* for their impressive historic sites, well preserved and “showcased”,
* for the Danube,
* for the „Christkindlmarkt” – clean, civilized
* for the souvenirs
and products in general of good quality and taste (no plastics!)
* for the diversified street cuisine
* for kurtoskalacs
* for the civilized, clean atmosphere (e.g., in the metro)
Why i DIDNT envy those budapestans:
* for the rain.
Oh, and for one more thing. The terrible waiting room at the Keleti train station. If you have to wait 2 hours for a train and are not tempted by a quick town tour (I had 4 hours, finished the tour in 2), go to the Burger King across the street, get a huge Coke and watch a game or smthn. I watched Ajax-Inter, with both Romanians (Ogararu for Ajax and Chivu for Inter) playing well.
…
Other than that, Romania is beautiful from the airplane (as well 😉
All snow-white Transylvanian hills,
and the city of Cluj
Holidays are over. Happy New Year.
