Xpat Opinion: Ukraine And Hungary: The Tymoshenko Affair
- 3 May 2012 10:30 AM
- current affairs
Viktor Yanukovych and Viktor Orbán have more in common than their first name. In February 2010, only a couple of months before Orbán's political triumph, Yanukovych staged a remarkable comeback, recovering from the humiliation and disgrace he suffered in Ukraine's election of 2004.

- 2 May 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
As I'm looking through my files it seems as if almost nothing has happened in Chinese-Hungarian relations in the last six months or so. It was in mid-November 2011 that Tamás Fellegi made his last trip to China where he negotiated with Chinese businessmen and bank presidents.

Walls, covered in heavyweight purple curtains seem to bring the dimly lit room’s parameters collapsing in as a huge computer screen’s wallpaper radiates the green glow of long hot summer.

- food & drink
"One of my favorite movies as a kid was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971). What child did not want to win the golden ticket? Who didn’t want to see the mysteries hidden behind the tall walls of the factory?
