It was so so so so hot there. I definitely want to go back when the weather is colder because I did NOT want to do anything (the goal was to try and find shade...and then go home and take a shower)😂When I initially looked at photos of Budapest, I thought it would be too big (and sort of feel impersonal like sometimes I feel Paris does), but it wasn't. The streets were really walkable and it was really beautiful. --- I do tend to stay in apartments when I travel just because I make my own food due to allergies. But I'm very aware of issues of homelessness from places like Airbnb and short-term rentals. True, government needs better regulations or perhaps it can co-exist, but zoning and specific rules need to be put in place. I'm still looking into various options, but if any of you have recommnedations, I would love to hear about it😉 Hope you enjoy the rest of the vlogs. Plenty more to come!

Grocery shopping while travelling is my go-to activity. So interesting to see what's available.

I'm so glad there are others like me 😊😊!! I know my family usually just do restaurants and eating out so usually they never visit grocery stores except for maybe for water or quick grab and go things.

Thanks for taking us to Budapest. I like the pace of this video, chatty, in-depth, casual

Wow … I so admire you for travelling on your own. And I love browsing food places in other countries.

I actually travel with my partner but film alone😊❤️ -- though back in the day I used to love travelling by myself - sometimes a bit scary, but you're a lot more open to meeting ppl and trying new things I think.

Thanks so much for sharing your adventure! I am 1/4 Hungarian but have not yet visited there. I am so interested in everything that you discover.:)

Oooh do you speak a bit of Hungarian? I bet you'll like it and maybe recognize some foods/dishes...I think they call it the Paris of the east and for really good reason...the architecture is gorgeous - history...well I visited quite a few museums too...it's always interesting to visit former soviet blocs

@@EastMeetsKitchen I wish I did speak Hungarian! I do remember my grandmother cooking goulash, paprikash, and sweet and sour kidney beans. We used to listen to a program every week with Hungarian violin music. I hope to visit in the next few years. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos!

It's really hot in Italy too (more than 40°C). I rarely travel during Summer just because I hate when it's too hot... I've never been to Budapest, I am very interested to see your vlogs about it 😊
@EastMeetsKitchen4 ай бұрын
I actually have that rule too 😂 but sort of forgot this year (and oh gosh did I regret it!). I visited quite a few places and I was on the bus with quite a few Italian tourists too. The city is really beautiful. I would definitely go back in the autumn or late spring.

@@EastMeetsKitchen I always thought that countries like Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria etc are best during winter... probably they are magical with snow ❄️ :-)

Missed how you chose Budapest for your destination.
@EastMeetsKitchen4 ай бұрын
Hmmm....um...well since I'm based in London now I find sometimes the western part of Europe is very similar. So I had been wanting to go a bit further into Eastern Europe for a while....and Hungary had been on the list.
