Communication breakdown


First of all, shortest international flight I've ever been on - 2 hours.. Weird being from Aus.
Very beautiful city - great architecture, friendly people, and the hostel is very good (wombat), the nightlife is something else. It is only the third night in Budapest but we've checked out are different places. I have met several people, but it's been interesting because there are people from all over the world here, and i always seem to meet Spanish speakers or local Hungarians.

Anyways, last night we went out to this awesome and big bar, (by the way drinks here and in Greece are so much cheaper than Aus), basically lots of dancing floors and lots of places to sit and talk comfortably, as well as people from all over the world and locals too (basically exactly the kind of place I love). It just so happens that I walk up to a group of local girls, and they end up teaching me some Hungarian, we dance, have a great time (the girls here are quite beautiful.. To say the least). Trying to communicate the whole night was quite a challenge - they spoke extremely limited and broken English, and god knows I don't know any Hungarian - so the whole night we were basically playing 'Hungarian charades', acting out what we meant!

Anyways now I'm fluent in Hungarian, so if you want to know any translations, I'm your man! 
All in all a good night and plan to meet up again for another language lesson and perhaps even a free tour...?

Overall beautiful city, beautiful people, can't wait to enjoy the first and only saturday night out in Budapest tonight.
