Central Europe 2020 - Day 5: Budapest, Hungary - Great Market Hall, St. Stephen's Basilica & House of Terror

Hello everyone welcome to my blog. If you want to read, please make sure you fully focus on reading and don’t talk to someone else while reading. 如果你们要讲话我是 ok 的, 我只是不拿工钱而已. Then read finish must give applause hor i not blog for free one.

Another gloomy day awaits as i packed up my smelly undies and performed an early check out so that i could spend my remaining hours exploring the rest of Budapest.

Lai lai come see room tour before saying byebye. 

When visiting Budapest, you can’t miss out on the iconic Great Market Hall, a local produce market combined with lelong lelong tourist traps.

Surprisingly i didn't see any touts but they were probably just dodging me and my poverty drenched face.

As a sausage lover this picture is as sexy as Titus Low's onlyfans content.

Bought some paprika home just because i 不甘愿 leave empty handed and it’s still sitting untouched in my kitchen pantry today.

The food stalls at level 2 weren’t very enticing so i decided against having breakfast here.

Behold the famed pedestrian shopping street of Budapest, which looks exactly like any other shopping street in Europe.

Today we go against the laws of common sense and have desserts before anything else at the most atas place i have ever stepped foot into.

We are at the world renowned Cafe Gerbeaud to try the famous Gerbeaud cake. Never heard of it? Pfft peasants.

Ok la actually i also never heard of it before but it was a nice chocolate cake with layers of apricot and walnut filling but nothing amazing. I guess the appeal is lepaking in this high class setting with all the other rich old folks.

Eat finish cake go church 拜拜 see my old buddy 稣哥.

Dunno why the church put 1 crosshair outside is it Jesus want to play counterstrike?

Paid extra to access the viewing platform but the climb up had my Pes E body questioning me if it was all worth it.

It was not.

But heck since i already expended the energy to get up here, might as well take a 360 video of the view.

The interior of the church fared much better with its intricate designs and craftsmanship.

Wow such grand much details.

Forgive me holy father for the 1.4TB worth of porn in my hard disk.

The most interesting artifact was embedded within this fancy reliquary, named the Holy Right.

The mummified right hand of Saint Stephen who lived a thousand years ago. He probably used it to pcc a lot during the old days when there was nothing much to do.

Quite funny cause to light up the hand in the box you need to pay 1 Euro. Got a bunch of people loiter around nearby gei siao gei siao, then once i pay all chiong up to take photo. At that moment i felt like Jesus coming to save all these poor (literally) souls.

The famous nativity scene of Jesus coming out of Mary’s vagina.

The church also houses a free little museum section.

Looks old and fancy i bet it's worth at least $5.

It’s amazing how the Hungarians were able to defend their lands with the legendary Eul’s scepter of divinity by casting cyclones on their enemies.

Of course they couldn't have done it without true strike.

Stop it. Enough of the dota references you cb zai nan and show us your final meal in Hungary.

I prefer to put my coat on the opposite seat so it feels like i’m not eating alone 💔

Don't you think those pickles with smiley faces stuffed inside a jar seem low key creepy?

Trying to spend what’s left of my Forint, i ordered a charcuterie board and only touched the meats and some cheeses like a true uncultured swine.

My main dish was a mee hoon kueh like pasta with baked cheese on top. Twas as dry as any female who has seen my kukubird.

A cool looking building that i did not get to explore but i heard it's just more WW2 stories so 无所谓 to give it a miss.

Dragged my dua ki mustard luggage to Budapest Kelenfold, a bus terminal that connects to multiple European cities.

The interchange was slightly confusing as multiple buses came to the same berth but double check with the bus driver and you'll be fine.

Managed to get on the correct bus and not end up in Ukraine by mistake.. i hope?

Best seat in the bus because in the event of a crash i would be the first to fly out of the windscreen into a quick death.

The rather underwhelming border between Hungary and Austria. First time crossing a country without chopping passport or any checks and it makes me feel like an illegal immigrant.

The Flixbus took 3 hours to arrive at Vienna, the capital of Austria. Their subway was so easy to use that any common face could do it.

Maxx will be my home for the next 2 nights while i attempt to visit every museum in town.

Nua-ed around for a bit before finally crawling out for a late dinner. The MRT here does not have a gantry nor anyone guarding it so it was very tempting to ride it without purchasing a ticket at the gamble of being caught and heavily fined.

As my kiasu wallet was unwilling to pay the $5 fare and my kiasi nature made me too hum ji to hop on without a ticket, i opted to walk to Strasser-Bräu, about 2 stations away.

Worked up an appetite from the long walk and in a moment of overconfidence i ordered a massive platter of food which left the local couple beside me impressed.

Lol fuck. One look and i regretted it instantly. The plethora of different meats was yummy but it quickly turned into a battle of stuffing it down my throat so as to not xia suay in front of the neighbouring tables.

One non-stop hour of devouring food later, i gave up but was pretty impressed with meself for clearing all the protein. After this, i took a much needed stroll back to the hotel before falling deep into a food coma which ends this post. Watch me squeeze everything worth seeing in Vienna into a single day's itinerary in my next post. Or not, nevermind i ok one. Really. 我真的 ok 的.

- End of Day 5 -
