Budapest is not immune to decay and neglect. The Ferris Wheel was fun, affording a great view of the city. No trip to Budapest would be complete without a chimney cake. Shops are all around-here’s one on the street. River cruise at night reveals a reflection of the Parliament Building—the white dots above are white birds circling all night. The Soviet Union liberated Budapest and erected a monument that happens to be across the square from the American Embassy. American culture is pervasive, as you see with the New York barbershop and in the shop featuring Barbie for teens.
