Colour stained glassware (or probably crystall
glass according the prices being sold) is one
of Budapest strongest selling items for the
wealthy tourist! The display was really fascinating.

A display of different pendulum clocks in a
large souvegneir shop. I set the camera
with a long shutter speed to give motion to
the photo wth regards to the pendulum.

One of Hungary's main traditional things is
the paprika and sausages and it is a must-buy
for anyone visiting Hungary. I already tasted
the sausage and it is very good.

More souveneirs, this one taken from an open
market some 200m away from St. Mattias church,
at Buda. Here I fancied the display of various
dolls with different dresses, probably all representing
traditional clothes of hungarian villages.

This is WestEnd City Shopping Centre - a highly
acclaimed shopping centre situated close to
the city's Western railway station (Nyugati
pu.). The WestEnd City Center is Central Europe's
largest (and arguably most impressive) shopping
mall. Developed by Canada's TrizecHahn corporation,
the award winning architecture is both futuristic
and imposing, with a wonderfully angular facade
that's straight out of Logan's Run.
With over 400 shops, there were legitimate
worries over the effect that the Center's
opening will have upon small businesses in
the district. That said, the WestEnd City
Center aptly demonstrates the pace and grand
scale of new developments in the city. Incorporating
the Hilton WestEnd Hotel and a pleasant roof
garden, it's certainly a near perfect model
for similar large-scale developments in the
future.
The
shops are almost all high class, selling well
known branded items but one must also say
the the prices are reletively expensive in
Budapest, and you would definitely find the
same stuff at cheaper prices in other individual
shops in Budapest

We had no idea where to dine at Budapest this
night and while waiting a bus at 7:45pm from
Aquicum Hotel to central Budapest, I came with
the Idea that instead we go to Szentendre by
bus and hopefully find a restuarant there. The
trip took some 45mins and there was a quite
nice scenery accompanied by the colourful sunset
skies. |

A well deserved Chinese meal at Szentendre,
about 150m away from the bus terminal. In the
bus we were quite worried that we will not find
any restaurant nearby, and we were very hungry!
We also had the time to eat a luxury traditional
dessert from another nearby restaurant. We took
the bus back to budapest exactly in time - to
the second!
