Xpat Opinion: The Right & The Left On Hungarian Achievements In London
- 13 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
I managed to avoid commenting on the Olympics for two solid weeks, but perhaps I ought to say something about the games in general, the Hungarians’ performance in particular, and the political sparring between left and right over the Olympics and its significance. A couple of decades ago I was an avid follower of Olympic events but eventually I became disillusioned. I wasn’t sure any longer about ...

Xpat Opinion: Why Is Hungary's Lake Balaton Still Popular?
- 12 Jul 2012 12:55 PM
- getting around
In Hungary summer isn't complete without a trip to Lake Balaton. The beaches come alive as soon as the weather gets warm and people from all over the country flock here to enjoy the ‘Hungarian Sea’. Lake Balaton is the largest and one of the shallowest lakes in Europe. It’s a favorite holiday destination with many resort areas to choose from, although it seems like most people have one beloved ...
Xpat Opinion: By Treehugger Dan: Balaton Swim 2012
- 10 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
After doing my first Balaton Swim with Kevin Jackson 3 years ago for charity (raising money for the Hungarian Fair Trade Campaign), I have impatiently been waiting to do a second.

In what must be a first, the event this year went off without a hitch the first try, thus ...

Chris, Nora and Gabi came down to the house this weekend. It was chill-out time for them, while I also had to try to deal with the large snake I almost stepped on three weeks ago in the stables. In the morning I whipped up a batch of my famous blueberry pancakes. A friendly expert from Aggtelek National Park came around noon and looked for signs, but did not find anything.

"Only this morning I heard a short interview with one of the political scientists of Méltányosság Intézet. “Méltányosság” can be translated as fairness, fair-mindedness, or even impartiality. In any case, this particular associate of the institute was studying the seemingly entrenched inability of Hungarians to conduct civilized and rational dialogue with people who hold opposing views. Not only ...
