Labyrinth in Buda

We didn't really consider the fact that all three of us are mildly afraid of the dark. The trouble is you must first find the beam of light in complete darkness without banging into the stone walls. There even was this fountain of wine, which I thought, smelled awful. It looked more like blood flowing from the tap. We spend like 1 hour there and we lost like 3 times.

Towards the end of the "tour," we got to a series of rooms called the "other world."
Particular thanks to Heidirific of http://heidirific37.blogspot.com, this was my favourite part too. See, the descriptions of the rooms were written in a future perspective looking back on the world today. The world was occupied by homoconsumerists and they led a strange life indeed.

John, Evan, and Marshall from http://twelvecountries.blogspot.com perhaps had an opposing view
You get to the first fossil, which has a footprint. You read the plaque - it says "footprint, circa 42 million years ago." You look at the footprint again... and see a nike swoosh. Seriously. This is Hungarian humor at its finest.

Reading all the plaques however I came to realise that this was genuinely a respectable piece of satirical art. The people designing it had perhaps been influenced by the endgame sequence in Sid Meier's Civilization. "There were no traces of culture, art or religion" Perhaps it's possible that a section of our society could consume and de-evolve itself to extinction. I will explore these ideas further in my forthcoming review of Ben Elton's novel Blind Faith.
