Private Room, Budapest, 16-18 May 2004
I rent a guest room in a Budapest apartment over the internet. The room is very spacious, airy and is brightly decorated. There is a generous balcony through a tall French window. From here, one gets an unimpeded view of the Parliament Building by the Danube River. The landlady, who lives mostly alone in the apartment, cannot be sweeter. Only problem is, she speaks only Hungarian and German. Oma and I get along fine, albeit haltingly, with my smattering of Deutsch, furious hand gestures and lots of smiles. |
