Xpat Opinion: Budapest Chinese Market Closing?
- 20 Sep 2012 1:03 AM
- shopping
2014 Update: It was closed down. Hungary is not the most multicultural nation on the planet. 95% Magyar, 2% Roma, and the rest of us. Around 100,000 Chinese live in Hungary, and Budapest has its own Chinatown, well, a sprawling China-shanty-town. It's a real oddity, and if not the most immediate of local attractions, it is a side of the city that's bafflingly interesting, in a grimy kind of way. ...

- 11 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- shopping
There are two major flea markets in Budapest – one is a fair car ride in the south of Budapest, a sprawling, ramshackle bazaar you may know is called Ecseri. The other is a good deal smaller, held in the city park at weekends. For my money, this is a more sensible, manageable alternative; it's perfectly possible to roll out of bed, onto public transport, through Városliget and right up to the ...
Xpat Opinion: A Sinking Ship? Is It Time For Orbán’s Hungary To Turn Westward?
- 6 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Just as I feared, we will have to return to Azerbaijan, not so much as a diplomatic issue but as a part of the financial plans that may have been behind the decision to release a convicted murderer to Baku.
