after 10 years in London, these are the 6 things Budapest does better (some are savage sorry) 1. coffee is a slow activity, not a quick takeaway (you have to be able to chill for at least 1.5 hours!!) 2. having hobbies doesn't require a second salary (even a cheap gym membership costs a leg in London) 3. Budapest's definition of "far" is 30 mins tops lol (London is minimum 45 mins *sighs*) 4. in Budapest, you always bump into someone (so you ALWAYS need to look presentable :)) 5. not every dinner needs financial planning. (you can afford bottled water, f*** dirty tap water lol). 6. turns out the sky has a colour in this city (fellow Londoners will know exactly what i mean)
