Xpat Opinion: Szimplakert Haztaji Piac (Szimplakert Croft Market) Revisited
- 14 Sep 2012 12:00 PM
- shopping
Having a free Sunday morning on my hands, a friend and I visited the Szimplakert Haztaji Market. The great ambiance was still there. Almost every seller had samples out to try, whether it be szorp, jam, baked goods, spreads or cheese. All the sellers were friendly, chatty, and proud of their products.

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. However, during the day it is a much different and mellow place to hang out. They recently started a croft or market garden on Sundays. There is another one popping up at Margit u. off of Margit Krt. This was set ...
Xpat Opinion: Obuda Gas Factory - A Cool Place To Explore
- 29 Aug 2012 9:04 AM
- getting around
I have been cycling up to Romai Part and Szentendre for years, and have always loved the four water and coal-clock towers at the old gas works. Luckily they have managed to survive (so far) the reconstruction of the old chemical works as an industrial park. In 1908 a municipal decision was made to replace several obsolete gas factories with a single new facility.
Xpat Opinion: A Few Days In Balatonakarattya
- 23 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
- getting around
By Treehugger Dan: My weekend plans getting cancelled turned out for the best, as Chris and Nora invited me down to Balaton for a couple days. The family summer cottage has a fantastic view of Balaton. Built in 1969 before Markovecz was well-known, the layout is unusual in its family-centered design, and nothing at all like his later environmental designs incorporating living trees into the ...
Xpat Opinion: Romai At Night - By Treehugger Dan
- 14 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
- getting around
Last Friday a friend and I went cycling at night to Romai part. I normally go early in the morning, but it was really lovely at night. We got a bit re-routed through the Sziget Festival crowds around the Filatorigat HEV stop (which gets its name from an 18th century threat factory at the location), but it was not a real problem.
Xpat Opinion: 2 Weekends At Balatonalmadi in Hungary

by Trehhuger Dan: Akos and Nori were kind enough to invite me down again to Balaton for the weekend. I have been waiting all year for the seasonal opening of the langos place at the old Budatava Beach in Balatonalmadi. Laliba's langos is the best at Balaton, and second best in Hungary only to the Hunyadi ter langos. We are now recognised as regulars and get special service, not having to wait in ...
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.
