My zillionth time in Budapest!

Sometimes it happens and you are lucky enough to find your soulmates. And last week I was the happiest as I had a chance to spend few days with these two girls in my almost favorite city in the world. Well, Budapest it is. Stole my heart very first time we met, back in...2009(?!). Who knows now!

I met Kitty after a year (!!!) and it was greaaaat - as always. We were laughing and actually crying from laugh. Csilla dear was our host and showed us around all the places where we could get the best cake and coffee and most of all brunch! I even tried sushi like second time in my life, haha. Why it had to be in Budapest, which is just absolutely NOT at the seaside, I don't know. But it happened and I liked it and now I can proudly say I LIKE IT. 

Ok, enough for Friday evening. Hope you're all doing just well! x

Niekedy sa to stane a my stretneme spriaznene duse. A stalo sa aj to, ze som s tymi svojimi stravila niekolko nezabudnutelnych dni v Budapesti. Neviem ako sa to stalo, ale Budapest mi vyrazila dych a moje srdce jej patri uz hrozne dlho a mozno je to aj moje najoblubenejsie mesto na svete. Och bolo to davno. Bolo to v 2009 (?!). hahaha Kto si to uz ma pamatat?!

S Kitty sme sa videli po roku (!!!). Zdalo sa to byt vecnost, ale hned ako sme sa na letisku stretli, vecnost bola prec a znovu sme sa smiali az sme plakali. Klasika. Byvali sme u drahej Csilly, ktora nam ukazala tie najlepsie miesta, kde si dat kolacik, salku kavy a hlavne ranajky. A dokonca som vyskusala aj sushi, asi druhykrat v zivote! Neviem preco to muselo byt prave v Budapesti, ktora ani nahodou nie je pri mori, ale bolo to dobre, a tak mozem hrdo vyhlasit, ze SUSHI MI CHUTI.

Ok, a to by uz asi aj mohlo byt vsetko na piatok vecer. Dufam, ze sa vsetci mate fajn! x

Meet my friends: Csilla

Dear everyone, Today is the day and I am about to introduce you to my dearest friend Csilla. I know her only for a year (how absurd does it sound, when taking into consideration how close she is to me?!), we met in Berlin, when working for the same NGO and now, even tho she is Canadian with Serbian/Hunagrian roots, she is doing her PHD in lovely Budapest. She is my inspiration when it comes to studying, sending postcards and most of all having brunches! Please, enjoy!
What do you like for breakfast?

Depending on fruit we have at home, usually 2 different types of fruit with muesli and with milk or yogurt, which depends on if I have coffee or tea with it. When I have a tea I opt for milk and when I have a yogurt I go for a coffee. 

But today since Bastian (lovely German flatmate) have a visitor, we went for breakfast to bakery and I had a “pozsony kifli” (translation: bratislava kifli), which was a pastry with walnuts. And I thought of you :)

Today I'd like to talk with you about your passion and love for Europe. Where does it come?

In general I have a deep passion for Europe. I don’t know how I developed this passion, but during my courses at the uni and so I was always heading into this direction.

I guess that also heritage has something to do with – I am rediscovering myself in here!

And so does the European culture, history and politics, which was always appealing to me.

So why back to Budapest?

Specifically Budapest I guess, as a re-discovery of my Hungaria-ness. Obviously the university is great and my program is really good as well. In general it was a really good offer. Not forgetting to mention my family, which part is living nearby. And the proximity to you!!! Hahaha (flatteeeered)

Would you do it again?

Depends on perspective. In case of city – a thousand times YES!

But school is difficult.

I have a really good impression of people, but of course I live in the bubble, as I am constantly surrounded by foreigners at the uni. But also locals seem to be very helpful all in general.

Definitelly a plus that I speak Hungarian tho.

Köszönöm szepen for the interview!

Mili vsetci,

dnes nastal ten den D, kedy Vas zoznamujem so svojou drahou kamaratkou Csillou.

Pozname sa len rok (co znie trochu absurdne, ked vezmeme do uvahy ako sme si blizke), stretli sme sa v Berline, kde sme pracovali pre rovnaku NGO, a teraz aj napriek tomu ze je Kanadanka so srbsko-madarskymi korenmi, je momentalne studentkou PHD v Budapesti.

Je mojou inspiraciou nie len v studiu a posielani pohladnic, ale najma v ranjkovych bruncoch :)

Nech sa paci!

Co si rada das na ranajky?

Zavisi to na ovoci, ake mame doma. Zvycajne si nakrajam dva druhy ovocia s muesli a s mliekom alebo s jogurtom. To zalezi na tom, ci si dam k ranajkam kavu alebo caj. Ak je to kava, tak jem muesli s jogurtom, a ak je to caj tak si ich dam s mliekom.

Ale napriklad dnes, nakolko tu ma Bastian (velmi mily spolubyvajuci z Nemecka) navstevu, sme boli v jednej pekarni a ja som mala "pozsony kifli" (preklad: bratislavsky rozok), s vlasskymi orechami. A myslela som na Teba :)

Dnes by som s Tebou rada hovorila o Tvojej vasni pre Europu. Odkial prameni?

Vo vseobecnosti mam obrovsku vasen pre tento kontinent. Neviem ako sa to vo mne vyvinulo, ale uz od skoly vsetky moje kurzy smerovali tymto europskym smerom.

Taktiez aj dedicstvo, ktore v sebe nesiem, s tym ma nieco spolocne - znovu sa tu objavujem!

A tak isto aj europska kultura, historia a politika mi su blizke srdcu.
