Budapest I lived in Budapest from 2006-2015. I had a very good time there. Budapest is a very busy and beautiful city. Budapest has two sides, Buda and Pest. These two sides are separated by a river called Duna. Buda is the spa and hills side. Buda Castle is there on the hill. In the castle district there are museums and lots of restaurants. Pest is the market side. Parliament and Heroes’ Square are there. Next to Heroes’ Square, there is a theme park which is really old and broken. The theme park closed a few years ago. Budapest has lots of districts, actually 23. Every district is slightly different. Buda has 6 districts and Pest has 17 districts. My favourite district is the one in the castle area. District 5 is a party and market area. I have lived in districts 1, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 12. In district 5 there is a market street and this district is closer to the river. The parliament is there. I love Budapest because it is beautiful at night time and in the day time. There are so many interesting things to do or, if you prefer, just go shopping! By Timea My childhood memories Childhood was the best part of my life and, looking back, I have some wonderful memories. Summer time was great. I remember walking back to Brew’s Bridge with my cousins, in the scorching hot summer and the tar on the road would stick to our feet as we loved to walk barefoot on it. Many hours would be spent swimming and we wouldn’t go home until 9:00 p.m. some nights as it was still bright and warm. In the evenings, all the neighbourhood kids would get together for a game of rounders. I think it was a bit like American baseball without 63
