We hope you enjoyed this week's vlog. We love exploring smaller towns to experience more of the local culture. We will definitely go on more day trips from Budapest soon. If you are from Hungary, let us know in the comments where we should visit. Thanks for watching! 😀 - Brandon & Anja
We recently visited Budapest and had an amazing time. We loved the city, but our day trip we took to Szentendre was probably our favourite things that we did! We loved the little town as well, especially getting away from the hustle and bustle. Great video guys, keep up the awesome content!
Hey guys! We actually follow your channel! Hahaha. Random! We watched a lot of your content after we had went to Morocco as well. It's a great little city for sure. One of our favorites! How are you guys liking Hungary? Back for the Christmas Markets? We're about to film ours in a few days. So behind! 😂 And thanks! Appreciate it! 🍻
@@wherearewe-yt Oh no way! That's amazing 😄 How did you guys like Morocco? Yeah Szentendre was definitely one of our highlights in Hungary, we really love the country. We're no longer there right now, but can't wait to go back to Hungary some day. Enjoy the Christmas markets and good luck filming! We're sure it will be great :)
I watched a couple of your hungarian videos as a local, who born in Budapest, and i have to say they are really entertaining, with pretty okay prononciation, and the overall vibe of videos is really nice. Feels like you really focusing on positive things, having decent hints for other travellers, and even for me its good to see some intresting places, since we rarely visit some places what are mainly for tourists. All in all you guys seems a really good vibe team, and i wish you good luck with traveling around and keep the good work on this channel.
Thanks for saying that! It's hard to make videos that can interest both tourists, and locals. Tourists like to see the main attractions, and locals want you to delve deeper than that. We try to always do a mix of both if we can. In the end, we just do our best to capture the feeling of a city, the way we've experienced it.
Thanks. When I was a child, I made this trip countless times with my parents. It's interesting how well you get used to the good place you live in. Thanks for shaking me up.
Another very beautiful little town in Hungary is Pannonhalma. It is not close by to Budapest but worth a visit there. The Abbey there is over a 1000 years old. Lots of culture is down there, but most importantly the vine of the monastery is heavenly!
3:12 second phase of leaven cucumber. For those who don't know: This is a lactic acid fermentation method. The yeast in the bread sours the cucumber. It is made in summer because it needs heat. When ready, the juice will be cloudy white.The recipe is very simple and anyone can do it. It should be searched for as kovászos uborka. It's divine cold leaven cucumber with egg nokedli. 2:30 p.m. In the early 80s, a scoop of ice cream was 50 fils. That's half a forint. The one and two forint coins are no longer available either. 14:43 That little metal box. Hot sandwich oven. According to many, the best sandwiches are made there. Trabant. Rather, it was the most accessible car of its time. Then you could get a car if you paid the details in advance (as if you paid the loan in advance and then took it out), then you waited for it to arrive. Many times for years. In principle, the equipment and color were optional. In theory. In practice, you either took what they gave you, or you waited for more years. And maybe they offered something else again. So you took it instead, because it was already there. Of course, the colors were only basic colors, and their shades are those that were mixed during production. .After a few years, UV radiation created completely unique colors.. Including different parts of a car.. Then you personalized it in a DIY way. But you couldn't touch the factory color, because you had to change your documents for that. And that was difficult because of the bureaucracy. The cars had a ranking, the Trabant was the lowest category. At the same time, it turned out to be a reliable, easy-to-repair car (even at the DIY level), although there were more comfortable cars as well. I think Anja is familiar with the movie Go Trabi Go.. 15:27 Puli. Hungarian experimental moped car. It was born in the 1980s and was intended for the Western market. It is no coincidence that it resembles Polski126. It was assembled from readily available parts. At that time, the dollar, the West German mark, and all Western money were badly needed. They even tried this ugliness. To put it mildly, it didn't work.. It's been forgotten today. This one of the few left. 15:33 On that bench, if you leaned back, it overturned, backwards.. It could have been designed by a very very very smart person.. 15:46 Where Anja felt the dashboard, there was a separate built-in device above it. It was a cash register and a ticket office at the same time. Such buses traveled the country's roads. So it is more likely that Jászberény (well, Tura - it's easier to say) than Oktogon.
We would love to try that cucumber dish! That is so cool. We had no idea why that was there. Again, thanks for all of the interesting information! Everything in that retro museum was in Hungarian, so all we could do was guess with a lot of things. Haha. 😅
@@wherearewe-yt You have to wait until about May to taste it, because now it's too cold to prepare it. You can observe the things placed in front of the houses and if there is a large glass bottle with a wide opening, bring it. The glass can be washed, dangerous chemicals have not been in public circulation for a long time. Thus, it can be cleaned with any ordinary detergent. A standard recipe until May. 2 kg of cucumbers (for leaven) 1 head of garlic 1 bunch of dill a few slices of bread (sourdough). 3 liters of water 3 tablespoons of salt Mix the water with salt and bring it to a boil, then cool it to lukewarm. You need a cucumber about 10-12 cm long (about the width of the palm of your hand) that breaks into pieces. A slightly wilted one will no longer be good. Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water, if necessary, smooth it with a sponge. Cut off the ends of the clean cucumber, and cut the sides lengthwise in the middle. You need two cuts, 90 degrees apart. The two cuts start from opposite ends of the cucumber and end about 1 cm from the end. You don't have to cut it, because then it will fall apart into 4 parts. Thus, the intact part at the two ends holds the vegetable together. Put a generous amount of dill and cleaned pieces of garlic at the bottom of a clean mason jar (in the case of a 5-liter jar, put all the dill and garlic in it, for smaller jars, divide them separately), then carefully wrap the cucumbers in it, pour lukewarm water, and put a slice of sourdough bread on top . Seal it with a plate, after 3-4 days, put the cucumbers in a plastic container (it can be any other), pour the strained juice over the neck, seal it and store it in the refrigerator. My addition: 3-4 days is meant in warm weather. It can be more or less. If the juice is cloudy, it's a good sign. The glass is important because it is how you can check the level of doneness.
At 14:16, the list of prices are not of the drinks, but the deposit fees of the bottles. These were added to the prices of the drinks, and one could get them back, returning the bottles...
@kheopsz81 It certainly had a retro feel to it! Haha. We love how some of the subway lines in Budapest also use the older models..it's like stepping into a time machine!
Hey Guys, we were there for a day trip two years ago. Ironically, my cousins live there. The Marzipan museum was a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. Stay fluffy. (Eric)
We live in quite an area within Budapest that is quite busy, quite touristy and has a lot of traffic...so we love getting away to smaller towns like Szentendre! That's cool your family lives there. It's beautiful! Thanks for watching!
@@kornelva Ooooh. That sounds like a good trip! Especially checking out Witches Island. I looked up pictures! I'm sure it would look quite spooky this time of year as well. 🧙🦇
Sena Andreja was once inhabited by Serbs. Now there are very few Serbs. There are 4 large, beautiful Serbian Orthodox churches, I think from the 17th century.
Yeah unfortunatly but how cool it would be if Szentendre still had a serb majoroty. I think it would be very interesting. Btw Tabán in Budapest was a very similar looking place also mainly inhabit with serbs and croats. But unfortunatly the government demolished that part of the city in the 1920-30s
serbs and croats were only there because the ottomans killed or scared away the hungarians, serbs and croats only had a big number of people there by the end of the 17th century, who got “planted” there after the turks scared away most of the people, but they were free to practice any religion, language, they didn’t have to play the same amount of taxes as the hungarians, they had their own schools

@@szeneskorina6491 There were many Serbs, but they were massively Hungarianized and forcibly Croatized, they were given privileges to become Catholics and then they were not written as Serb Catholics, but as Croats. It was all planned and done in Tabanovci, there is proper documentation in the Archives in Budapest.
Eating frog was originally a local speciality of Szeged, not popular in the other regions of Hungary. Now it can be found in more places (thank God, because I really like it). But in the meantime the kind of frog needed became a protected species in the EU and can not be killed, so the legs nowadays come frozen from China and Vietnam.
It's certainly possible, but we typically eat the local food whenever we're in a country! Even better if we can find dishes popular to the particular city.

The cinnamon was even in the store bought package we tried. It's interesting that the first ones we tried in restaurants didn't have cinnamon. Every single one was delicious though!
@@wherearewe-yt there are some parking area near to duna that it’s way more expensive than regular city’s districts and they run it also for weekends just because they know they can earn money through it and the penalties are also higher than many districts in downtown , any way do you prefer living in Budapest or Valencia? Thanks
We like both cities but when it comes to living in them and the things we enjoy, we definitely prefer Budapest. Budapest has gotten a lot more pricey then it was a few years ago but it's still cheaper than Valencia. The vibe of Budapest is also way more our thing. I think Budapest is one of our favorite cities in Europe. I (Anja) am from Berlin and Budapest feels quite similar. Valencia was also too hot. We might actually make a video about what we like and dislike about Budapest at some point 🙂
