Images of Budapest
The vendors still use old-fashioned weighing scales
It has seating areas to sort out your shopping
If you don’t want to use the stairs, you can take the elevator
It is clean and pleasant
It has three levels of market splendour
They sell those cute souvenir items
One eatery uses office desks as dining tables
It has an art gallery
It’s the covered market of Lehel

I have a feeling this is a “communist-era” doorbell…
My perfect shopping mall…..is in Budapest!
WestEnd City Centre
A refreshing vertical water garden
Banners commemmorating the 1848 revolution against the Hapsburgs
Behind…errr above the scenes..of a bar
The food court
Sofas like these everywhere, in all floors, so that customers and windowshoppers alike can rest and lounge.
but i don’t think i like this

The Hungarians love their flyers. They even place containers by the door just to accommodate them. In France and the UK, there would be signs saying: “No publicity please!”
This way? where exactly?
Budapest is renowned for its cheap but high quality dental treatment. Walking the street one day, I discovered that they also cater to sculpting butts! (poster on the left)

Walking along Dob Utca (Dob Road), this medieval looking passageway attracted my attention. It leads to a courtyard where old houses are standing. Looking at the age-worn walls, I felt I was walking back in time…
