It’s weird to be stuck in a beautiful hotel room in Budapest. Luckily, I was here a few months ago on holiday, so I did see a lot of the city then. This time, it’s pure business. I flew in last minute, had brilliant meals and drinks and a room in a fab part of town taken care of, and am being paid handsomely for a cheezy interactive toy I set up at a party last night (I will not name the company, nor will I likely use this piece ever again, unless the same company wants it for another party).
But I am exhausted, have heaps of writing to do for a publication I’m working on (had anticipated doing this over the last few days, but that was before this corporate job came up), and I’ve noticed that altho most of the business peops made it to the party, they’ve not seen much of Budapest, save for each other – in the pre-organized meeting places, at the pre-organized meeting times, doing pre-organizeds things, which have little to do with Hungary.
I think I liked my last trip better.
