Welcome Back to the county town of Csongrád county, Szeged
We have just arrived back in Szeged this morning after a nice evening in Bekes sleeping in the bus station. We went there just to meet Barbi and her husband Joseph. She is very nice and she gave me a nice and beautiful traditional apron. I was enjoying staying a few moment with them because they have small pond and Joseph had thought me how to catch frog just placing your arms in the water. After all, we have to leave and staying overnight in Bekes.
Next morning comes, we were ready after a few power naps in the park. hahaha... That's we were allowed to do placing the sleeping bags on the ground and have 3 hours hitting the sack. One hour before 10am, we finally back in the bus station to wait at the platform 3 for Szeged. It was smooth ride and still fresh in my mind what happen last night, I saw hedgehogs.
Now, I am glad to find our home here in Szeged with ate Julie. She has been waiting for us since last night. She is very warmth and she cared for us so much. We arrived in Szeged like around 2pm in the afternoon. While waiting for daughter, Iren, we kept her company and I was laughing with her nice smile and actions though I never comprehend any of their conversations. When she talked to me in Hungarian and honestly just tell her, " Nem Todom"...meaning I don't know.
Exhibition and fair of Quality Hungarian Products 9-12 of August 2012
Special Festival of Excellent Quality
The best highlight of our stay here is the Hungaricum Festival, the visit to the Watermelon Festival in Emelik Park and the visit to the undiscovered tourist places in Szeged.
First, l am going to define what is Hungaricum Festival.Hungaricum Festival is going to be organized in Szeged for the fifth time. The aim of the festival is the display the country's quality Hungarian products and services in gastronomy, folk art, popular culture, agriculture, and husbandry to audiences of inland and abroad. We do our outmost to provide appealing programs to all age groups in the duration of the festival by gastronomical pleasures, as well as quality performances, folk music, Hungarian popular tines, operatta, handicraft workshops, and educational presentations. This time it was held in Szechenyi Square
Aside from that every5th August, they celebrate Watermelon Day at Heritage Village in Emlek Park is a fabulous opportunity to learn more about traditional ways to grow watermelon, and to find out how you can tell that a melon is ripe. Try the freshly cooked cantaloupe preserve, participate in fun contests, and indulge yourself in this deliciously healthy fruit. Not only that, I enjoyed dancing and singing with their traditional song with the villagers who are wearing the Hungarian costumes.
This park was created for the Hungarians all over the world. If they have kids who have grown up in the other country, this is the perfect place to teach them about their Hungarian culture.
One of the most interesting part in Emlek is the " A Magyarok Bejovetele" panoramic art. It is the biggest art work I've ever seen made by Feszty Arpad. However, during the world war II, the painting was damaged, then, for years, it was stored in a basement room of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. Finally, the restoration was begun in 1991.
For thousands of people who visit this traditional place of Hungarian cultural heritage, the National Memorial Park of Opustaszer will probably be one of the most pleasant and memorable place of pilgrimage - where Arpad Feszty's Panoramic Picture is the center of attention.
Indeed, the place really makes me feel how to be a real Hungarian.
Not only that, you can also see the beautiful tourist destinations in Szeged. Here they are.
Swimming in Tisza River can surely make you feel refreshing this scorching summer.
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
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 Sony Center allowed us to print the ticket. When we arrived in our next destination, Germany to
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.
