No more hate-campaign posters, just tomcats. 😼😺

Geen haatcampagne-posters, maar katertjes. 🦁🐱

We sometimes stop by the House of Hungarian Photography in My Manó Café to cool down / warm up. The logo of the café is a cherub with a coffee cup, because on the wall you can see another cherub with a camera.

Mai Manó opened his photo studio in the building in 1894, with a solar studio (there was no electric lighting yet). They made photos also for the royal family. You can see the solar studio with the painted backgrounds if you
visit one of the photo exhibitions of the best artists in the world hosted in the house. There is a small but really good photo book store over the café if you don't want to buy touristic but artistic books and postcards.

The exhibitions and the store are closed on Mondays, like most of the museums in Budapest.

And the café is inspired by a Marroccan coffeeshop in Amsterdam, often with fresh homemade pie! 🥮

Morgen opent in de Burgt (in het Koninklijk Paleis te Buda), in het Historisch Museum van Boedapest een tentoonstelling over de KINDERTREINEN: na de eerste wereldoorlog werden een heleboel Hongaarse kinderen naar Nederland en België gebracht om hun aantesterken. Bedankt! Köszönjük!

Bestemming: Hoop. De internationale kindertrein-actie in het interbellum

We see some of these figurines also on the tours. The cartoon figures get scarf and a warm cap in the winter. Don't forget yours! 🧣🧤🎅

What do a murdered squirrel and Hungarian puppet have in common? They are all the hidden mini statues of Mihály Kolodko, a guerilla-sculptor.

Homoseksueel Mátyás (39) vertelt voor de Puskás Aréna in Boedapest, het stadion waar Oranje vanavond tegen Tsjechië strijdt, over zijn eigen gevecht: zijn coming-out. "Ik voelde me zondig en hoopte jarenlang dat mijn homoseksuele gevoelens zouden verdwijnen."

Gebeurtenissen van de laatse dagen.

Woensdag werd de hoofdredacteur van de grootste onafhankelijke nieuwssite van Hongarije ontslagen.

No tourists, no tours. Luckily I started to do delivery in the winter, so I can cycle even more now. 🚴‍♂️

Behind me the statue of Ignác Semmelweis, "the savior of mothers", the 'inventor' of handwashing. 🚰 He did it "before it was cool", and mankind didn't know about bacteria and viruses. He was ridiculed, closed in a fool house, beaten and died there.🏴

Google just dedicated a doodle to him some days ago:

I hope, everybody reading this is doing fine, playing safe. 😊😷

Ik denk, het is te Europees voor de regering - omdat Rusland wél meedoet, om uittedrukken, dat ze bij Europa horen.

Hongarije zal komend jaar niet meedoen aan het Eurovisiesongfestival in Rotterdam. De regering in Hongarije zou het evenement 'te gay' vinden.
