Uniquely Hungary: Budaörs's Redeeming Features, By Anne Zwack

- getting around
Budaörs is not a very charismatic place. We usually drive through it with blinkers on our way to Ikea. And yet it has a very ancient history, going back to the Bronze Age 3.500 years ago. Since then it was occupied by the Celts and the Romans and, at the beginning of the 1800’s, it was repopulated by what Wikipedia quaintly calls Schwabian peasants.

- shopping
You haven’t been in Hungary twenty four hours before you have discovered Matyó. Matyó is a style of embroidery which has existed in Hungary for over 200 years and it is sold all over Budapest in souvenir shops on the Castle Hill and all over the centre of the city. Matyó emanates from a little triangle of villages 140 kilometres from Budapest on the way to Miskolc, in Mezőkövesd, Tard and ...
Uniquely Hungary: Delighted To See Ludwig Go Pop In Budapest, By Anne Zwack
- 21 Oct 2015 9:04 AM
- community & culture
Until I came to this sensational exhibition at the Ludwig Museum I didn’t know I liked Pop Art. Basically I only knew Warhol’s Campbell Soup and Lichtenstein’s comic strips which are here as well, but I was unprepared for the arresting impact of this huge collection of art works whose artistic quality, it seems to me, outweighs what they call in marketing meetings here the “Vow Effect”.

The agency maintained the country’s rating with stable outlook. In the analysis accompanying the decision, S&P stressed that that Hungarian labour force was well educated and competitive, and the export structure was balanced.

Uniquely Hungary: Fish Among Other Things, By Anne Zwack
- 17 Sep 2015 4:38 AM
- food & drink
I think the one thing most expats miss in Hungary is the sea, and perhaps not only the expats. Driving into the country the other day I saw on the one billboard blank of ads and propaganda someone had written: Now that we have a Mediterranean climate couldn’t we have a sea as well?
Uniquely Hungary: Retro Coffee Houses, Bars & 'Cukraszdas' In Budapest
- 10 Sep 2015 1:22 AM
- food & drink
By Anne Zwack: Budapest has evolved so much over the last 25 years as to make many of its features almost unrecognizable and few coffee houses from the previous eras have lived to tell the tale. There is, of course, Gerbeaud while Ruszwurm on the Castle Hill has remained almost exactly the same as it was when my husband was taken there eighty years ago as a treat if he got a good report at school.
