A visit to the Parliament




Today we went to the Parliament because wanted to take some photo for our team. The weather was a bit depressing but I was happy because I always wanted to visit the Parliament. When we arrived we had to check in at the seventh gate where we got entry cards. We got a very kind tour guide who showed us the most exciting places in the Parliament, for example the main staircase, the dome hall where are the Holy Crown, the scepter, the sword and the orb can be seen. Then we visited the lounge in the southern wing and the Deputy Council Chamber where the MPs hold their meetings.

The tour took about 60 minutes and it was very exciting for me because I learned many things. :)

When rubbish really covers U...


Not far away from my home I noticed this house. For years it's been gradually filled with rubbish. Probably it's the neighbours' fault, they may throw their litter over the fence. But it comes back to them, beacause on sunny days they have to smell the stink of their own rubbish.

A homeless person turns up at the house from time to time and looks for things that can be useful for him.
This is really sad :(

Traffic jam problem


Yesterday we went to the cinema and fortunately I had my camera on me. Well, yeah... traffic jam. I think it's a serious problem for everybody.

Firstly, the 10-minute ride took 25 minutes and we missed the beginning of the film... Secondly, we could hardly breathe because of the exhaustion.  We should have used public transport, I guess. Yet, cars are more comfortable.

WAMP - Design Fair


On Sunday visited the WAMP .WAMP was founded in 2006 to bring the creator and the audience closer in the spirit of the daily practicable art, simultaneously to establish a forum for the best-priced, unique and timely pieces of fine workmanship.
The monthly organized WAMP design market outgrew itself to the most important cultural and design forum.
Goldsmithes, illustrators, textile-manufacturers, ceramists, glassware makers, recycling artists, toymakers and several notable salons are represented on the sale.
This atmosphere is something that was new in Budapest in the beginning, later on, as it got widely known, it became an event anticipated every month.
The goal of this initiative sponsoring today's Hungarian design ambitions is also to become the shaper of general taste using its limited means,
and to promote the image and marketing of Hungarian design artifacts.
It was very interesting, but we were dissapointed because we didn't have enough time to look around properly. It took place at the Gödör Club.
