Monsoon country
We turned into a monsoon country, with massive rainfalls and storms that take about 3 hours to get here from Vienna. No problem that I spend every other day at least 20 minutes watching the lightings around 1-3AM and drag along the following day…
But today :) Once again I had delicate footwear on (some orange sandals) which I wanted to protect from the heavy afternoon rain so I crossed the Vérmező Park barefoot (again). It is an awesome feeling when the hot concrete is warming your sole as the refreshing rain is pouring down from above. It makes you feel energised and alive. And out of the box. How refreshing, before the 10 year high school graduation reunion tonight… :)
Balkan Beat Box… numero uno
Oh my… This is music… I made up my mind. For progenitorial purposes Idan Raichel is the one, as I have already said. But as of today, the gypsy band Amaro Del was overcome as far as liveliness is concerned… Still can't believe… The Balkan Beat Box simply rocks… we were jumping, dancing, smiling throughout the entire concert and I spent all day today in semi-asleep thankfulness that they came. And not only because of Dylan's 20-year-old version with cigarette sticking out of his mouth (Uri)! :)
They are a must and here is the list of their upcoming concerts. They are going to make you move… this time they haven't even used all the instruments they could have. They don't update neither the photoblog nor the shots on their website, but if you would like to get a feel of the concerts it's worth checking them out! And listen… no – go to a concert!!!
What’s that Trash?
In Budapest, districts provide an opportunity for everyone to get rid of all their unwanted furniture, electrical devices, magazines, books, records and whatever else they don’t need any more. People can leave these items two previously announced times a year, out on the street. Dates vary district to district. After a few days of exposition, the district will clean up the trash from the street. Read more »

Tourists About Hungarians
What do the tourists say?
Those who have been pickpocketed or robbed say though Budapest may be beautiful, they will never come back. That is understandable. Otherwise, the comments are wonderfully positive.
Most tourists said that people were as friendly as possible when they could not communicate in each others’ languages. Read more »
Budapest, the Elegant Elderly Woman
After arriving in Budapest, I found out for myself and can say that today, after visiting more than thirty countries that I consider Budapest my favorite city.
I was captivated by the incredible flavors of the food, blessed by the thoughtful courtesy of the people, and amazed by the nighttime view of the city from Gellért Hill. Read more »
Budapest: A Marriage Made In Danube
What makes the Hungarian capital an endlessly diverse adventure is the fact that in 1873, two towns (yes, Buda and Pest) on opposite sides of the Danube River united to become known as the Queen of the Danube and one of the largest cities in the European Union today. Brace yourself for the most unique experience in Eastern (or all) Europe Read more »
