Hungary, The State Of The Left-Wing Alliance Tango
- 12 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
More than the polling results of individual opposition parties, the question of whether a comprehensive left-wing alliance can be formed has emerged as the crucial issue in terms of evaluating the potential for a government change in 2014. It is still unclear whether the combined support of the left-wing parties would be enough to defeat Fidesz. What appears clear, however, is that none of the ...
Xpat Opinion: Szimplakert Haztaji Piac (Szimplakert Croft Market) In Budapest
- 5 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- shopping
Sunday morning Lydia and I explored the newish Szimplakert Haztaji Piac (open Sunday 9-14, Kazinczy u. 14, VII ker). I cannot stand the crowds at night at Szimpla, so I tend to avoid it.

This was set ...

- 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. Two years ago, after many weather postponements, the event was cancelled. Last year I had to pull out with 3 slipped disks. In what must be a first, the event this year went off without a hitch the first try, thus ...
Xpat Opinion: Best Child-Friendly Restaurants & Cafes In Budapest
- 28 Jun 2012 9:00 AM
- food & drink
By Andi Lustak: The non-smoking ban in Hungary finally came into effect in January in all restaurants and bars and it has already made a huge difference with most establishments complying with the law. From April restaurants who don’t comply can get fined up to 1 million HUF. This is great and gave me the chance to move away from just focusing on finding the best non-smoking places and instead ...
