Taught by Tököl: A history lesson in the patchy grass
After having been away from the Cafebabel world for a while, I’m obviously spoilt for choice with things to tell you about life in this fair city. I’ve decided, though, to keep it recent. In the wake of a new prime minister, a non-political bike protest, unusually high spring temperatures and a national obsession with the Hungarian word for hedgehog spreading like wild-fire, I turned the ripe old age of 26. I was 24 when I arrived here at the start of the month-long stay I had planned, and this month I celebrated my coming of age in true eclectic Budapestian style. There’s not room to share it all with you here; but for now, here’s a particular highlight. On the blog budapest.

The city was a fast mover
After my distinctly shakey start, there was a steady courtship between myself and the city. This moved quickly, and I would honestly say that I fell in love with Budapest on my first Friday here. After chatting with new friends – from many countries, including Hungary – on my new balcony (which I’m sure wasn’t built to hold so many), we headed out into the night. We walked along the Danube, taking in the illuminated parliament building, the many bridges, and the warm, buzzing air. I felt alive, and I knew that the city was playing a big part in this.

Budapest was where I was supposed to be heading
I came to Hungary in 2007, to train to teach English as a foreign language at International House, Budapest. The trip was supposed to last 4 weeks. I’m still here. My decision to come here was simple. I wanted to complete the CELTA qualification, Budapest was the cheapest place for me to do this, and I’d never been here before. I could have gone to Barcelona, Bangkok, Bogota or Nice. In fact, the course runs pretty much anywhere in the world. I actually secured a job in Thailand a few days before applying for the course here – but like many of these things, I had a feeling about the place. Budapest was where I was supposed to be heading.
