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!

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
