Because I'm way too lazy to write and you probably won't read it anyway, I will just give you some pictures to compensate the loss of all the other pictures thanks to my "Big Brother is watching you"-paranoia. Enjoy!

When I found out there was a
free walking tour dealing with Jewish history in Budapest, of course I had to join it. I really learned a lot from
Zoltan, our guide, and can highly recommend you to take this tour if you're in Budapest - not only for the Jewish history, but also some very interesting side facts about Hungarian society.

| Grand Synagogue by the neolog community of Budapest |
 |

 |
| little bit of hypocrisy on a wall memorial in the Jewish district |
 |
| replica of the wall surrounding the Jewish ghetto during WWII |
 |
| the orthodox synagogue - with two strictly kosher restaurants and a kosher butcher next to it |
 |
| only me and two Indians couldn't neglect the fact that these ornaments look like swastikas - the synagogue was built in the late 19th century |
 |
| the most famous "ruin bar" in the Jewish district"... i forgot the name |
 |
| Grand Synagogue at night |
 |
| Flodny - a DELICIOUS Jewish-Hungarian layer cake with all kinds of nuts and jam and other awesome stuff |
So what do you say? Amazing!!!
