirdest Hungarian word is the name of the tram stop 4-6: Harminckettesek tere, it's such a long name and way too hard to pronounce! ;) I always have to laugh when the name is called in the tram.
WHAT WOULD YOU TAKE FROM HUNGARY?
The country gave me a totally new view on Hungary, I didn't know it was so 'Western' and that you have so many wineries as well. Some products like beer are really cheap and everything is well arranged. I will take the peace and freedom with me, and the nice people. People in Hungary are more relaxed in everything they do, than people in the Netherlands and I guess they are more 'honest' and 'true' when they speak to you.
WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT BUDAPEST?
There is really a lot of traffic, what is quite normal for a capital city of course, but I don't like the smell of the cars and busses. So maybe more 'traffic free' places in the city and more big city parks to enjoy the nice weather and of course the beautiful city!
FAVOURITE PLACES IN BUDAPEST: Citadella, Bazilika and the Castle District because of the beautiful view.
FAVORITE HUNGARIAN DISH: Goulash
PÁLINKA: HOT OR NOT? Definitely not hot, it’s too strong!
