Guest blog by Foreign Policy, Justice and Home Affairs and Human Rights Attaché Levente Nyitrai: As a young kid I used to not understand that saying. Every Christmas I was eagerly waiting for the chance to attack the nicely wrapped presents under the tree. The moments on Christmas Eve when we entered the until then closed room and started singing Christmas carols before opening them seemed ages.

British Foreign Secretary, William Hague, visited Budapest on 4 October. He was here for a short time – just 5 working hours.

And the trip went very smoothly.

Although travelling around London for someone not speaking the language may seem a bit ...
Guest Blog By British Chargé d’affaires Theresa Bubbear: Sziget – Day 3
- 10 Aug 2012 12:00 PM
- entertainment
Today I spent my third and final day at the Sziget Festival for this year. It was, unsurprisingly, a day of threes – third speech in Hungarian, policemen from three countries, three unexpected faces on Hungarian banknotes, and a meeting with three organisations. And Team GB remains third in the Olympic medals table. I am now passing the baton to three of the younger generation for the weekend.
