Almost all about Slovenia

 I wrote a paper about the Hungarian Revolution 1956.  Actually it was interesting task for me. Today I will write about the revolution. The Hungarian Revolution was the first serious revolt against the Soviet Union's communist regime after the Second World War. The aim of the revolution was to establish a new government, a new economic policy without any Soviet controls. Under the one political party and the Soviet controls, Hungarian people were always under the terror and unsecured.  Matyas Rakosi (1892-1971) conducted total dictatorship in Hungary based on the Soviet system. First of all, the Political Security Department (later re-named to AVH) was set up in Pest.Their task was to eradicate of democratic political party and intellectual work, to monitor mail and phone conversation, even private home.  Actually Hungary had mainly four political parties, such as the Hungarian Communist Party (HCP), the Independent Smallholders (Smallholders), the...

The final day. We went to Franz Liszt Museum. It is close to the House of terror museum. I like his music very much, so I wanted to visit there. The entrance fee is 900 forint (3 euro) I had to draw on slippers. Museum is small and forbidden to take photos..He was born in Hungary, but he spent almost all his life in Germany. I was surprised that he had at least 4 pianos in his life...incredible...after visited museum, we backed to hostel and visited big biiig market. Red peppers!  I saw that kind of things. In Slovenia I have never seen that kind of designs. It is sold various red peppers. Did you know that there are sweet red peppers??? I did not know that. I should try it... In Budapest, we walked whole days. Although we do not have tour guide, we could enjoy our trip!!!! Then I think Budapest is cheap...I listed the cost of this trip Train Ticket...56 euro (from Ljubljana) Draft Beer...1.5~2 euro Coffee...1.2~1.5 euro (but very big..) Museum entrance fee...900~180...

The second day, we went to Hero's square!! On the way to there, we found out markets!! Look! It is traditional Hungarian tea cups! They were made from aluminium. The price is from 2.5~5 euro. Next time, I will buy it..at least one.. There are ear rings!! Small one is 3 euro, but long one is 5 euro. I got two, small red small earrings and orange long earrings!!! ;) They are Christmas wreath! Do you see the red peppers are used to make these. These wreaths are very aromatic. These smells like orange and cinnamon♪ The price is about 5 euro.    We walked for 40 minutes from the market, then we reached Hero's square! In there you can see successive Hungarian heroes; Stephen I (reign 1001-1038) Ladislaus I, (reign1077-1095) Coloman (reign 1095-1116), Andrew II (reign 1205-1235), Bela IV (reign1235-1270), Charles I (reign1312-1342), Louis I (reign1342-1382), John Hunyadi (reign1446-1453), Matthias Corvinus (reign1458-1490), Istavan Bocskay (reign1605-1606), Gabriel ...

From 5 to 7 November, I went to Hungary, Budapest with my roomy! We planed this trip so quickly, booking hostel, buying train ticket, deciding what we will do in Budapest! We live in Ljubljana, so we bought tickets in Slovenske želznice . To Budapest, we can buy 39 euro or 58 euro for 2 ways. The differences is higher one goes Croatia border. We planed to take night train, we bought higher one. It takes 9 hours!!! This is the Budapest Keleti station! It is so huge place and reminded me Hurry Potter's station!! We exchanged money from Euro to Hungarian forint, but it was mistake, because exchange rate are so high. If you want to exchange money in Budapest, you should go to bank or exchange money office in city. It is quiet cheap! At that time 1 euro=300~305 forint! but exchange money office in the station is 1 euro=240~270 forint! First we went to hostel. It is located near main chain bridge! We used hostelbookers.com . Our hostel is 5.72 euro per person and day. We stayed 2 nig...
