If It's Wednesday, It Must be Doors

Although not as flashy as the wrought iron gate from last week, there is something very elegant about this. Wood is very expensive now in Hungary also, and this is one way of showing affluence in a small town.

Reliable Service Providers

This upbeat and helpful gentleman is the Hungarian representative of UltraFrame Winter Gardens. Not only is he reliable but he checks on his clients to make sure they are happy with the product and if a deadline is too close, he's been known to roll up his sleeves and help out to make certain the job gets done on schedule.

Only work well done can bring a carefree smile like this on a face of a person! Well done!

Photographer's Opinion

I can take no credit for this photo as it was borrowed from the site of MOMMO.HU. but the fellow you see on the photo above was a prominent statesman until his scelaton's began to fall out of the closet. He was exposed to have been a spy in the former regime and had left office voluntarily before having to do so. He now runs a consulting firm.

That is not what is funny about this photo but the banner behind him. No idea what it actually read, but the portion that shows on the photo when read together (szarszag) simply means the smell of excrement.

The Deryne Bistro

This Buda restaurant had become a landmark in the life of the city. The location is great, so is the atmosphere, furnishing, food and service.
This is their newest chef, who is quite a colorful person on top of being very talented. My daughter and I enjoyed one of the best meals there last week.
