Our first stop in Hungary was at Mosonmagyaróvár, a small town with a long name. There we changed some Euros for Forints and were surprised to see that they use 200-Forint notes (that would be like having 80-Euro-cent notes). A Euro equals 250 Forints.
We arrived in Budapest on Saturday night and stayed at Anna and her boyfriend's flat in Barát Utca (Friend Street). We had some tea and talked about their city. They told us that we were in Pest and that Buda was on the other side of the Danube. The cities of Buda and Pest were unified with Óbuda in 1873 to become Budapest. At midnight, we listened to Hungary's national anthem, which can be heard every night at 12 on most radio stations.
