Conductors arrested in Budapest

Four conductor in the Budapest metro has been arrested today.
Police looked for the conductors for days now to catch them in action.
They were asked foreign tourists to pay fines to them, without any receipt/invoice, or give sold them fake tickets for high prices.

Police caught the conductors as they fined two foreign tourist for 6000 forints and as the tourists did not have only 5000, they took the money.

It is an ongoing problem in Budapest that conductors on underground,tram,buses did not speak languages and sometime they ask fake fines tourists. And if someone do not want to pay they go rude.
The Budapest Transport Co is using CCTV cameras and security stuff to keep the transit system safe both for passengers and employees.
Visitors,travellers should have to report all problem to local police station or their country's embassy in Budapest.

The hungarian police was searching for eyewitnesses partnered with french police investigators, the fellow students made search on the internet without success.
There were many phone calls to the police, that they saw the girl in Romania, different places in Budapest...but no clues. Until now, although if the body is Ophelie's , the reason is still hidding.

Low on budget high on experience

How to spend a relaxing week in 2009 to save money and have family fun?

Try rural holidays in Hungary!
Hungary has many really pretty and cosy villages, near or far from big cities, like you can get a nice village house near lake balaton or budapest as well, as you can get it in the eastern part of the country.



if you'd like to have more people around you, try one near the lake balaton.
These houses are well equipped, with full kitchen, tv, bathroom so nothing that rural.
And much cheaper than a hotel. A complete house around 10000 HUF per day (suits for 4-5persons). That is only 2000-2500 HUF per day only, which is nearly 20euro in these days (1EUR=300HUF).

If you prefer less noise and tourits, try a real rural area.
The people are nice and friendly (although do not speak maybe other language only hungarian), the natural surroundings are original and rich in forests, rivers, creeks, birds.
You can sleep well and wake up for song of the birds, can take shorter-longer walks, fishing, biking (usually can rent bikes from the owner), horse riding or simply discover the village and nearby cities, sights.
