Guest Blog By British Chargé d’affaires Theresa Bubbear: Sziget – Day 3
- 10 Aug 2012 12:00 PM
- entertainment
Today I spent my third and final day at the Sziget Festival for this year.

And Team GB remains third in the Olympic medals table. I am now passing the baton to three of the younger generation for the weekend.

Top 10 Kids’ Birthday Parties In Budapest, Part II
- 8 Mar 2012 8:01 AM
- entertainment
"As promised, here are two more ideas for kids’ birthday party venues. Did I mention I once (that’s right, once) made the mistake of having one at home? If you’ve done that and not gone bonkers, then hats off to you. Our problem was, it was winter, and ALL the kids came who were invited (15 plus several siblings). Crowd behavior took over - I couldn’t get them to play the games I had planned.
