1) Trip to Budapest

We took our final before we start out trip to Budapest. We left on May 15th in the afternoon. After class we went back to dorm and packed everything. We left around 7PM. We took the bus from Olomouc to Brno. We stop in Brno about 4 hours. Actually, it is not really bad. We had fun there. We went to KFC had supper. Then we went to the movie theater. We watched movie called Pitch Perfect. That was really good movie. you can either choose the English speaking with Czech subtitle, or Czech speaking. After that we were walk around. Brno defintaly is bigger than Olomouc, so you should be careful when you walk around. It is bad ideal if you walk around by yourself during the night. Later on, we find a bar where we went last time. We had couple drink and then we went back to the bus station waiting for our next bus from Brno to Budapest. We arrived in Budapest on May 16th, in the morning. There was a ATM in then train station. So you don't have to worry about how to get the currency. And also, there is the train pass you can buy. You either use the cried card or cash you get the subway ticket. Because the hostel check in time started at 2, when we got to the hostel, we wound able to check in.. So we were just waiting in the hostel, get WIFI.. talk with friends, whatever, to kill time. Then we decided to walk around in Budapest since we have plenty of time. We left our luggage in the hostel and went out. Budapest is busy city. Since we bought the train pass, so we took the subway. The subway is so old and poor. But it is ok, it is still running. At least, it can take you to the place you want. We went to the Szent Istvan Bazilika  and St. Stephen's Basilica. And also we visited the Parliament Building, which is Budapest's landmark. Parliament Building is the largest country in mainland Europe will be building (the second largest in Europe). Capitol was built in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was designed and supervised the construction of the famous Hungarian architect Imre Steindl. Building a total of 691 rooms, meeting rooms and halls, 27 doors, staircases total length of over 20 kilometers. I am highly recommend you visited there during the night. Everything looks so gorgeous with the lighting.
I took the picture in the same place during the day time and night time. However, I cannot upload my pictures. I will try to upload the pictures later if it will works.
My first favorite part is we went to the hot spring in Szechenyi-gyogyfurdo, which is located in Hungary City Park. Its Europe's largest spa and the water from two springs. It has inside and out side different pool. It is wonderful place to go and relax. After this we had some lunch around hostel, then we took nap.
The second favorite thing is we did the Escape thing.Its like a team work game. Basically, it is you are trapped in the house, you need find out the thing and escape from the room. That was really fun.
After that we had some local food and walk around and enjoin the night view.
I really had fun in Budapest. Actually we didn't do must sightseeing, it's, more like a relaxing trip for me.
Then we took the bus came back on May 18th. I feel like the times fly. It is almost the end of the semester. It is really sad to think about it.Anyway, we should enjoying the time we are together. Having fun in Europe.
