Bathing in Budapest
Saturday, September 20th, 2008So the data retention workshop was really cool and interesting. I’ll write more about it later, but I’m pretty tired right now. Most of the conference participants went out to dinner afterwards, at a fairly fancy restaurant. I didn’t have a lot of money, so I basically ordered the cheapest thing on the menu (some sort of cabbage and noodles dish, which wasn’t bad). Little did I realize that Central European University was picking up the tab. I should’ve gone to town! They also provided an excellent catered lunch for the conference, so kudos all around to CEU for being such fine hosts.
Anyway, because I’m lazy about writing right now, here’s some photos of the Széchenyi Baths I went to yesterday. It was a pretty neat experience, kind of like a cross between a public pool and a water park. One thing that isn’t very obvious from the photos was the fact that it was actually really cold out, but the water is extremely warm (25-40°C depending on which pool).
