Mini-festival in the Vth district. Actually it was a short one day event for families in our neighbourhood. We wanted to buy some French cheese but by the time we arrived back home they were gone.

The funeral of CD

The funeral of the CD

This coffin I found yesterday in the downtown. I can’t decide if this is a performance for protecting copy rights or a symbolic farewell of an old technology.

March 15, in Budapest

March 15

March 15 is a big day in Hungary. It’s a day that right before when all the local citizens are all well-prepared. Prepared? For example, if you try to get quotations on the 14th, they will tell you nothing will be done as all the way til March 18 they will be closed. They will resume and get back to reply you only then. Basically, on the streets there are protests or some called it as ‘celebration’ or commemoration of the Revolution and the following War of Independence against the Austrian-Habsburg rule in 1848-49. Usually you will hear the not forgotten Nemzeti Dal or National Song by poet Sándor Petőfi (1823-1849). Other than this, it is also a family day other than a National holiday when every shop or public services will be closed. At the National Museum, hussars are seen riding around on horse back and their uniforms are pretty impressive.

Viktor we are with you

Viktor We are with you

On the 2nd of January we have reported about the demonstration in Budapest against Orbán Viktor’s government.

Today an other demonstration was organized, supporting Orban Viktor’s government and claiming: Viktor we are with you!

We belong here

Budapest

People gathering for the large demonstration against Viktor Orban’s insane government in Hungary. At Oktogon Burger King members of a Roma organization were waiting for mates with this small transparent saying: WE BELONG HERE…

I agree.
