Summer 2004

So lets try to get back to the original roots of this blog - getting up some of the photos that I like & could be presented.
Summer 2004 by the lake Balaton in Hungary. We arrived there at night in complete darkness, imagine our surprise in the morning when we saw these nice platforms. We just steared them with our mounths opened. Usually people have summer cottages, but here they have a summer platforms on the lake. All of them were numbered, I only missed the mailbox! ;)
An average owner of the platform came to the beach in the morning left slippers to the shore and walked with all the rest of the stuff to the platform where the whole day was spent.

Sunset time

Budapest, Sziget festival

This is my second time to be here at Sziget festival.
The place is good very good, but after a long vacation being tired of traveling it is hard to get to right mood.
Finally I succeeded :)
This year only one day at the festival.

23. Aug - Back to Budapest

I am getting tired of being on the way... have had just one more night in the train.
I am back in Budapest.
I had a nice chance to visit a friend from the first SC I have seen/organised SC2000 in Tallinn.

Then in the evening SC Budapest and nighlife. OZ party = participants were divided in groups and they had to perform one act. And then in pubs.

I guess I made also one friend among organisers, when steping into organisers room at night with an intention to go to sleep on the table and there is the girl with freshly found boyfriend from SC :) But I didn't mind :) She probably minded.

12. Aug - Budapest day 2

Second day in Sziget, yes I had to come back

This day begins with some super famous French group - it would have been good to understand some French there, as the words seemed to have important role. Anyway all the French in front of the stage understood, so they went mad.


The Brand New Heavies (UK). They are late, but I want to hear them - cause, as I am sure, they cannot do anything else than some good old Britt pop. First song... hmmm... - this band if far from Britt pop - usually I can listen this kind of music when going to a club. Anyway it is acceptable, especially when they play the song I know: Revolution. Then I left, just afterwards heard, that they have a song which is more famous than Revolution.

Then 90 degree turn and Hammer Rock Stage with 69Eyes from Finland. This is hard, it has been long since the last time jumped with smth like this :)

Next year I have to be back here and then for a longer period. It is just so amazing how you can be all the time lost on the island... new stages, new music.

11.Aug - Budapest

Last coffee in Poland



Sun and rain together, the colours were just amazing

The morning found me in the Keleti train station in Budapest.

What to do?! My host arrives to Budapest in the evening... what what what?!

Walk to the river Danube... from train station it takes around 2h.
But it is worth, to sit in the park by the river and enjoy boats passing by.

When the infrastructure of the city was planned then there was made a small mistake: at Best side there is river, then a street with high traffic and then a park. This steet with traffic unfortuantely cuts away the riverside from midday wonderers in the park.

Well, to meet a BESTie is always good, especially when bored of being alone... so at one moment guess what, Szilard from LBG Vezprem is there waiting for a girl from French LBG. To show her around in Budapest.
So this is how it goes: it is still not more than 2 o'clock afternoon and we are in underground pubs of Budapest getting drunk and discovering places that are even hard to imagine - big halls, walls full of graffit, bar table somewhere in dark corner, furniture collected from the streets, birds flying around...

Sziget - the music festival on the island in Budapest
Well here I got to know where I will be in August 2006 - on the sziget (Engl: island) here in Budapest.
Tents everywhere, many with music - inviting people to dance, to get high, to find new. And then smaller tents where people will collaps, when they are dead tired. After all, the event is 7 days and nights long... at some moments it is nececary to close eyes.
Music: rock, metal, hip-hop, techno, religious and so on so on, if tired then just go to circus or crash in a cinema tent to relax with movies you can understand or not, depends of our Hungerian.
