The phenomena of 'ruin pubs' took hold of the Budapest nightlife scene a few years back. Today, many of the best placed to hang-out in the Hungarian capital feature psychedelic interiors, worn-out furniture, and groups of hipsters. The best of this bunch manage to create a special kind of charm, very unique to Budapest. As not all are as well known as Szimpla Kert and Instant, here's virtual look ...

According to one of the definitions, a “show trial” is “a public trial of a political offender conducted chiefly for propagandistic purposes.” In Hungarian there is a similar word for a show trial, “kirakatper” (kirakat = shop window), but more often than not it is called “koncepciós per,” which in my opinion better describes the nature of such trials. The accusers strive during the investigation ...

I'm 37 and was brought up in Glasgow, Scotland where after finishing school I made my way into deepest darkest Central Europe as an 18 year-old to teach English in Transylvania for a year.
