Have you ever heard about the country where people could save their traditions about any foreign interference? Have you ever heard about the city that includes the past, the present and the future at the same time? And what about people? Have you ever heard about the nation that hadn't allowed any foreign influence to change their thoughts, traditions, their way of life? I think that you've heard about such countries, and of course you have many examples to prove your answer. Certainly, there are many such countries. One of the examples are Asian countries. Well, but what about Europe? There is a country in the Central Europe that was under the occupation of different countries but it hasn't changed. It's Hungary. It's a small country.

Budapest is its capital. Budapest stands on the bank of the river Danube. There are many wonderful European cities that stand on the banks of this river but only Budapest is known as a pearl of Danube. I think many people would like to visit this city where nothing reminds you about bustling world we live in. The streets are very small and silent in Budapest. They are very similar to each other. So, without a map you can do nothing here, cause it's very easy to be lost. Budapest was formed from three towns and the contrast between these towns is very visible. On the right bank of the river stands Buda with its ancient monuments. On the opposite side stands Pest with its modern buildings, colorful shop windows that reflect different fashion styles. They say that these shop windows are similar with those in Paris. Examining the architecture of the city I was impressed by the architects' work that could combine modern technologies with ancient buildings. Although not only the architect of the city impressed me much. Besides, I think you'll find out this information in any guide-book without effort. What was interesting? It was absolutely another thing. Hungarians impressed me much. I admired the thing how they could carry through the centuries the part of their history, their traditions, their folk songs and dances without any influence.

Wandering about the city I was looking for a drugstore. I peered into buildings with a signboard with a name. I thought that the name had to be clear to everyone, something international, that everyone could understand it. But my searches haven't met with success. I haven't found any drugstore. Later I found that, certainly, drugstores in Budapest exist but their names are quite different from the names which we used to hear. So the name of the drugstore in Budapest is GYOGUSERTA'R.

If it happened so that you've lost don't ask citizens for a help. They won't help you. Moreover they can go away. It doesn't mean that Hungarians aren't hospitable or that don't study any foreign language at schools. Hungarians don't accept any foreign things. Well, they are friendly and cheerful people. They are able to allocate the time for job and for fun. Speaking about their attitude for job Hungarians are very similar to Germans. They are very responsible and concern to the orders with due scrupulousness.

Nevertheless Budapest is a city that you have to visit. If you arrive here in spring you'll find yourself on a festival. You'll have a lot of fun spending time with your friends drinking famous Hungarian wine and eating famous Hungarian goulash. By the way, if you decide to go into a restaurant and have dinner won't be in a hurry to reserve both the first and the second course at once. Why? Because portions in the Budapest's restaurants are huge and you can overeat. In addition, there is one thing that can make you happy. Budapest is a very cheap city.

So, if you are tired of the crowed, busy streets and expensive restaurants you have to visit Budapest. You can have a rest both for your soul and for your body. In conclusion, the main thing is that you'll receive a great pleasure from this rest without any notice of passing time.
