Going offline. Ciao. |
Taking the train to Vienna. |
Admiring the works of Mihály Munkácsy, Gyula Benczúr, Madarász Viktor, Wagner Sándor, and Vágó Pál, amongst other contemporaries. |
Spent 1/2 hour in a dark cave. Budavári Labirintus. http://www.labirintus.com/en |
Speaking of words, the magyar word for both 'hi' and 'bye' is 'szia' (like Italian 'ciao', but pronounced like American "See ya!"). Szia! |
The Hindi word 'vilayet' (abroad) comes from the Ottoman Turkish word for 'province' (vilâyet). http://tinyurl.com/5m8dpq |
Enjoying some kürtőskalács at the Buda Castle. Chocolate flavour. |
The McDonald's in Budapest have free and open wifi. It means I can browse Google Maps and plan my day while getting a quick burger. Love it. |
Where's the money, Lebowski? |
The first tear in the so called Iron Curtain came from Hungary (before the Wall). Can Indians imagine what it's like to be confined? |
Drinking coffee in a two-handled cup at Budapest Keleti pu. |
On my way to Hungary now. Dziękuję. |
Escape from Auschwitz: 800 attempts in 5 years. 144 successes. |

Auschwitz-Birkenau. |
Zapiekanka! Oh, man, I love this. Zapiekanka! Zapiekanka! |
Spent the day in Kraków. Checked out Schindler's factory (from outside), the old Jewish town, Wawel Castle, etc. Ate donuts all day. |
Learnt about the Kaunas pogrom of 1941 through a horrifying eyewitness account. What happened in Gujarat in '02 is really nothing new. Sigh. |
Dzień dobry! Welcome to Poland. |
