[a brief recap before reaching the present]
EDITORIAL NOTE-Serbian keyboards don`t acknowledge the existence of apostrophes. At least, this one doesn`t. It also doesn`t feature the ideograms the kes claim they do.]
Hungarians love the tourist dollar/euro/pound. What they don`t love is tourist questions.
e.g.
1. Lady at Tourist Info Desk, Budapest Airport
2. Bus Driver
3. 2 folks at newstand in train station
4. Infor Desk fellow, train station
5. Hotel front desk bloke (I`ve been him and answered many a repeated question in my 6 years there)
6. Restaurant waiter
7. Tourist Office Ladies
8. Internet cafe girl
Some simply didn`t answer/didn`t/claimed they didn`t speak English. Those who did answer my question(s) all answered the same thing--
``On Ferencick Square`` or, alternately, `` On Vorosmarty Square``... I sincerely believe that if you double/tripled your questions and threw in a ``Where`s Osmam bin Laden?`` the answer would be ... you guessed it: ``On the Square.``
Also, if you are dreary tired, hot, hungry, and mapless, Budapest is not the city to attempt navigating. Even if you`ve been here before.
Seriously. Don`t.
