Yesterday I arrived in Budapest. I ended up staying in Vienna for 5 days or something like that. It was much different than I expected, but I liked it quite a bit. More on that another time. Today I went to the largest synagogue in Europe, which was beautiful, and there was a museum attached to it, which had some interesting artifacts. There was a room comemorating the holocaust in Hungary, which was of course powerful. There was a tree over a mass grave which had the names of all the families of the people buried there. It was quite beautiful. I walked around a lot and saw a lot of the Pest half of the city. I saw the Parliament and then went to this museum called the House of Terror which was where the Communist party and the political police were housed and where they carried out executions and torture. Very very intense. I almost vomited a couple times. Just wait for Auswitchz. The most comical part of the day was this old woman sat down next to me when I was getting out of sun for a moment and started talking to me, and I just nodded and smiled and thought it would be over in a couple minutes. This woman talked without stopping for the next 30 minutes. And of course I couldn't understand a word of it, so I just nodded and smiled. Finally, I got up and kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye, without saying a word. I didn't want her to feel stupid...It was very intense. Tonight I stay in this hostel again, called the Red Bus hostel, which is really cute. Then tomorrow I will go to the Buda part of the city and then take the night train to Prague. I will get to Prague at 7 in the morning. Should be good. That's my story...
