Sziget Festival 2007 DAY ONE!
Beyond words. This place is full of FUN! There are over 20 stages for live concerts throughout the entire island in Budapest. Mainly live concerts running concurrently by popular bands and groups! This is a yearly event since 1993, and finally this year I get to experienced being here personally. These guys were really great sport (they posed for me;) so spontaneously) click on this photo to link to my Flickr and you’ll see lots of photos about SZIGET FESTIVAL. On the Main Stage, Manu Chao which is a french group, rocked the entire sziget (sziget also means island) until there were two ‘bursts’ of black out! You can imagine how crowded it was >>I was almost ”crushed” being at the front of the stage where their fans were (lots of French were there too). And since I am so small (Asian) where all the other guys and ladies were mostly Europeans/Americans….but still it was totally FUN!
Here’s video of the Japanese group called Gocoo which I took on Day ONE of the Sziget.

March 15th
Today is National Holiday in Hungary. We celebrate the anniversary of the Hungarian revolution and freedom fight which started in 1848 15th of March in Buda. It has been one of my favorite holiday with hussars (this word comes from the Hungarian huszár), horses and with the fresh wind of the spring.
I write this post on the 14th a bit before midnight. There is tension in the city. Nobody speak about the revolution in 1848, about Sándor Petőfi the young poet who stand up to the stairs of the National Museum performing his enthusiastic poem. The big quesion today… is if the rioters will be back, if we will be again the first on the NEWS tomorrow evening?………….
