Day of András in Hungary. Its from the Latin Andreas…he was the brother of St. Peter..the first disciple of Jezus. Happy name-day to every Andrew!:)
  When it comes to colder weather, you can see lesser people on the streets in Budapest. This promenade along the river is normally full of opened restaurants and tourists can be seen walking up and down, but nowadays it is totally empty. The city prepares itself to the long sleep and waits for the next spring when the first sunny days will invite people to the streets again…..

hmm…. look at this ;) does it make you salivate yet?

This Hungarian food smells really great! Being here, all the food really live up to its presentation;) In case you wanna know, the Hungarian paprika is thought to be the finest, and will be labelled as from the Szeged region. This skewed meat cubes+onions+cucumbers with cheese on top had paprika sprinkled on to add color.
We bought some Paprika powder and I found out that Paprika releases its color and flavor when heated. Thus, sprinkling ground paprika over colorless dishes may improve their appearance, but does little for their flavor. Do you know? if you want to color the contents of a dish, it is best to stir the paprika into a little hot oil before adding ;)

Zsolt hopes you will share with him a similar proverb/saying from your country. It can be with similar meaning also…but its not a problem if its different. The main point is to collect proverbs/phrases/sayings from all over the world!

The proverb for today is:

One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

(meaning: No two persons are alike – every one has his own preferences, likes and dislikes.)

The fruits and fresh produce were indeed very neatly arranged. To me, it looked like a ‘up-market’ ;) Like ‘Jason Marketplace’, or even of some big malls with a basement ‘super’ market. Cos you can see how interesting and beautiful the internal iron railings are, and the spherical shaped lightings that are being used entirely in the market. And as you walk upstairs to the mezzanine level with lots of folk art booths that sells handicrafts of fabric coasters, aprons, folk costumes, embroidery, needlework, doilies, tablecloth and ornaments…

Day of Virág in Hungary. It means flower.

Time ago i posted a photo of my garden with the rose when it was sunny. Now you can see the same place with a real foggy November background.:) I will show you the snow version, too…soon I guess.

Today I start a new game. Its not a quiz now…there is no prize…but I guess we all can enjoy it. I am fond of proverbs. Wise way to express at times very deep messages shortly. Every country, every culture has its proverbs, sayings or phrases. I would like to collect them from your culture.

In the next 7 days I will post 7 Hungarian proverbs. And I encourage you to share with me a similar one from your country. It can be with similar meaning than mine…but its not a problem if its different. The main point is to collect proverbs/phrases/sayings from all over the world! Lets start:

He who says A, should also say B.

Do you have any idea of the meaning?

Feel free to write your version from your country!

Built by architect Samu Petz in 1897, this central market called ‘Központi Vásárcsarnok’ was restored in 1994 after a huge fire.

Here, you can find all kinds of fresh produce, meat, cheese, grocery, flowers and Hungarian specialities. The locals who live nearby buy food from here too. The mezzanine level houses folk-art booths and snack bars where we had ‘Lángos‘ – the traditional hungarian snack. But since the portion is so big, I am eating it like my ‘lunch’ ;) The original with sour cream, garlic and cheese:) This photos shows the basement level. Also it is where you can find fishmongers, pickles, a grocery store and a shop selling colonial produce.

In my next coming post, I shall show you the mezzanine level detailing, which I am very impressed with.

This is the address: IX. Vámház körút, 1-3

Personally I like to look at the details of the architectures besides its entirety. That’s the true beauty. I moved closer. Then a young lad came up to me and started to introduce (promote) a folklore of the Hungarians just before I took this shot.
Maybe some of you would be curious to see how the zoomed out view of the Basilica shot by me looks like:) Could you see? The detailing seemed to be telling a story amongst the 13 characters…What do you think could be the story?;)

Day of Cecília in Hungary. This name comes from the Latin Caecilius (belongs to the tribe Cecilius) If you look at this photo carefully it may be familiar to you in a way. This is the Boráros square. A memorial for the "bor árus" (wine sellers). Actually i like the mood of this sculpture. The ...

Day of Jolán in Hungary. This name was created by the writer András Dugonics in a roman published in 1803. It comes from the expression “jó leány” (good girl).

Not too long time ago I posted a photo where in the distance the Museum of Ethnography was visible. Some of you asked me to show the building and the statues on it better. Here is a photo from an other angle and on my Chaoren site you can see more details.

p.s.: as you can see I moved my site to WordPress. Kris even asked why in her comment. Its very simple. It was just enough of the difficulties on blogger. Its down, cuts the half of my pics, the sidebar jumps down and people have difficulties to reach it or comment on it. And Denton helped a lot to change so all you can see here is totally his job. Thank you Denton!
