ssssaaaaannnnttttaaaa cccclllllaaaaaauuuussss

Santa has a few things like a platform that takes you any where and an elf named Ed. He (Ed) is the chief of all the elves. But Santa is TIRED OF THE ELVES SINGING JINGLE BELLS THESE DAYS NOW. SO IS HIS WIFE. And Santa lives in north pole city, SILL THERE UNTIL CHRISMAS EVE OR SO. He does not belive in such weapons. For a long time he never will. His elves have lumber, metal, so much stuff! But where did he get all those things for building toys after all those years?

subjects that i like

These are a few subjects i like. I do like piano and i play jingle bells. I like reading and history. Oh and I like reading about things that are too much for second graders as well. By the way, I (sometimes)like running ten laps around the house alot! I like to eat leeks, noodles, eggs, and meat if you want to know that, of course. My favorite pastry is, well, a danish (a slice of it!). One last thing now my favorite month is November,if it's pure comedy! Last last thing before I'm done, my favorite color is orange or red.

布达佩斯(上)

11.19.2010

到布达佩斯机场下午4点半,天基本黑透。
机场的Zona Taxi是先定价才上车,免了被宰的可能。

布达佩斯是布达和佩斯两城组成,布达是山,佩斯是平地。
住在佩斯的Blaha Lujza广场,旅馆离地铁出口不到20米,极其方便。不过广场通夜不
眠,很吵。

布达佩斯三条地铁线,M1,M2和M3,在城中心DeakFerenc站交接。24小时通票
1500forint(1000forint=4euro)。

M2一直坐到国会大厦,沿多瑙河边一直走到Chain Bridge。过了Chain Bridge就是布达
城堡山隧道,二战时德军在隧道里扎营。隧道边就是上布达城堡山(Castle Hill)的
funicular。

城堡山上是皇宫,很大,不过晚上没开门。
现在有部分成了国家美术馆。因为是建在山上,很有气势。

城堡山下来后坐公交车糊里糊涂地就到了布达佩斯的大教堂St.Stephen's Basilica。
附近都是游人出入的地方。

看了一摊烤饼的,回来后才知道叫kürtös kalács。挺好吃的。不过那一筒饼要
1500forint,不便宜啊。

烤饼摊过后,越往里走越热闹。原来这是2010圣诞市场,刚开张,给我碰上了。

反正肚子饿,就找了个摊要了全世界到知道的goulash汤和卷心菜包肉。

圣诞市场几乎每个摊位都卖Foralt Bor(mulled wine),一种温热甜酒,度数很低,所以
可以在天寒地冻时当饮料喝。

圣诞市场卖红烧猪蹄,各色香肠,炒鸡子,土豆饼等等,看上去都很好吃。

匈牙利的糖果不错,买了一堆回来,很受欢迎。

11.20.2010

清早到了Batthyany广场,SzentAnna-templom就在边上。

隔着多瑙河看晨光中的国会大厦。如果说匈牙利国会大厦是全世界最美的政府大楼,不
算过份吧,至少比英国的国会大厦好看。


从Batthyany广场爬山爬上了渔夫堡,挺怪的建筑,没有去追究来源。旁边Mátyás
templom教堂顶花花绿绿。


渔夫堡看到的布达佩斯北部全景不错。那个岛是玛格丽特岛,这次没时间去。


渔夫堡看到16号公交车就上了,开到那里我都没搞清楚。还是前面提到的,布达佩斯就
三条地铁路线,能上地铁就行。

到了伊丽莎白桥西岸,就准备爬Gellert山。Gellert山上是个堡垒,有座全布达佩斯都
能看到的自由神像。

原伊丽莎白桥二战时毁了,现在的是60年代重修的现代桥梁。


Gellert山(海拔235米)比城堡山高,好像没公交车,反正我是爬上去的。


应该是看布达佩斯全景首选。


城堡的bunker改建成二战纪念蜡像馆,阴森森的,能吓着胆小的。


山顶就是那个自由神像,看样子就知道是苏联红军立的。


GellertHill山下就是那个很出名的Gellert浴场。到布达佩斯不到那几个名气很响的浴
场泡泡,就不算到过布达佩斯。

我显然是'无'备而来,租条泳裤花了我1000forint。匈牙利不像德国,男女有别,除了
那几个公共池,其他堂子是分开的。因为是冬天,室外的池子没开。
照片是男女共用的室内池,天窗是能打开的。


男仕专用堂里就不能拍照了,装饰是阿拉伯风格的,一个大池34-36摄氏,一个大池36-
38摄氏。那些小池就很多了。可能大部分是游人吧,基本都没脱光的。澡堂里有遮羞布
的供浴客用的,像是小孩的肚兜,大男人围在腰上挺搞笑的。SteamRoom里就像蒸笼蒸
包子一样,那些bench下冉冉升起水蒸气能烧熟屁股的, 偶根本坐不上。
