Debrecen


A few weekends ago, our entire program boarded a bus and drove east to Debrecen, the second largest city in Hungary. It was a pretty small town though. This was the view from our hotel room of the pedestrian walkway in city center.

After communism, many nationalistic movements arose that tended to also be anti-semitic. This was one such rally outside our hotel the first night we arrived.

The tram, which I never ended up needing because the town was so small.

Hungarian poet named Petofi; most streets, bridges, and plazas are named after Hungarian poets, and this is a popular one. I can't say I've seen any English translations though.

I make a point of visiting a park every Sunday. This one was small and shitty, so we climbed on their monuments. Suckers.
