Budapest bits: Saturday mornings on the Szena ter market
http://bluepeaks.blogspot.com/2009/02/saturday-morning-on-szena-ter-market.html
The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Sunday, February 8, 2009. Saturday mornings on the Szena ter market. Saturday morning is a time for pancakes. I used to make them at home but it would eat a big chunk of our morning that we would prefer to dedicate to something more active. Then we discovered the palacsinta. Place on the first floor of the Szena ter market and became regulars. Their pancakes are fantastic, with a generous amount of filling, and also cheap. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Budapest bits: February 2011

The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Monday, February 21, 2011. Even trivial things so used and tried. Today I was fully under the spell of Andrey Tarkovsky's Mirror. A month ago I had the urge of watching quality Russian cinema again and we started by Mirror and what a good choice. Today I have been thinking that a long take shows a bigger respect to the viewers, there is less trickery in a way. Long takes slow down time and free space for thinking. Dealing with time in this movie is phenomenal...

The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Friday, April 8, 2011. Balconies: best of both worlds. Balconies have always fascinated me. I realise that wherever I go dozens of the pictures are from balconies. It's good watching balconies but also being on balconies. I got the taste for sipping wine or beer in fresh air especially after spending hundreds of hours on the one below, the beloved Tulipan street, 16 in Budapest. View from Balcony on Tulipan street, 16 (Budapest). The balconies below are on th...

Budapest bits: The Art of Naming
http://bluepeaks.blogspot.com/2011/11/art-of-naming.html
The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. The Art of Naming. I have always liked noting the names of boats and yachts Recently I had the chance to visit Zanzibar. Interestingly this guy did not name his boat after his beloved but after the degree of feeling to her - too much. Too much love will kill you. The names of the dictators. Little Ivo in Jelsa. Enjoyed this post. That first boat name reminded me of the lyrics, and sometimes when we touch, the honestys too muc...

Budapest bits: November 2010

The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Friday, November 26, 2010. Grey Economy of Ourselves. I think Nietzsche got it right: we are afraid of ourselves and the emptiness that lack of haste and full occupation could possibly reveal. Life is easy when we are busy, we have a reference point, a business card, a story to tell. We also have deadlines, direction, schedules, pressure. Where are we? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Budapest bits: May 2011
http://bluepeaks.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Last Sunday I was lying on the ground in the local park. The grass was slightly wet from the short rain but pleasantly warm from the scorching sun. Boris was making frantic circles with his new blue bike, immensely proud that he had just biked with me on the street, giving priority, taking priority, careful when there is a 'Stop', keeping a straight line, giving a hand sign when turning. I remembered different taps from the past and how...

Budapest bits: August 2010

The Balkans meet the Austro-Hungarian empire. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. The first weekend in Geneva was spent exploring the Swiss side of the Geneva lake. The guidebook was full of praise for Lavoix, a wine region between Lausanne and Montreax, so we took the train to Cully and started from there. I could not pass up an opportunity to take a photo of some boats. When you see them like this in a small marina, you could be forgiven for thinking you are somewhere by the sea. Tuesday, August 17, 2010. In the...
