I never had a car like this but I really like these old Volkswagens. I guess this is the only car (at least in Europe) which remain popular in his original shape even after decades. You can find planty of them in Budapest.

The Christmas is coming
I can’t believe that just a few more weeks and Christmas is here again. But the signs of it are obvious. Westend City Center mall in Budapest.
Ferenciek tere
The Ferenciek tere (Ferenciek square) from an other angle. The church in the background is the Franciscan church of the square. Previous posts about the same place:
Tabloid photo
Its an old tradition in Hungary. Universities, colleagues even highschools take photos of the graduating students and they creat a tabloid from it which will be exhibited somewhere in the city at a public place. This photo is about the graduating class of special education teachers.
City Hall
The City Hall of Budapest in the Vth district.
Laundry
Public laundry. Not too often to see it in Budapest anymore though in the 60s it was quite common here too. Its not a self-service system there is a staff that handle your cloths and other materials. People usually bring there suits or special clothes.
Kogart
This is the facade of Kogart in Budapest, a villa with interior spaces by Ignác Alpar and architect István Pucher. The building was built by Ferenc József Landauer burgess of Pest as a summer residence at the end of the 1800s. Nowadays it aims to encourage broader participation in social causes by the private sector and to establish a new model for art patronage, especially for fine arts and promoting talented young artists.
