Budarest

Yes, I felt sad again. Don't know why I try to compare each time the capital of Hungary with Bucharest. The first one always wins. Every time I get around here for the last 7 years I just wondered on the way they know how to "sell" in a good sense their city to the tourists, how they have a city that is so linked with it's history and that is packed with beautiful sites.

I believed that recently the Hungarian economy was in a less good shape than the Romanian sister is but it doesn't feel like this from the Fisherman's Bastion city viewpoint.

My only hope is that they have a great city, a true capital but that's all : they don't have the Black Sea coastline, they don't have the Carpathians, they don't have the Monasteries, they don't have Transylvania. And this is why I'll always think that in a whole Romania is a better place than Hungary.
