Four days in Budapest and probably less than three hours of rest at night. On the plane back to Paris, I slept like a log even before we were up in the air. It was not my first time among the Magyars. I visited the city many years ago with a group of friends and went back ten months ago… Read more →
We cannot express enough gratitude to AEGEE-Budapest for organizing such an amazing event. Since it is so easy to name many things that are great about the events, we decided to focus on the frustrations a bit as well.
