Ninth month in Budapest, the same capital city, talk about the difference with Paris, France.
- $Salary $
The top priority and greatest concern of the Chinese people must be $$$$$.
First of all, let's learn about the French tax system, which can reflect from the side the annual salary level of middle and senior executives in France.
Most French high business graduates in the third tier, that is, the annual salary before tax (45k, 65k), after tax (230,000, 340,000) yuan.
Second term: EU Blue Card. Generally speaking, if you qualify for this card, you can default to entering the middle level of the country.France's EU Blue Card standard is 54k euros before tax, which is the third tier in the above figure, and Hungary's is 14k euros. Horizontal comparisons are illogical. Compared to the vertical cost of living, prices in France are almost twice as high as in Hungary, but the happiness index of white-collar workers varies from person to person. For example, if you care about safety in your life, when you walk down the street and Budapest is all white versus Paris surrounded by Arabs and black people, the feeling of safety is completely incomparable.
- Life
Start with a summary of food and clothing.
Supermarket prices are about half, 50-60% of what they are in France.
Restaurant meals, the same three Western food, France 30 euros starting plate, Budapest 25 euros up and down.
Accommodation, almost half of France, 500 euros in the capital Budapest can live in the center of the city; And 500 euros in the big and small Paris intersection, is a small house.
Traffic, Budapest does not have to buy tickets, walk more than an hour from the south living area, through the tourist attractions, to the north city center, weekdays are not so congested; Living in Paris, bus card a month 75 euros, no card is not able to live, small Paris will traffic jams. In addition, the Grand Paris Metro has an indescribable odor, and compared to the spacious and bright bus, while driving to see the Ottoman architecture, I still prefer the latter.
Water quality
The water quality in Budapest is much better than in Lyon and Paris, France. I don't use Brita filter in France, I can't drink it at all. The water in the tap in Budapest, there is nothing floating on it.
In the thermos cup used in France, the inner liner is like decaying skin, the bottom has an unknown calcium layer shape, and the wall is full of minerals that "let me lose a handful of hair."
- Prices
The price of Hungary, just let me from Paris to float over the flowers... Going out to eat once a day is not a problem, Budapest is half of Paris, the feeling is the price of African Morocco, the European Union third grade quality.
With the exception of a few major European cities (London, Paris, Barcelona), supermarkets in other cities are all mini models. The freshness of quality is not comparable to France.
The Budapest supermarket, like the non-import supermarket in Shanghai, is chaotic, small and unexciting to shop at. The supermarket I imagined was a two-story one: Carrefour, Tesco, Auchan; In Lyon, I think I may have overthought, such a big Carrefour, in Lyon only two; To Paris, the big supermarket can be counted a hand, but they are very suburban; In Budapest, zero? ! ? ! Street than the family twice the size of the mini supermarket, is everywhere, the variety is unusually small, the goods are not fresh, so live experience, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, the gap is still very big.
First day in Budapest, the lowest purchase,
It's a touching LOW price.
In the lower right corner of the meal pack and churros cinnamon roll (travel friends can taste it once), in France is a more beautiful cowhide bag, in Eastern Europe is transparent tape.
This similar supermarket day baked "pastry bag", Hungary 0.2 euros, France 1.2 euros, because this pastry bag in Europe, are fluffy with butter, France with French butter, other countries with local butter, on butter, of course, France is high quality, Hungary's own butter, are not attractive milk aroma. In terms of price, that's six times, which means,
Sometimes can't eat butter noble where + different paper + different labor, is it worth 6 times?
On my second day in Budapest, I went to the nearby supermarket to buy goods and compared them with the cheap and beautiful Auchan of France.
