Hungary, where are you sinking?

It is shocking...I am speechless.

Can't find the words regarding the recent happenings in Hungary.

A well-known, famous romanian handball player, who plays in a great hungarian team, was stabbed in the heart, and died on Sunday.

It is shocking...

Nobody believes that such a terrible thing could happen nowadays.

And yet, the second or third comment of that news was already: yes, the socialist government's other achievement...

Come on, people... !!!

And, this comment was also made by one of my classmates at the university.

He is now doing a PhD in a well-known, prestigous university...

Seriously...

I am fed up with the government too... but seriuosly... this is ridiculous..

How is that again the fault of Gyurcsany?

Pff.. people should think a little...

I don't agree with the policies the government applies on the minorities ... (let's face it... on the gypsies either... ) but PEOPLE!!!
Seriously!!!

I really hope that whoever did this terrible thing, will be punished... as he deserves it.

I am also glad that the police managed to arrest them...

can not even imagine, if only half of those things are coming true what the newspapers and he people in the comments are writing ... revange with 100 - 300 ex-soldiers... and they are all waiting in front of the hungaraian border...

Seriously... this is the world we live in?

Pff...

Snowattack - skiing week

As a great tradition, with my favorite ex-flatmates (everybody from UNIV211) and some other friends we go skiing for a week.

Last year we went to Gerlitzen, Austria...
This year: Puy Saint Vincent, France.
This is a small skiresort in the south of France...It takes like 8 hours from Geneva to get there... including of course 2 hours just waiting in Grenoble.
Anyways, despite all the problems I had with the train - pfff... we could not leave Grenoble because of some techincal difficulties...
And as we were stucked there more than an hour, it was more likely that I lost my correspondance to an other train...

So... guess what?
The train company decided to extend the way of my original train, and take me to my final destination...

Pff.... I was exciting some kind of a compensation, let's say, a free accomodation in Gap, or that they make my second train wait...
But this.... was shoxking.

This would never happen in Hungary.

So, finally, I got to Puy Saint Vincent (after the train I should get a bus as well... the traveling took me like 20 minutes.. in serpentie obviously... So i was very close to ... well..whatever...

When I got to the place... it was amazing: everywhere snow, and white, and huge huge mountains... oh.. loved it.. and of course Kristof and David was already waiting. ;)

The guys who I was supposed to take care of... ;)
Well... actually, it happened on the other way around.. they took care of me... cooked for me (best dishes...), helped me with the luggages, took care of me in the slopes, in the parties, even let me play UNO all day... ;)
Not to mention all the other great things, I learnt form the guys...

Guys, thanks a lot!! hahahaha...
And, yes, I know, you did all, what I should have done... but you guys were just simply...the best :)

Betti reserved a room for us, I was very glad for that too... as I defintily didn't want to sleep on the corridor... as Balazs and Farky did... ;)

Actually, I have to say my friends didn't really like the food that I brought with me... (the original, perfect cheese that is consumable till 11 February or the original, swiss Hütten Lunch with its weired smell... anyways...)

We figured out to have every night a dinner-competition, each night on e of us should cook something, and we are going to be the judges.
At the end of the night we decide, how many scores the cooker deserves....
Well, I have to say.. Kristof should have won the competition....as he cooked for us and took care of all of us..., yet, K, you should have cooked the soup on the first night...not the spaghetti... ;)

Yet, I am talking...

The one, who is such a great "leader" that managed to delegate the cooking, and let the others (Vandi&Jege, Maresz&Zoli) make us a traditional hungarian dish.
Ok, ok, to tell you the truth, I was responsible for baking the met - that means: check the meat in every 15 minutes with a folk... ;)

And actually, I did it for a greater good...

Nobody wants to taste what I cook anyways...and they shouldn't. ;)

So, we went out almost every night... ;)

Farky, Maresz, K - dancing

Ok, one thing I didn't tell you yet... Snowattack was basicly THE Hungarian party ski camp.
That means that a hungarian TV channel came with us, we were like 3000 people including some great artists (like Megastar whichever-winner Gaspar Laci..pff..and other never-heard famous "stars")
This week there are plenty of reports broadcast specificly on this camp.

So, yes, as a party ski camp... the parties were good.

K&Bandi...crazy-crazy Boogie night ;)

And... it had been snowing for like 3 days, we were worried by the end, how we gonna get back home, but, yes, it was fun!

I missed those guys, and it was good to see them again, talk to them, and experience lot of new things... I have broaden my horizont with some very funny, sometimes disgusting, sometimes tiring, but defintily awsome stories... ;)

K, Bali, Farky

I love ya all! ;)
(and gonna cry soon... ;)

Yes on immigration referendum

Well, well, well...
Long time no update.. I know.
So, here I am...back from Snowattack - skiing week in France - it deserves an other post... ;)

On February 8th there was a referendum held in Switzerland for extending the right of EU citizens to live and work in Switzerland...actuallly it was for renewing the already existing agreement allowing migrant workers into Switzerland and extending it to Bulgaria and Romania.

Despite all the negative campaign, swiss voted yes...
59,6% of the voters backed this deal.

It was quiet a big deal.. as the EU has already indicated, if Switzerland would vote "No", the EU would use the guillotine clause and will cancel also the first package of bilateral agreements.

There were some very interesting negative campaigns as well... mainly by the ultra-rightist Swiss People's Party.













I understand that in this economic downturn swiss are also afraid of a huge wave of immigrants, and that poor romanians and bulgarians are taking the jobs instead of the swiss, since eastern europeans are cheaper labour.

However, the free movement goes on the other way around too... Swiss people are allowed to work in the EU as well, and cancelling all the bilateral agreement would not help the trade within the EU too...

Actually, it goes like this:
- you earn the most if you graduated in St. Gallen University
- then the rest of the swiss universities
- then the french people
- then the rest of the world...

So, of course, the fear of huge influx of eastern europeans is understandable...
