“Expat Love & Apartment-Theatre” At PLACCC Festival In Budapest
- 27 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
- entertainment
What do get when an Italian actor and a Dutch sound designer come together? Chaos! ;) This is Malu who is Dutch and David who is Italian. They are in love. They are living in a city they know nothing about. They are living together for the first time since knowing each other. And have around 30 people visiting them every day. It is like a walk in-walk out ‘Big Brother’ show.

Central Europe’s Longest Pedestrian Bridge Opens In Szolnok, Hungary
- 26 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
- getting around
Central Europe’s longest (444m) pedestrian and cyclist bridge has been opened in the Eastern Hungarian city of Szolnok, marking a shift in priorities: instead of building yet another car-bridge the decision was made to create a crossing entirely dedicated to "soft" mobility (such as walking and cycling) – significantly improving the short-distance mobility situation and the social, cultural and ...
Getaway From Budapest To Baku With Wizz Air
- 25 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
- specials
Set between Europe and Asia, Baku, the capital of energy-rich Azerbaijan, is enjoying an economic and architectural boom not unlike that of the oil rush a century ago. Three vast towers fashioned in tapering flames, a handful of new five-star hotels, a carpet museum designed to resemble a rolled-up rug, these are only some of the flagship projects currently being unfurled beside the Caspian Sea.
Now On: Erik Mátrai: Landscape, Műcsarnok Budapest
- 23 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
- community & culture
Erik Mátrai’s installation entitled Landscape was designed specifically for M0, the new project space of Műcsarnok/Kunsthalle Budapest. Over almost the entire area of the former assembly hall – with its historicist character and stuccoed, vaulted ceiling – a golden liquid swirls and flows down the four-metre high walls. The sounds of the water and the yellow light fill and dominate the exhibition ...

Malu is Dutch. David is Italian. They are in love. They’re going to live in a city they know nothing about. How can they be happy in Budapest? Where and how will they live? Especially with the Hungarians. These questions will be answered between 24 and 27 September, when the young couple opens their house for four days to anyone, anytime. The exciting apartment-theatre performance can be seen at ...

Xpat Opinion: Human Rights Watch: Getting It Wrong…Again
- 22 Sep 2013 9:00 AM
- current affairs
The recent Human Rights Watch dispatch, Hungary: Constitutional Changes Fall Short, shows that sometimes it’s just not worth the effort. Some writers simply have another agenda. They approach the topic with such prejudice that they are incapable of handling facts that don’t fit their narrative.
Xpat Opinion: The “Ethics” Of A Car Accident In Hungary
- 21 Sep 2013 1:00 AM
- current affairs
Today’s topic, a car accident, is not the usual fare of this blog. Admittedly, one of the people injured in the accident was the Hungarian minister of defense, Csaba Hende, but that wouldn’t be sufficient reason to blog about it. (Fortunately no one died and the minister’s Audi wasn’t even a total loss.) I decided to write about it because I think it reveals more about Hungary and Hungarians than ...
