Xpat Opinion: Yet Another Lunacy: Law On Teaching Foreign Languages In Hungary
- 15 Dec 2013 8:00 AM
- current affairs
The other day I happened upon a very funny 10-minute video. In Hungary bakers must put a big, ugly paper sticker on every loaf of bread before it goes into the oven. But only bread; other baked goods don’t have to have the sticker. So, a journalist wanted to know why the distinction between bread and, let’s say, brioche. No one the journalist asked could give an answer. People in the industry ...

Xpat Opinion: Best Flea Market In Budapest
- 11 Sep 2012 9:00 AM
- shopping
There are two major flea markets in Budapest – one is a fair car ride in the south of Budapest, a sprawling, ramshackle bazaar you may know is called Ecseri. The other is a good deal smaller, held in the city park at weekends.
