Discovering the Zulnay Culture in Pecs

How are you guys? I hope this next blog finds you well. You will be pleased to hear about Zsolnay culture today. This is the oldest culture we found in Pecs, Hungary.  
The buildings in the city are so beautiful tiled with this colorful ceramics. Not just on the floor, but on the roof and walls. Amazing right? You might it is very impossible, but they actually do extraordinary from an ordinary ceramics.  To prove that, we visit the Zsolnay family and factory exhibition. This is a permanent exhibition introducing the zsolnay family and their factory founded 1853, in the oldest building of the site - where the legend began.

Not only this, but you can find other exhibitions like Zsolnay Exhibition - Barnabas Winkler Collection of pink glaze as a result of pink experiments carried out by Vilmos Zsonay; Zsolnay's golden Age - Laszlo Gyugyi's collection who lives in America, represents a magnificent introduction to the ceramics from the period of Historicism and Art Nouveau. And of course, you can witness the  Zsolnay Mausoleum and Zsolnay live Manufactory.  Each has different entrance price, so don't forget to inquire from the in-charge. 

Since we have limited time, we have to go back to Szeged before 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so we chose to get to know the family and the factory up close. Here is what we found out.

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially  when you have to step out of your comfort zone.  A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip  are  lessons to reflect upon.  We  have proven how risky traveling is  w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were  times  we  put  our selves in danger because  we  messed out  our  bookings  and things didn't work out as  we  planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used  to booking our next departure  ticket  ever y time  we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had  to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries.
