i went to budapest last week and just had such a good time. admittedly i did a poor amount of drawing, but i more wanted to just hang out with my course mates and just soak in what budapest had to offer. it was quite a strange place in that it was completely different from any other capital city. There were very very few shops, ninety five percent of everyone were over sixty, and all looked slightly odd and not quite right. at the time i thought that i'd sort of seen everything that budapest had to offer but looking back i'd gladly go again, and it wasn't until the last day or so that we really got to grips with the city and the best places to go. we went to the thermal baths at the end of the week which was so relaxing and then it snowed on the last night as well which was cool. the architecture throughout the whole city was so intricate and beautiful. so yeah it was generally so much fun.
we went to a flea market one of the days, the amount of stuff they had there was actually over-whelming. they literally had everything you'd ever want and never want. hungary was very much a communist nazi country, and in some aspects still is very much today. everyone is very plain clothed and white caucasian. so at the flea market i bought some little old books, im not really sure what they are, maybe passports or ration books. but they just look really cool and are a genuine part of hungary's history.
then last of all a quick few drawings at the airport/ in the air.
