Xpat Report: 2012 Summer Olympics
- 25 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
With the Summer Olympics in London almost upon us, I have been trying to remember anything from past events. I would like to think that the first Olympics I remember was 1972 when swimmer Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals. However, I am probably confabulating this since I was about 5 years old and do not remember anything about the tragedy in Munich. Olga Korbut, who my dad had a massive crush on, ...
Xpat Opinion: Best Ice Cream In Budapest - By Treehugger Dan
- 11 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- food & drink
If you are American, you probably also miss the hell out of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. But I found a great ice cream place recently. There is a little hole-in-the-wall place called Fragola at Nagymezo u. 7 past the Radnoti Theater and next to a fruit and veg stand that has the best ice cream I have ever had in Budapest.
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. 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 ...

It is still such a rarity to have positive retail and service experiences in Hungary, so when such an event does occur, it is notable enough to blog about it.
Xpat Opinion: Why I Hate The Poosta Ramblers By Treehugger Dan
- 5 Jul 2012 10:50 AM
- entertainment
I hate the Poosta Ramblers because they are so damned good that I do not want to risk going to the toilet and missing anything. It becomes painful, but it is all for a good cause. Saturday's concert at Gondozo was no different. Following the departure from Budapest of Sugar Rae Hammond, Fiona Stewart stepped in with some lead vocals and her fiddle.
Xpat Opinion: Pizza - The Only Time Topless Isn't Fun
- 5 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- food & drink
By Treehugger Dan: I wish I could recommend some great pizza in Budapest, but I have yet to encounter one. Il Treno used to have a good garlicy sauce on theirs, as did Via Luna, but it has been many years since I have been to either of these restaurants. New York Pizza's pizza is also good (everything else on their menu I have tried is great, especially their lunch menu). Any suggestions?
A Weekend In Borsod County By Treehugger Dan
- 4 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- getting around
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.
