Budapest won a title...almost.

Peter and I were eating dinner (ramen noodles with veggies) when we started on the topic of air quality. We have moved three times and are currently looking at moving yet again, and air quality has always been a point of contention. So, in order to get some piece of mind, we bought a very expensive air filter. 

I argued that San Diego has MUCH better air quality than Budapest, and Peter had to disagree. I turned to my trusty iPad and voila! Budapest, out of 25 EU cities, ranks 24th in air quality. Bucharest won the title, leaving Budapest in a sad second place. This poor city can't even win a battle that doesn't involve weapons. On a better note, the article mentioned people die on average 22 months earlier due to this pollution. Maybe this new information will encourage someone to apply for pilot jobs outside of Hungary. 

                                                                 Vs. 

Ok, this depiction may not be fair, but I miss home. And no, bird poop doesn't count as air pollution.
