23 Dishes

Day 49: 23 – “Write 23 food products that you like.” I like a lot of food. I think it would be easier to write about my top ten least favourite foods. But I do write a list of 23 so I can finish this day. It has been a busy day for me. sushi […]

#1043 The National – High Violet

The National‘s fifth album High Violet was released in 2010 to critical acclaim. I remember listening to them in Hungary. I have not listened to them in years. It will be interesting to hear them again. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since its release and 7 years since I left […]

1001 Albums #71

Congratulations Simon & Garfunkel! Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme has got to be in the top ten worst names for an album title. You did it! Stop trying to make Rosemary a thing. People do not like it. But maybe they will like the album. “Scarborough Fair/Canticle” the lead track is not an original song […]

Not About Music

I do my greatest thinking in the shower. I should just live in the shower. Maybe I can install a device to take down all my great ideas and make the world a better place. Earlier today, I noticed someone on Instagram had written me a comment. It was someone who I had a lot […]

Vámház körúti Vásárcsarnok

My favourite place to shop in Budapest is Vámház körúti Vásárcsarnok, although i love all the markets (piac) in Hungary. The prices are great, probably not as cheap as the major chains, but the produce is a hell of lot fresher than Tesco. U.S. does not have these kinds of markets in every neighbourhood, which […]

Aggteleki Nemzeti Park

If you ever find yourself in Hungary and want to get out of the filth of Budapest for a couple of days, then i would recommend Aggteleki Nemzeti Park. It was founded in 1985. It contains 198.92 km² (of which 39.22 km² are under increased protection). It has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1995. […]

Jelly Cafe

Arriving safely to Denver Airport was a happy moment, but my friend Nick took me to a place i have wanted to visit for a long time in Denver, Jelly Cafe. They have the best holes there. Their holes are filled with wonderful flavours, flavours that explode in your mouth. i had two favorites, […]

One Year

i forgot to mention that i have had this blog over a year now. Thank you to all those that have followed my adventures, even to those that think my blog is boring and especially to my best friend. i will miss you until my last breath. You inspired me. A year of my life […]

Friends

The best moments in life, at least for me, are the ones that i share with great friends. i am a bit sentimental, or perhaps i am just mental, but i love my friends, my true friends and i miss them when i cannot see them or talk to them for long periods of time. […]

A Week In Debrecen

Debrecen is the second largest city in Hungary. i affectionately call it “a big village” because on any given day i could see a tractor riding down one of the streets, the same streets where a little old lady would carry a basket of baby chicks and the same streets that the one tram crossed […]
