Day 43: Culture, a life line of Hungary – Budapest, Hungary

(Him: Charlie)

Budapest is a beautiful city. It’s also a very lively city as well. Jo and I compared Budapest with Prague and we feel that Budapest is a better city. Not only because Budapest has a more spread out old town (the Prague old town is only concentrated in one area, and does not seem to have not much outside of it), but it also is more metropolitan with tons of cultural events and modern life.

One of the things I noticed in Hungary is how proud Hungarians feel about their art heritage, and how well they preserve it. In Budapest, as well as other Hungarian cities, many squares, roads, landmark buildings are named after poets, composers, musicians, writers, architects, etc. If we take out the art from Hungary, a huge part of the Hungarian culture would be lost.

What would be biggest component of the Canadian culture? What about the Chinese culture?
