No, its not Paris couple of months ago. Its my lovely city, Budapest.:( You can see more photos here, and you can read my opinion on the events here. I just hate this.

Tribute to Bohumil Hrabal


He is one of my favorite Czech writer. His stories from the old beer factory amazed me very much. In Kőbánya (the district I was born in Budapest) there is an old beer factory, too. As you can see all ruins. But among the ruined walls somehow still I can feel the athmosphere of the world that Hrabal described with such a good talent in his books.

I created a short “movie” about this beer factory. You can see it here.

Find your place!


Yesterday I went to the mall to my mobile phone company to “kill bill”.:) And in the underpass I found this fun. They put the large satellite photo of Budapest(probably from Google Earth) to the floor and you can find your place on it. After some walk I found my area, too.

toward being multicultural

I admire cities like London, Paris, Amsterdam which are very colorful. A lot of very different people with very different origins. I took this photo yesterday in a mall. The little Asian (with my European eyes I can’t recognize if she is Chinese, Japanese or Korean or….) girl was so obsessed with the helicopter that she even didn’t see me taking photo of her. I asked the permission from her mommy who was smiling proudly. We have some Chinese people in Budapest but I wouldn’t say Hungary is multicultural already. Its still a big deal to see Asian or African people and any time I can hear them speaking our very difficult language fluently I feel like woww!…Its a sort of honour…

Trabant


This former Eastern German car is called Trabant. Weeks ago I seen a Trabant on Philipp’s Berlin Daily Photo site and I decided to post a similar one. My first car was a Trabant, too. I got it as a present from my grandpa after I graduated successfully in the highschool. But my grandpa was a very funny guy and he asked the mechanics to add some red color to the originally white car. Guess what was the result? …………………………yes, my first car was a pink Trabant:)

Where is the sun comming from?




If you didnt know it before, now you can see that someone is blowing out the sun as a bubble from my University’s window.:) Afterwards in the morning it appears in Japan right over the House of the rising sun, and in California it falls into the ocean while Nicolas Cage is watching it with his black dressed mates.:)

Cow Parade

Best of www.budapestdailyphoto.com

I have seen that in some of your cities had cow parade, too. This cow was in front of the St. Stephen Basilica first but it became a scandal and one night they removed it to the building of the liberal party. Finally it found its place on the Vörösmarty tér.
