Xpat Opinion: Humanity Delivers To Budapest
- 8 Sep 2015 5:30 AM
- community & culture
By Liz Frommer: What an incredible difference. Keleti station seemed largely vacant as we first entered the initial passageway.

- community & culture
By Liz Frommer: Over 2,000 immigrants packed Budapest's Keleti railway station this past Sunday night, a stark reminder of Europe's current immigration debacle. Mostly hidden under the main square, the juxtaposition of the hundreds of families stranded in tents, hungry and worn, with the luminous facade of Keleti's 19th century station was eerie.

Xpat Opinion: Hungarian Media Scene Is Still In Flux
- 6 Aug 2015 8:58 AM
- business
Although the Hungarian government’s only concern of late seems to be how to keep asylum seekers out of the country, I don’t want to succumb to the same tunnel vision.
