- 11 Apr 2016 9:00 AM
- health & wellness
Today I’m venturing into the world of healthcare, specifically hygiene or rather the lack of it in some Hungarian hospitals. A discussion of the high rate of infections contracted in hospitals began when the movement “1001 physicians without gratuity” called attention to the problem.

Needless to say, Budapest is home of countless street food eateries. I could summarise it as the good, the bad, and the atrocious. Let’s focus on the good.
