Day 15
Location 4: Budapest
Nov. 15, 2022
Before you see the beautiful sights of Budapest from today, I want to acknowledge my hostel.
It sucks. My room is infested by this weird man who doesn't leave, rolls his own cigarettes–which works as a nasty air-freshener, and hoards half-drunken bottles of juice next to his bed.

After sneaking past Juice-Man, I visited the typical tourist spots of a European city: (1) their old church, (2) their cool building with a statue in front of it, and (3) even the hundreds of years old, real, actual, mummified hand of some guy. See all that below, especially the hand!

I did, in fact, go to the most obvious place to go in any European city. If you haven't guessed it by now, here's a hint: it's the place that's always #1 on TripAdvisor when you google "Things to Do in X City". (To be clear, you'd fill-in the name of the city for the X. I am not suggesting that in this example you are searching for a place called City X like it's the setting of a bad Project X sequel with none of the original cast where unpopular high school seniors try to convert their entire town into a big party for the night before graduation. Actually, that's not a bad idea for a mov––anyway, here's the best Budapest has to offer...
