There are healthy helpings of irreverence all over Budapest. Amid grandiose government structures and treasure-laden museums, you find things like a Michael Jackson memorial tree. And a cafe in the back of an old VW van. In our last Budapest post, we share a few quirky bits found 'round the city.
One thing we DIDN'T get a photo of was the multitude of people strewn on blankets all over public park space come sunset. One particular city square was packed tighter than a Brazilian beach during a heatwave. People would just sit for hours, in a big blanket-people quilt, elbow-to-elbow with strangers, eating picnic food, chatting and drinking wine straight from the bottle. It was weirdly wonderful.
If only we'd had more than a couple of days to uncover additional oddities...
