Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Women And Politics
- 27 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Since we seem to be in the swing of things, why don’t we continue with the topic of women? This time women in politics. I’m sure that you’ve all heard complaints about the number of women in the Hungarian parliament. Alas, the numbers haven’t changed in any statistically significant way in the last twenty-two years. In the first freely elected parliament, out of 386 members of the House only 28 ...
Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Immigrants In Great Britain

- community & culture
You may recall György Matolcsy’s infamous CNN interview in which he extolled the economic achievements of the Orbán government, which adopted his “unorthodox” policies. Matolcsy’s English is somewhat halting and while he was madly looking for words to describe the glorious Hungarian situation, he stumbled upon the phrase “fairy tale.” Well, the description of Hungary as a country that lives in ...

Invitation: Nadja Massun's Exhibition At Hungarian House Of Photography
- 21 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- community & culture
I’ve heard that people from afar can say or claim whatever they want about themselves. Putting a little twist on the original saying, people can say whatever they want about a person that comes from afar. In case of Nadja Massun, the proverb may be even truer since she does come from very far she lives in Mexico but was born in Africa to a Hungarian mother and a Belgian father.
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.
Now On: Rippl-Rónai Exhibition, National Gallery Budapest
- 28 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
- community & culture
"The significance of the 80.000-piece graphic collection of the Hungarian National Gallery is a little-known fact, since the paper-based objects are very sensitive and cannot be part of the permanent exhibition. That is why the paintings and sculptures of the 20th century permanent exhibition are complemented with our graphic cabinets of a changing thematic concept twice a year.

Xpat Opinion: The Right & The Left On Hungarian Achievements In London
- 13 Aug 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
I managed to avoid commenting on the Olympics for two solid weeks, but perhaps I ought to say something about the games in general, the Hungarians’ performance in particular, and the political sparring between left and right over the Olympics and its significance. A couple of decades ago I was an avid follower of Olympic events but eventually I became disillusioned. I wasn’t sure any longer about ...
