Gödör Klub

Gödör

The Gödör Klub is one of the most popular place in the downtown of Budapest. Especially among the youth. The photo was taken around 1 pm, during the evening all those chairs and stairs are taken. Years ago the National Theater supposed to be here, but I do not mind that in the middle of the downtown instead of a theater you can find a very active entertainment center.

művészeti muze

Budapest

I mean Szépművészeti Muzeum. Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. The museum was built in 1906 on the Heroes’ Square. In the last few years I visited some great exhibitions there. Monet and some later Van Gogh…my favourites are the impressionists:)

evening at the Danube

Budapest

The best think in the summer is that days are very long. Early sunrise and late sunset. During the day the heat can be terrible but those few cool minutes at the sunset are wonderful!:)

Last week they introduced this newly invented eco-car in Budapest at the Museum of Transport. Solo is a very interesting concept. Works with solar panels with a modern engine and even with human power using the padles in traffic jams.

Elderly home

Elderly home

Nyugdíjas pedagógusok otthona….Home for retired teachers. Looks like a castle, or like a church to me. But to be honest I don’t want to live in a home like this. I prefer more family-like grouphomes.
