Xpat Opinion: Hidden Budapest: Gasworks Part 2
- 18 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- getting around
From the bike (or car) road to the right of Auchan (Jegtoro u.) just before the intersection with the Infopark, one can see buildings that, from afar, seem to be in the same style of those I discovered a few weeks ago further down the road as part of the old Obuda Gasworks Residential Estate. On my way back from my bike ride yesterday I explored the area, and was correct.
Xpat Opinion: Obuda Gas Factory - A Cool Place To Explore
- 29 Aug 2012 9:04 AM
- getting around
I have been cycling up to Romai Part and Szentendre for years, and have always loved the four water and coal-clock towers at the old gas works. Luckily they have managed to survive (so far) the reconstruction of the old chemical works as an industrial park. In 1908 a municipal decision was made to replace several obsolete gas factories with a single new facility.
Xpat Opinion: A Few Days In Balatonakarattya

- getting around
By Treehugger Dan: My weekend plans getting cancelled turned out for the best, as Chris and Nora invited me down to Balaton for a couple days. The family summer cottage has a fantastic view of Balaton. Built in 1969 before Markovecz was well-known, the layout is unusual in its family-centered design, and nothing at all like his later environmental designs incorporating living trees into the ...

Xpat Opinion: Why I Hate The Poosta Ramblers By Treehugger Dan
- 5 Jul 2012 10:50 AM
- entertainment
I hate the Poosta Ramblers because they are so damned good that I do not want to risk going to the toilet and missing anything. It becomes painful, but it is all for a good cause. Saturday's concert at Gondozo was no different. Following the departure from Budapest of Sugar Rae Hammond, Fiona Stewart stepped in with some lead vocals and her fiddle.
Cycle Cops Now In Budapest, Boo-bies Coming Soon

- getting around
A team of 40 police officers started a bicycle patrol operation in the capital as of yesterday. Allegedly police have been told people on bikes do sometimes have a 'strong drink' or two, but unless they look unstable peddlers shouldn’t be fined - however caution is strongly advised in that regard. This comes along with the news that Budapest plans to offer a public bike-sharing system named bubi ...
