Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week, I took a 1-hour and 15-minute flight from Budapest to Warsaw and back. I also took the train to Budapest, which is about 1 hour and 45 minutes. I also biked around Eger to go to the main square and visit the Eger Castle. 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I have traveled 12 hours by plane (including a layover in Germany) from New Jersey to Budapest, and have visited different cities in Hungary with some other Fulbrighters. Together, we've gone to the Hungarian cities Debrecen and Tokaj, which are about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Eger by car, and Visegrád, which is about 2 hours from Eger by car. I also travel by train to Budapest from Eger about once every two weeks for different Fulbright events.

How did I get around this week?:

In Eger, I ride my bike almost everywhere. It's faster than taking the local bus system since there are convenient bike paths all around the city. In Warsaw, I mostly walked around to explore the city, but I also used the bus and tram systems. 

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place I visited was the Uprising Museum in Warsaw! The museum discussed the uprising of the Polish resistance in 1944 against the German occupation of Poland during World War II.
