Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Sarah Satmari, and I'm a tour guide in
Budapest and I work for Yellow Zebra Absolute Tours, and we're here on behalf of Expert
Village. Let me tell you about the style of Budapest. The trendiest here, is if you go
to a shop, which is a kind of international shop, like the bizarre, or Benetton's for
instance, or Marks and Spencer, and we like the trendy things. Since the boarders of ours
are open, during the communist years, for half a century we did not really know about
trend here in Hungary. So now in days, since the boarders are open since 1989, we've had
the chance to change the communist regime. We're ready to wear the stylish stuff, alright.
So if you just walk a little bit along the Danube, still in a lovely little street, which
is the longest pedestrian street of Budapest. We name it the Vatsy Street, you find dozen
of these shops, dozens of cafes, where you can just get in and have a sip of coffee maybe
if you're tired while you're shopping. But of course we really like, the old traditional
folk costumes of ours as well, we have different regions here in this country. And in the different
regions the people wear the different clothes. So here and there, when you just see this
kind or those kind of folk costumes and you can't be sure that all of them are Hungarian
folk costume's, but from the different regions. And when you see these different folk costumes
and of course the different traditions, you can recognize in the meantime.
