Meanwhile using the computer for creative things like painting and making music instead of gaming. 2006 a great decision brought Adam to Budapest which is actually the city of his roots, both of his parents are born there. Since 2006 until today, Adam is working for the same multinational IT Company as UNIX/Storage Administrator.

The business language is german and english. Since 2009 he also opened his own music recording studio called "Budabeat".

1. When did you arrive in Hungary and what brought you here?
In July 2006 I knew that I will lose my job as Software Tester in Munich, Germany and I was willing to gain a little bit working experience in another country than germany, where I was born. So I applied in Munich, but also in Budapest, since I was a little capable of the language and also got some relatives living here. After one week I got 2 negative answers from munich and 3 positive from Budapest. So 1 week later i was travelling to Budapest and had 3 interviews. Just 3 days later I had the fantastic job as UNIX Administrator in, that I was always looking for. So in October 2006 I moved here and from November I started my job, at which I often have to go home to Munich, because I have some colleagues over there.

4. Friends are in Budapest for a weekend - what must they absolutely see and do?
