National Theatre in Budapest, Nemzeti Szinhaz is at Róth Miksa Street, right next to the River Danube. Congratulations to Antoine who correctly answered yesterday’s quiz about Zoltán Latinovics on the left of the Curtain Sculpture which serves as the entrance to the sculpture garden.
We celebrated the New Year’s Eve together with our invited friends at our home in a cosy mood. It was rather special as I have never celebrated it this way. In Hungary, the New Year’s Eve day 31st December is the name day for ‘Szilveszter‘. In case you are wondering just like me at first, that is why. Have a wonderful new year!

Yesterday finally we had the opportunity to participate in a Beyond Budapest tour in the VIIIth district of Budapest. There we met this gypsy man Kálmán Kis who is a musician. Besides visiting the Parliament Building, Buda Castle and all the touristic spots of Budapest we highly recommend you to contact the Beyond Budapest team!

We start a new column on the Budapestdailyphoto blog. Its called the People of Budapest. A city is not only about it’s buildings and sculptures but also about it’s people. Every time we make a short interview with someone who lives/studies/works in Budapest.
The first brave person who agreed to be introduced is my friend Eszter!:)
Since when are you living in Budapest?
Since 1988.
Where do you live within the city?
At the Rózsák square (VIIth district), before that I used to live in Újpest, in Káposztásmegyer.
What do you do?
I work as a waitress but what I like is psychology. I study psychology.
Which are your three favorite places in Budapest? (it can be a public place, a café, pub, park, memorial anything…the first three places coming to your mind)
Since I have been working in a pub I do not really have a favorite place but lately I visit often the place called Instant. The Instant is a ruin-pub in Budapest, and I think it is the most enjoyable one among them. Recently I started to like to go there because of the nice experiences I had there with my friends. The music is after my taste. I also like the café Mai Manó which has the best atmosphere in Budapest. I also love to sit at the Rózsák square in the yard of the church. That churchyard is a very relaxing place, I can listen to myself there.
