Another week in Milan and I’m already so used to everything. No GPS is needed to get back home from key areas of the city, and (for the most part) I can order coffee and a croissant. This week was a long one. A cemetary, science museum, design studios, and a trip to Como. I’m truly learning so much about design and starting to connect a lot of things I knew with different aspects.
At the end of the week, I went to Budapest with Kate, Jojo, and Courtney. Kate had a family friend that lives over there and he was SO SWEET. He picked us up from the airport and had someone help us buy a metro pass so we knew how to navigate the city. Budapest is actually split into two different parts: Buda and Pest (which I did not know). The whole city was a lot more quiet than Milan, and I could definitely still feel the remnants of communism.
The first day we did a pub crawl with some other backpackers. These bars were just so cool. They were all in sort of old ruins of buildings. The next day we went to the thermal baths and just relaxed all day. We also did a night cruise on the Danube river where we were able to see magnificent bridges. On our last day, we walked around and went to the castle hill to admire the city even more. All in all, it was a beautiful trip with great friends.
