RE: Architecture: The Central Market Hall (1897) - Budapest - 4

in ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱ • last month (edited)

My mother didn't want me to travel to Hungary (surely, because Hungary never appears in the media as the English-speaking countries and the western EU), so she was afraid it was a dangerous place (at least, for a teenager). I wasn't afraid at all, but I couldn't help, as I was living with my parents, depending on them 100%. I know the language is similar to Finnish.

    Hungary isn't western Europe and for sure (also back then) the east European countries are way safer than the Western ones.

    I know, I know...but unfortunately my mother didn't know. She took the Western as safer (that's why no issue to send me to England, France, Spain, Austria, etc., but I couldn't mention an Eastern country...), well, in any way, Austria is the safest Western country where I travelled.

    Austria must have changed a lot. I can't say I ever felt safe. Till today they are hostile to foreigners, their neigbours, Europeans, Dutch included. I cannot remember one single time they didn't stand with guns, the border was open during all those years of that one great EU. ☹️
    If I can avoid it I will not stay overnight in a hotel up there.
    From experiences, and not ours only, the hotels are also one of the worst if it comes to how they treat their employees so no way I want my children work there.
    Being pushed of the road or followed and tried to be pushed of a mountain by a truck is also something we only experienced in Austria.

    That's incredible, dear friend! My last trip to Austria was above 25 years ago and it was my third time there. I always have found kindness, good welcome and cleanness. Into my best trips. Upset how it changed...in any way, some years ago an in-law of my husband married a man from Austria and went to live there. She is a nurse. She says it's very better than Latin America (well, obviously it's to believe whatever central and northern European area is very better than most of Latin America: we are still third world).
