Moment in Budapest...in the park

Want to try an interesting (and inexpensive) romantic gesture? Go to the love tree, where you can (literally) lock your love up and throw away the key in the nearby Danube River.

It's terribly cliche, and probably much more impressive in other places around the world, but it's still kind of a fun idea, and obviously very popular.

I found the different interpretations of what the lock itself might represent the most interesting part of all.

I especially liked the combination padlocks, which our guide said highlighted Hungarians' sense of creativity, and I guess, pragmatic nature. Because after all, "What if you break up?"
