Charming Budapest

Chain Bridge

Budapest is a very charming city which you would never forget it once you have the chance to visit it in your life. I am still excited while walking towards those famous sites which I went 6 years ago.

Heroes' square with millennium monument (英雄廣場),Halaszbastya (漁夫堡),Parlament(國會大廈), Duna River (多瑙河) and so on are sites where you could experience the beauty of Budapest. I personally like the chain bridge and Duna River the most. Chain bridge(鏈橋), which connected Buda and Pest two cities to be Budapest. However, I am thinking of a more romantic name for it in Chinese—戀橋, which means that a bridge of attachment. Think about that two lovers are walking through the bridge to see each other or walking together across the river to their next destination. Haha…I know that someone may say that I read too many romance. Well…I believe that there must be many lovely stories behind the bridge and city.

After the show of folk dance, after saying goodbye to the nice old couple from the States, I glided back to my hostel. The 2nd day of my journey and I feel so relieved as well as so free as a bird. Looking at the smile faces on the people passed by me, I know that they are curious about me, a foreign tourist—which I felt quite uncomfortable sometimes.

I, anyway, still enjoy travelling alone because I could do whatever I like, go wherever I want to go and stay for as long as I like.
