When the Titanic sank the Aberdeen Press and Journal had the headline:
"Aberdeen Man Lost At Sea"
and underneath it in small letters
"Others Feared Drowned Too"

Budapest is usually described since the "Little Paris of Middle Europe" and if you wish to see that city you will need to take a look with hotelbye . Budapest is popular not only for the monuments showing its own 1,000-year-old culture, but in addition for the relics of others who settled here. Remains from both Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks may still be seen in the city. Budapest has two factors, Buda and Pest, extending over the banks of the Danube, and they're addressing two various characters of the city. Suburban Buda and its old castle area present ancient roads and properties, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The vibrant Pest side offers the biggest parliament making in Europe, riverside promenades, flea areas, bookstores, vintage shops and café houses.
