August 10 , 2010 - Correspondent's diary, Day three: Food for thought in Budapest
BUDAPEST is my favourite city in the region, which makes me all the crosser that it is so strikingly badly run: dirty, congested and ill-regulated. It is the only place built as a majestic capital metropolis and with surviving roots to its glory days. The setting is spectacular. The bridges are eyecatching. The parliament, national bank, ministries and university all look as if they were built to last by people with taste on a grand scale, and serious ambitions for the future.
