    Central Market--look for langos (lan gosh) 2nd floor
    There's a farmers market somewhere in Buda, but not sure where
    Lots of smoking on the streets--PU
    St Stephens cathedral
    don't use euros--get forints (HUF) at ATMs
    MAke sure you validate your transport tickets!! Unless you get mutli hour transport card (good for anything except the funicular) 24 hrs is 7 bucks, 72 is under 20. typical pass--trams are good to see stuff--the hills are really tough to walk up.

    I almost forgot!! I have a driver--you can get a pickup if you want a treat 6,400 forints ($34--a few bucks more than taxi on meter)) --he'll wait until last pax are cleared--w/sign
    His name is Pulai Alajos
    http://budapestairporttaxi.com

    Match is the large local grocery--wines, picnic stuff etc

    funky!! ICN is one of the BEST airports I've ever dealt with--gotta love Airport Town--free shuttle to the Queen Hotel--stinky greasy bfast BUT steam roon hsoweres and computers in room. there is a restaurant across the street w/ Korean BBG and exhaust fans above every tabel--tres cheap--the place around the block has oyster soup of some sort for BF. train goes into Seoul or you can do the DMZ tour

    Well, it seems that DL has not canceled any flights due to the volcano yet and now ICN Biz class is full so BUD it is!!!!
    You do have me interested in ICN now though!
