Dear tourists please be respectful of Budapests people and surroundings.

Today, as I was heading home with my friends on a Saturday night, we got off the tram. I noticed a group of tourists or expats passing by, and a man diligently cleaning the tram stop. To my disbelief, two of the girls and one guy in the group started carelessly throwing trash on the ground near the hardworking gentleman, laughing and making a scene. It infuriated me, as I could never tolerate such disrespect.

Feeling compelled to stand up for the cleaner, I confronted the group and demanded they clean up their mess, reminding them to show some respect. In response, they mockingly imitated my words in a childish manner before running off. Undeterred, I joined the gentleman and helped him clean up the area. As an international student, I've always held a deep respect and appreciation for this community and country, and I believe in doing my part to maintain its beauty and dignity.
