Xpat Opinion: Babysitting Trip To Elevenpark Budapest
- 6 Feb 2013 8:00 AM
- entertainment
Last weekend I had the pleasure to help babysit 4 year old Bogyo. As expected, she likes everything pink, including Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake, but especially, especially My Little Pony. Since then, I have learned through Wired Magazine that there is a subculture of adult male computer geeks called 'Bronies' that love the My Little Pony cartoon, and find deep philosophical meanings in it.

Budapest has some great places for a skate, all with skate rental, lessons, opportunities to rent rinks for parties, and a good time to be had by all.

Xpat Report: 2012 Summer Olympics
- 25 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
With the Summer Olympics in London almost upon us, I have been trying to remember anything from past events. I would like to think that the first Olympics I remember was 1972 when swimmer Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals. However, I am probably confabulating this since I was about 5 years old and do not remember anything about the tragedy in Munich. Olga Korbut, who my dad had a massive crush on, ...
