A-38 Ukranian Warship AKA Dank Food and Technofest.

We took two different trams that took about 25-30 minutes to get to our destination of A-38 the reconstructed Ukrainian battle ship that was reconstructed and set on the south side of the Danube river. Here is a link if you want to see pictures of the A-38 and our meal.

Basically we had five different wines most of which were white. The first meal was simply three small pieces of multigrain brad that had a cheese spread on top with a white wine. I believe it was Sauvignon Blanc. The next dish was our salad that had a raspberry vinaigrette dressing with strawberries and lamb meat. This was the only wine that we had that was a rose. The third dish had a full body white wine with sol fish, noodles, scallops and a white sauce. The forth dish was composed of Rabbit and some meat from a wild bird in Hungary compete with a house sauce and asparagus again with a full body white wine. Last but not least our fifth course was cheese cake that had mango, pears and pineapple on the side with a white dessert wine. So delicious.

The group was all hanging out side on the dock of the boat before we headed down stair to the basement of the boat where a huge rave was going on. We got free passes to the Rave from the owner Zultan who was probably one of the most sophisticated Hungarians that I have ever met. Once we all went down to the club we knew that we had arrived to something special. The DJ was a mix between pretty lights and tiesto with a sick bar and laser light show to match. There was a large group of people from Amsterdam there from students who were studying abroad as well. I meet a group of beautiful Brazilians who were there with a movie director working in Budapest at the time. I met some crazy raving local Hungarians that were making out on the stage while many other people were making out around the club. Free love is big in Europe. This was definitely the place to go for the night life in Budapest seeing that it was only a Thursday night and the club was packed. I didn't get home till 4 am and the party didn't stop till 5 am. It was a good night.
