[QUOTE=DreamK;1607401]I don't consider it "sound" at all! I have one long visit in Budapest and several from Prague so I write from that experience. I absolutely recommend you Budapest if you like independent scene more like you say. Just like myself, reason for that is that independent girls in BP are like half the price what they are in Prague, so unless you are rich and don't care money then that alone should be enough to convince scale to Budapest side. Sure there could be some work to do arranging dates with those independent girls but you should not to be too lazy yourself either. Me myself gladly spend few hours in contacting girls if that way I got right girl and half the price than from some other city, but that's me. You might be different.
I sure believe there could be some problems when contacting girls in Budapest (maybe I was just lucky I had not much problems), but look it positive way there still is like hundreds of girls in Beszamolok and Rosszlanyok so just move on to next one, if some girl don't like to do business with foreigners there sure is others who will. I think overall english skills are little worse in Budapest than Prague, that might be one reason?
Few tips when contacting girls: 1. Call them directly, no sms's and keep your number visible (safety thing for girls I think) 2. Just pick those whose add has English flag in them so they should be English speakers and accept foreigners 3. Just call those working hours what their advertisement says and not any other times. Some girls might not answer if they are busy but when they are free they call you kind of "short signal" call one-two rings and hangup just to let you know that they are now free and you should now call them again, simple! 4. Some best service girls in beszamolok updates their add everyday so you can there see directly if "he / she is available today" or not and what are their working hours that day, so call those times. 5. Look and read girl reviews use google translate or other so you have some idea what kind service girl offers to others and stay away from those girls who don't allow reviews posted in their add.
And about calling girls, you can buy Vodafone prepaid sim-card at Vodafone shop at 2500 huf (its 8 euros! And if I understand correctly it includes whole 2500 huf worth of calling time inside Hungary numbers, international calls not possible for that plan. Vodefone sim is most expensive there are other phone companies too offering even cheaper pre-paids, but I don't know those I used Vodafone. Hungary scares terrorists too these days so buying sim-card you need some photo-I'd, before even some proof of your home address but not anymore! So you really don't need any "special guy" to help you buy local sim-card like one person here offered!
So if I could manage my own in Budapest and Prague without anyones "special" help so could you or anyone other reading this post and thinking about trip to Budapest, and I am not native english speaking guy either and speak zero Hungarian.
BTW. I play and played some poker too but for that Budapest is not that good, there are these days only like 2 pokerrooms in the city what I know of (they have cash games and tournaments) and casinos are not allowed serve poker at all, only those dedicated pokerrooms can. Where Prague has several casinos and clubs what have poker in them, both cash games and tournaments.[/QUOTE]Well DreamK, you've only reiterated why I'm taking the leap and making the trek to Budapest on August 27th. I'll have 4 full nights there and I very much look forward to the challenge and sampling the local goods. I have nothing but time while I'm there. The only agenda is banging as many hotties as I can. I have not yet decided if I'll take-up a local guide for his services, which will run me about 50 Euros / day. This would certainly take a lot of the leg work out of the equation, but maybe that's half the fun?
Drama.
