Travel

In the next class we will talk about travel and plan a trip to Budapest, Hungary. Please read the introduction below and then answer ONE of the following questions.

Hungary is famous for its wine, hot springs, and goulash, but there is so much more. The capital, Budapest, is a hip and vibrant city that is not so cheap, but a very good value. Autumn is a good time to go – the changing leaves are romantic and the cool weather is perfect for drinking coffee in a cozy café in the back streets near the university. Budapest is full of art galleries, museums, monuments, festivals and lively nightclubs.
The Hungarian language is quite difficult for beginners, but if you learn a few phrases, you should have no problem communicating. At the very least, learn how to say “hello”, “please”, “thank you”, and the numbers up to ten.
Budapest is actually two cities separated by the Danube River. Buda, in the west of the city, is rugged, hilly and tranquil. Pest, in the east, is the heart of the city. Everything is within walking distance of subways and trams so it is easy to get around.

1. What is the most interesting thing for you about Budapest? Why?
2. Do you think the advice about learning the language is good? Why or why not?
3. If you have been to Budapest or Hungary, what was it like?
