Yes, I saw the photos of the house that you rent out. Lovely, charming, stunning in its simplicity and folkloric look. Really a special place. The British really do know how to renovate and make a place charming :-) I can see how the village ... Read More

Speaking of which, where did the gypsies get their dancing bears from? Ever seen any there? (Guess that's a silly question and they're long gone.) In a similar vein, do gypsies (the Roma) still travel in caravans, like in the movies? That would be ... Read More

Tips for accommodations in Budapest by Leeward2
Where would you suggest are nice and reasonable(in price) places to live in Budapest? Locations? Apartments/Condos/? Furnished? Cost range for that particular place? - I actually have an idea of the general cost range, from the "Cost of Living" ...
I ordered one copy of a book entitled, "Hungary, a quick guide to customs & etiquette". I got two copies by mistake. I will be happy to mail this little guide book (part of the Culture Smart series) to someone who could make good use of it-- ... Read More

I thought about that Nicole. I am sure you are right. However, it might be worth looking at if the exterior of the building is not too shabby. One would have to take a look and judge- and also, if it's a nice block or not. If it's a real ... Read More
