    Yes, Buda and Pest, where Pest is pronounced Pesht. These were the big ones on either side of the river. Buda on the hillsy side and Pest on the plains side. We Hungarians are also taught of Óbuda which means ancient Buda as the third and smallest city that got merged originally in the 19th century. Then the city swallowed some other cities and villages in the coming century (1950).

          Oh… there are several life reasons, I’m afraid. Hungary (like several other countries I visited) will have to remain in my good thoughts and memories. Fortunately, as part of my “Euro Comics” project, I get to visit many of them again through bandes dessinées…
