Eötvös József
Baron József Eötvös de Vásárosnamény (September 13, 1813 – February 2, 1871), Hungarian writer and statesman, the son of Baron Ignacz Eötvös and the baroness Lilian, was born at Buda. After an excellent education he entered the civil service as a vice-notary, and was early introduced to political life by his father. He also spent many years in western Europe, assimilating the new ideas both literary and political, and making the acquaintance of the leaders of the Romantic school.
the night of the baths
(Photo: Huszti István, the photo was published on www.index.hu)
Every year they organize an event called the Night of the baths. On that day all the baths and spas (we have a lot) are open during the night too. This photo was taken at the Széchenyi bath.

In a co-operation with the www.hungarystartshere.com site, starting from today, there will be a new Budapest Quiz. Maybe some of you still remember that last year, Meg (Nelson Daily Photo) and Jazzy (Tuzla Daily Photo) had both won a box of Szamos Marcipán each. This year, we (Zannnie and Zsolt) will offer to the winner a bottle of Tokaji Wine and the www.hungarystartshere.com portal offers one of their Hungary guide books in English.
See more details here.
The question of the 6th week is available here:
6. How many islands are there in Budapest on the Danube?
A, 4
B, 3
C, 2
We post new questions every week. It means for 7 days, we post the same question then we publish the next one. Such way you have a week to find us and to find the right answer:) If you answered this question already, you need not send it again!
Christmas Fair
The christmas fair at the Vörösmarty square. I just heard on the radio that this fair is a big deal, I mean the second largest in Europe, but somehow I think fairs like this are everywhere before Christmas.
Sorry I was very busy today I will publish the 6th question of the Budapest quiz tomorrow:)
