Budapest Part Two

So this entry is going to be all about the night scene and the baths. It is probably going to be politically incorrect and bias, but those who know me would/should expect nothing less.

Night Life

Last night I experienced my first night out in Budapest after the Turkey game. To my surprise it was quiet entertaining. This was helped by me being the only girl with1o other guys. This gave me all the benefits of being looked after.

So here is what I have noticed from my time out.

• While the music on the radio is reasonably up to date with what its like at home, at the clubs it certainly is not the case. The most recent song would have been from 2000. The music in general was bad. There was either really bad old pop songs (which never played fully) or Hungarian pop which sounded like Euro Pop (need I say more). The Hungarians love this music however.



• Budapest clubs seem to go on forever and do not show any sign of closing. This understandably has its good and bad points. Due to being home late, my day started quiet late today.



• They appear to be less sophisticated about their drinking here. when asked if they have a Pino I was looked at strangely. Apparently they either just have white, red or sparkling wine.



• Outside bars are common here due to the great weather. An additional benefit to this is the outside huts they have connected to them where you can chill out next to the Dunte (river) while having a drink of whatever.



• Dress code is different from home. Its hard to be polite about this. Overall the groups impression was that a lot of the people (males included) looked like they were prostitutes. The guys also thought that they acted like it too.
  

The Baths

The baths are one large fest of people lazying around in the sun. While it is crowded and expensive for what it is, it is certainly a good day out. Where we went there were three main outside pools, a sauna and other heated pools inside. It was really strange how cold we felt getting out of the pools (esp since it was 30 degrees). The most fun we had there was being juvenile in the wurl pool. The latest saying in the group, was "it was good, but it didn't have a wurl pool".

So here is what I noticed.

• It is the latest thing to be wearing Speedos. Sadly in 90% of the cases guys really should not have been wearing them at all. In some cases it was just the wrong colour or a little too tight. Overall however it just looked plan BAD.



• Equally, bikini's are the only thing worn. Again there were soo many people that should not have been wearing them. Lets just so on many occasions I wished I was able to look another way, but was unable to.



• While the baths are for everyone, it is mostly only adults who go there. Children get treated with strange looks.



• I was also able to notice that there appeared to be a lot of really good looking girls with a lot of not so attractive males. Maybe Budapest is not as superficial as it is at home?
