The Capital With The Eye Of An Expat: Buffalo Reservation
- 3 Nov 2016 3:40 AM
- getting around
By Mary Murphy: One of the many joys of living in Budapest is the huge amount of activity. There’s always something going on. Places to visit. Exhibitions to see. Concerts to attend. So much so that there is a danger that life in Hungary revolves around the capital and we don’t take or make the time to venture further afield.
Hungarian State Folk Ensemble - House of Tradition: Stag Song, Palace Of Arts, 3 November
- 2 Nov 2016 8:06 AM
- community & culture
The stag is an ancient and universal symbol in cultural history - and its discarded and regrown antlers have come to represent eternal renewal. It stands at the entrance to the golden path, bidding us follow into our own spiritual world. The stag is at once a demon, a shaman, a wizard, a fairy or king of the dead, capable of drawing those who hunt it into a new and different world.

Fungarian: Why Is Halloween Strange For Hungarians?
- 30 Oct 2016 8:10 AM
- community & culture
November 1st is national holiday. According to the Catholic calendar, it’s All Saints’ Day – but Hungarians call it Day of the Dead (Halottak napja), when traditionally it’s a family obligation to tend the graves of their closest relatives.
Lit by thousands of candles, the cemeteries are a melancholic and beautiful sight on this day. The most common flower of the season people put on the graves ...
Xpat Opinion: Russian Military Intelligence And The Hungarian National Front
- 29 Oct 2016 9:00 AM
- current affairs
I’d wager to say that not too many people are familiar with a far-right paramilitary organization called Magyar Nemzeti Arcvonal (Hungarian National Front or MNA), although it is perhaps the most important group of its kind today. It espouses the tenets of Hungarism, the brainchild of Ferenc Szálasi, leader of the Arrowcross party which, in the late 1930s, had, for a short while, one million ...
Émile: A Culinary Gem In The Buda Hills
- 28 Oct 2016 12:55 PM
- food & drink
I’ve passed this Buda villa several times, and was intrigued to find out what it was like inside as I'd asked friends and no-one I knew had visited. So recently, rather than go to one of my usual haunts, I ventured over to leafy Buda - and was definitely not disappointed to make the trip across the river. Set in the leafy 2nd district, it felt like being in South Kensington at a place exuding an ...
