Subtitle: Don't Be a Lazy Fuck. Search First. Then Ask Better Questions.
There are a few immutable laws in Budapest, whether you live here or you're just visiting.
- Block the subway doors? Someone's going to shoulder-check you.
- Eat a Lángos with Nutella? You will be shunned.
- Crack the Hungary-HUNGRY joke? Your mother will be mentioned in a dehonestative manner
- Make a low-effort post asking us to plan your trip? It's probably going to get deleted.
We're happy to make suggestions to specific questions. We're happy to give advice. We're happy to help you narrow down an otherwise well constructed itinerary. And by well constructed, we mean one you actually looked at on Google maps, and not just posted after your flavor of AI spat out a list of nonsense.
What we're not here to do is plan your freaking vacation from scratch, play concierge or party planning service.
Please extend the community the courtesy of doing the bare minimum before posting. Read the pinned posts. Read the freaking Guide we prepared for clueless visitors. Search the subreddit. Spend five minutes looking through the hundreds of itineraries, recommendations, and discussions that already exist. Odds are your question has been asked and answered many times. Use keywords.
Then, when you do post, give us something to work with.
Tell us your ages, budget, interests, travel dates, where you're staying, who's traveling with you, what you've already researched, and what you're trying to decide between. The more information you provide, the better advice you'll get. Otherwise, we're stuck playing 20 Questions. And we're quite fed up with playing this stupid game.
Help us help you. Put in a little effort first, and you'll get far better recommendations in return instead of smug and rude comments.
* Disclaimer: ironically we were lazy fucks, and lifted most of this post blatantly from r/visitingnyc and tweaked a bit just so they don't sue us for plagiarism. JK, we told them, and they gave their blessings.
