What Budapest has taught me

The thing I love most about travelling is that you constantly learn. This is what Budapest has taught me in the past three days:

Never underestimate European (and especially Hungarian) summers. I should have packed those summer dresses.

Budapest was three separate cities until 1873 when Buda, Old Buda and Pest were merged to form Budapest.

Budapest is pronounced Budapescht.

The Rubik's cube was invented by a Hungarian professor, Ernő Rubik.

Hungarian is not easy, it sounds like no other language I have ever heard, and the Hungarian alphabet has 44 letters.

When Hungarians say "hello" they mean "goodbye".

Never ask for a T-shirt in a bar - you might end up with ten beers.
