Budapest, a place
where time stops to enjoy the wine and the jazz.
After all
the complications, finally I can travel out of UK! (*yeepee-yeepee-yay-ing*).
It has been
an amazing trip with more appreciation towards life and culture. The time stops and flows with the rhythm of
jazz, as well as with the aromatic Hungarian latte at the Central coffee shop.
With a small slice of Kreme, a local pastry sandwiched with 2 inches thick of
clotted cream, you smile at the sunny weather outside Ruszwurm, the oldest
confectionery in Budapest.
Quoting it
from a friend, “Be indifferent. Don’t rush into anything. You feel
frustrated and disappointed only when you are rushing for the train.” It changes my perspective in life, and with
many recent happenings, this quote came quite timely I would say.
This trip,
with different travel partners, we initiated many random conversations, from
philosophy to architecture, from arts to politics, from literature to history,
and from coffee to wine. We also saw how different upbringings and experience managed
to strike vibrant and diverse viewpoints on certain topics.
The city is
full of sweet tranquility. Sitting in a decent restaurant, while savouring the tenderloin
steak and drinking a glass of 0.1L Tokaji Azsu 3 puttonyos, we got to watch light,
white fragments of sleet, showering outside the window, covering the pavements.
Or, when you
are overlooking the whole city of Budapest, from the 400m St.Gelert’s Hill,
under 4oCelcius, it’s just purely amazing. Witnessing a city with 1000
years in history, is like stepping on the stones and rocks in the Colosseum , a
fulfillment you get when you visit the ancient ruins which live through the millennium.
Sometimes, when
you are able to see how life can be transformed into a great feast of
self-indulgence in a cultural or historical field trip, it reminds you that keeping
your writing and travelling dreams are essential.
