Ep.199 We'd heard Budapest was special. We wanted to see for ourselves. What we found was one of the most layered, surprising, and thought-provoking cities we've ever visited. After 17 days living a short walk from the Hungarian Parliament, we found things most visitors never see: tiny bronze sculptures hiding in plain sight, a protest memorial that keeps coming back no matter how many times it's removed, a cafe that communism tried to erase, iron shoes at the river's edge, and on one particular night, we saw history happening right outside our front door. Budapest om rewards anyone willing ian watkins to look twice. This is what we found. ❤️
