Budapest at Night and Sneaking into the Metro — Budapest Vlog #3

Yet another Thursday, yet another vlog from Budapest. This time, I walk around the city at night to give you a (rainy) glimpse of what the city is like in the darkness. And yes, I know it’s hard to see. There was nothing I could do.

Anyway, I also sneak a camera into a metro station (which is not against the rules, although they don’t like it) for your entertainment and delight.

Silent Vlog — Riding the Tram

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for a silent vlog! Remember — the purpose of a silent vlog is to let you see things through my eyes without any biased input from me. In this vlog, I ride the tram to let you see some cool Budapest sights and experience what it’s like to be on one of these popular streetcars that I ride every single day.

Blooper: A creepy guy came over to me asking for money. A lot. And he wouldn’t shut up. The video could only hear the end of the conversation.
