2011 – Another Year Passed

We’re a couple of days into the new year now and I thought I’d put together a short (probably going to be long) photo/music year in review.

Yup, it got quite long so I split it into several pages, you’ll find the page links just under the title on all the pages as well as down at the bottom. Unfortunately it placed itself below all the sharing and related posts stuff down there; I wasn’t able to change it’s position, shouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience though.

New Years Eve

Crazy amounts of snow and cold as… was the keywords. I joined a couple of good friends out on the countryside for new years, and we had a really good evening.

Hungary… again

So I went down to Hungary again, as you probably figured out from the title, for about two weeks with four days in Budapest this time around. Man I like that city, it’s cheap, it’s beautiful and there’s plenty of things to do. I also visited Tokaj (any wine connoisseurs around), probably the coziest, most picturesque  little town I’ve ever visited. Then I got to see my first mountaintop castle ruin, at Regéc, in the north east part of Hungary. Good shit! I might add on to this, both photos and text, but for now I’ll just leave you with some pics I snapped while down there.

Hungary

Just got back from Hungary, 9 day holiday, I gotta say I loved it. I’ll be going back there first chance I get, especially to Budapest where I only got a day and a half this time around… vibrant city!

I lived in a small town called Földes, slap bang in the middle of Hajduk country (the county of Hajdú-Bihar) I mostly did the tourist stuff this time, visited the Puszta (the steppe or great plains) at Hortobágy, the thermal springs at Hajdúszoboszló, checked out Debrecen, Hungary’s second largest city and so on. First things that come to mind when thinking about the trip is hot, flat, inexpensive, good food and beautiful. Only downside I can think of is that hardly anyone speaks English (except in Budapest), but you pick up a couple of words here and there and pointing and gesturing works as it does everywhere :)

I did run into a fellow beatmaker in Debrecen tho, against all odds lol, Big Yeti, we didn’t have time to talk much since he was working and I was playing tourist, but next time I go down I’m hoping we can have a lil beat-session or two. And on another note, as an old graff-head, the styles down there was very good, I didn’t really expect that to be honest, I was impressed!

I managed to forget my camera most of the time, but here’s some of the few shots I took at least…

Köszönöm szepe, Magyarország!
(my Hungarian isn’t very good, but it should be something like that at least :)
