The only time that I slept in a car instead of a hotel was in Budapest. 90% of the reason was because I wanted to try it. 5% of the reason was because of a severe language problem.<BR><BR>Magyar signs are impossible to read (except to Hungarians). Neither English nor Japlish is spoken. Neither is French. My awful German and their German is so different that it rarely helps.<BR><BR>Oh, I did sleep in the car in a small town in Australia because all the hotel rooms in the town and next town were fully booked.

Hiroshi, the information the you provide is misleading. English is widely spoken in the tourist areas of Budapest, Szentendre and Godollo. <BR><BR>And, "escorts" has another connotation to it, but you already know that. You just like being controversial.

Oh, sorry for the bad advise. I used the wrong word and got "escorted tour" confused with the other word. Oh, don't look up "escorts"<BR><BR>..but during a fist fight, you can say my phrase for "go away"
