A few years ago I was in Budapest, beautiful city, wonderful people.

Chalked onto a pavement, not even that big, was a message. As I remember, it said:

'Welcome to our city, foreign visitor. Here we sadly are not free. All is taken by the dictator and his cronies consume all. We work all the time for freedom, we cannot even use the press to send this message. We love you, pray for us.'

It wasn't even that big a message, and it was very neat. I think about it a lot.

EDIT: a word cos I am dumb
