Day 8 – Vienna/Budapest

Day 8 – Vienna/Budapest
The next morning, we waved goodbye mournfully to the local strip clubs and sex toy shops, and set off to Budapest. At the Vienna station I bought a Dilbert book about office life, which described corporate America in all its hypocracy and hilarity. The book kept me entertained until we reached Budapest.
When we arrived at Budapest, we were immediately shocked by the currency. Rather funny actually, 1 euro is 200 florents, meaning that 1 Hungarian florent is worth less than Russian Rubles, which I thought was the smallest European currency. Since our hostel was not too far away from the station, we decided to walk. Along the way we got our first impression of Budapest as a city. It looked quite nice, although due to the 30+ heat and high humidity we were not in the mood to appreciate beauty. Some 20 minutes later we reached the approximate location of our Hostel, and spent ages trying to find it from there. Ended up finding it: a dark, huge heavy wooden door. The air inside was refreshingly cool, and the hostel had a great homie feel to it. For only 14 euro’s per night, the “Goat Hostel” (yeah, you didn’t misread, GOAT) provided us with breakfast, free DvDRips of loads of movies (just don’t ask where they came from ) and very comfy beds. On that first day, after a cool shower, we walked around trying to find somewhere to eat, and I’m ashamed to admit that we ended up at the local Burger King. At least it beats Mcdonalds every time .
That evening we decided to stay in, and watched “In Bruges”, which was the most FUCKED up, but funny movie I have ever seen. The drug addict midget.. fucking bruges ... anyways just watch the movie . Talked to a lot of people that evening, some girls from Holland, some American girls.. Discussed American politics and Obama’s validity as president. Was great fun 
