1001 Albums #1

When I started looking at the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die I realised that there are so many albums I have never heard of and so many albums that I have no interest in listening to at all. And I thought I have loved music all my life, but I have […]

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

I used to write a lot before I moved to the USA five years ago. I suffered from a deep depression that has never left my side and it is partly due to PTSD and the rest is none of your business. No, I was not a soldier in a war, unless you consider my […]

Smoking in France

i noticed something here that i had not noticed in the Hungarians, but know to be true of them as well; the French people smoke a lot. It is a bit strange since the government seems to be against it and they have banned smoking indoors, but you can smoke in the tram stops and […]

Hollywood Rethreads, Reboots, Rehashed and Refurbished Series

Hollywood is out of ideas so they reuse old series in hopes of getting the original audience and the younger generation who never heard of it to check it out. There have been quite a few old series returns in the last couple of years and this year is not any different. We have Magnum […]

Television Fails in Fall 2018

Spring is a close second to Autumn as my favourite time of the year. I love Autumn more because television rolls out all the new series. For me as a child, it was like what other children felt at Christmas, but I never felt that joy at Christmas time. I feel hopeful that what I am […]

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 […]

20th of August

The 20th of August is celebrated as a public holiday in Hungary commemorating the foundation of the state. Throughout the country there are many activities the Hungarians can enjoy, but Debrecen probably has the most famous of the celebrations. In Debrecen they have a Flower Carnival. In the morning the people can enjoy floats which […]

After Aggteleki Nemzeti Park

Yesterday i mentioned that a visit to Aggteleki Nemzeti Park could be a two-day trip and that there is a village just below the caves, so today i will show you the other places to see on your journey. After you exit the cave you will more than likely be hungry. Of course, you could […]

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. […]

Two New Comedies?

God Friended Me I was watching a new series online at cbs.com and I thought it was so bad that I had to write about. CBS new series, God Friended Me does not offer anything new. If you have seen Highway to Heaven, Touched by Angel (to a lesser degree) Joan Of Arcadiaor last season’s Kevin […]
