The generic meaning of this word ‘Étterem‘ is restaurant;) This particular Étterem was where I finally tried the most spicy Hungarian gyros:) And it was really delicious looking, like this >> check it out;) However, to me, it can’t match the BEST gyros (in one of the Greek restaurant) in the Mammut
Yesterday I went to a post office to pick up some official letters. Ohh you cant imagine how much I hate when they dont deliver a letter, yet just leave a piece of paper indicating that you have to go there to pick up. Because its soooooooo official…that maybe if the postman deliver it, the sky will fall down to the ground!:)
SO anyway..I walked to the post office in the downtown and I found a demonstration there. First I thought they were protesting because they have the same problem with the postman who didnt deliver the letter and forced them to go to the post office.
But actually they were there because of the Budapest City Hall in front of the post office. Students and teachers were protesting against their dissent, that their high school which authorities want to close. It was peaceful and innocent but still loud enough to give voice to their opinion. Here you can see a short video of it:)

Somehow, I love this photo…it sets off a certain mood, a certain kind of atmosphere…I dunno how to use words to describe, perhaps having it in the form of photo which speaks a thousand words is better than writing any further……Do you like it too?
Its been a rainy day today. Actually this photo was taken in the Autumn but since seasons seem to be mixed up very much lately I decided to post this photo today. Because the mood of the city is totally like this. Like in October, gentle, not too noisy rain, its not warm but you can survive with a light coat and everything is in a strange silent mood. While posting I am listening to Jan Garbarek and maybe if you wanna “swimm” with me in this mood just click here to listen.
From the inside of the Keleti Pályaudvar – Eastern Railway Station, it looked a bit dark, but this angle is somewhat with a mysterious effect. It always make me feel very ‘small’ being in the Railway Station…And to be honest, I dun even know how does our singapore railway station looked like :p
To me its always a fun to stay in the car in the carwash. Turning on the music and screaming while the water hits the windows and the big rolling exotic dancers are coming:) Ok not screaming…but its surely big fun! Maybe you can catch the mood watching the video here.
For some reason, I like this look of this building. It actually is an insurance company owned by the OTP bank. I’m not exactly sure, but on it I saw the ‘otp’. Zsolt wrote a funny story about otp’s card before:) In this photo, I found the sun rays peering out this way very interesting:)
As I promised here is the view I found at the other side of the foggy bridge. More fog:) And these brave cars are still disappearing in it. The fog is always mysterious to me. Even well known places become secretful with it.
In Budapest, mammut means a mammoth mall:) And I found this baby with some other Hungarian children at the mall looking curiously at the foam and bubbles in the fountain water. I’ve captured this and you can listen to the children speaking in Hungarian:)
Are you sure there is ‘the other side’? Its always a risk to disappear in a fog like this. In two days time, I will show you what I found after crossing the bridge:)
I like this sandwich in Budapest, but I don’t eat it too often – only twice:) It was a huge portion, and with fresh beefy tomatoes and onions and bacon and chicken (which is not the same as the ones we tried in Prague too). It tastes much like a burger king for some reasons and in Singapore only Burger King serves the most delicious burger/sandwich. Otherwise, it would be ‘SUBWAY’;)
