In five years’ time Sólyom will be among Hungary’s ten top companies, says József Vágó in an optimistic tone. The landing of their first plane in Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport was a historic moment for the CEO of Sólyom Hungarian Airways.
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 ...
Xpat Opinion: The Factious Hungarian Opposition
- 11 Sep 2013 1:00 AM
- current affairs
Yesterday by 11 a.m. it became clear that there was no chance of an electoral alliance between the socialists and the representatives of the Demokratikus Koalíció. Perhaps there never was because, although Attila Mesterházy only a few hours before this final meeting gave a 50-50 chance of reaching an understanding, I suspect that the decision had already been reached to reject the DK proposals.

Find Your Best Second Hand Shop In Budapest

- shopping
This week I visited the Humana second hand shop on Szent István boulevard, between Jászai Mari square and Nyugati railway station. I’ve heard a lot about this one, so I decided to give it a go. You can spot it from quite the distance, thanks to its yellow signs. The shop window gave a promising look, so I’ve entered with high hopes and immediate disappointment followed.
Xpat Opinion: Former Hungarian PM's Officials Convicted Of Espionage

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 ...
Escape From Budapest To Samui: Bhundhari Spa Resort & Villas
- 22 Jun 2013 8:00 AM
- travel
This luxury resort is a unique blend of classic Thai architecture and hospitality, smart design and contemporary elegance. As part of a warm welcome, full of smiles, I was informed Bhundhari means lotus or water-lily in Sanskrit. It’s the spiritual flower of Buddhism, and like a lotus flower the hotels’ holistic beauty lifts the spirits and provides positive inspiration. The resort is idyllically ...
