Restaurant Review: Indulging In Hooters Budapest
- 22 Nov 2012 9:35 AM
- food & drink
This week a small group of guys – a couple of expats (our Hungarian wives said we could go) and a local bloke – checked-out the Hooters restaurant at Liszt Ferenc tér. We weren't quite sure what to expect, as it turned out we had a very decent time. The place was packed on Wednesday night with a mostly male crowd, mainly respectable looking chaps in their 30's and 40's, watching football on all ...

Ballett Performace: 'Complicated Balkan Wedding', Dance Theatre Budapest
- 29 Oct 2012 8:00 AM

The new production of Ballet Pécs was inspired by the music and lifestyle of the Balkans. The performance is characterized by its humour and Balkan passions.

Xpat Opinion: The Cooperation Of The Hungarian Opposition In Action
- 18 Oct 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Last night’s scandalous interview with three opposition personalities on ATV’s “Szabad szemmel” deserves a post even if it was only three days ago that I wrote an article entitled “Hungarian disunity a barrier to a political solution.”
Xpat Opinion: Will October 23rd Demonstrations Be A Showdown Between Pro- And Anti-Government Forces In Hungary?
- 16 Oct 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
A pro-government columnist argues that with former Prime Minister Bajnai on the stage, anti-government demonstrators may draw the crowds, but pure hatred does not equal a political alternative. A left-of-centre journalist celebrates an occasion on which anti-Fidesz forces start to coalesce around a single candidate.

Early last week, Minister of the Economy György Matolcsy announced as part of his adjustment package that the planned introduction of a “career path” for teachers, comprising an immediate 30 per cent pay raise, will be postponed by four months, from ...
Xpat Opinion: Hungary's MSZP’s Vision Of The Future: “The Left, Hope, And Strength”
- 4 Oct 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Now that MSZP’s leaked “working paper” has become available we have a better idea of what the party leaders have in mind as far as strategy is concerned. Although the MSZP politicians I heard speak about the document emphasized that naturally this is not the final word on the strategy the party will follow in the next year and a half, after reading the text I think it is fairly clear where the ...
Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Immigrants In Great Britain
- 27 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- community & culture
You may recall György Matolcsy’s infamous CNN interview in which he extolled the economic achievements of the Orbán government, which adopted his “unorthodox” policies. Matolcsy’s English is somewhat halting and while he was madly looking for words to describe the glorious Hungarian situation, he stumbled upon the phrase “fairy tale.” Well, the description of Hungary as a country that lives in ...
