Tourist Travel Warning For Ecuador, Bali Indonesia And Thailand Cambodia Border

The 4th Anniversary Of Ferenc.biz NOT Ference
Four years ago on October 28, 2003 I purchased the domain name ferenc.biz. My website had a simple goal back then: to have a slide show of a few of my photos. It was just one page for quite awhile if I remember correctly. Much has happened since and I learned a great deal about blogging and ...

Hungarians Do It Best – Tribute to The Greatest Hungarians and Hungary
What better way to celebrate the end of year 2006 in my blog than to look back at the monumental and microscopic contributions of Hungarians to Humanity. Could all these inventions and achievements have happened without the brilliant (or mad) minds of this small European country? Probably yes but most likely not a chance in a ...
Firefox 2 Web Browser Wins
I love Firefox web browser and Portable Firefox! They have made it possible for me to rapidly learn about web design, blogging and the make the most out of my Internet experience.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster web site offers an alternative theory of Intelligent Design. There are multiple presumptions of Intelligent Design but none as scientifically sounds as the concept of the Flying Spaghetti Monster creating the Universe.

One of The Greatest Hungarians!
Am I one of the Greatest Hungarians? Yes of course, but not self proclaimed! One of my blogs is being featured in the Greatest Hungarians section of a Hungarian website called Kispad (meaning: little bench). The Hungarian article can be read here and it is titled after the subtitle of one of my blogs: Hungarian Communist Depression ...
Bula from Fiji!
Bula! Bula! Bula! I have arrived to Fiji. First impressions compared to Hawaii: even more relaxed, less developed and friendlier. The trip went amazingly quick! The breakdown of how long it took: Szolnok (home) to Budapest Airport: 2 hrs in car Budapest to London Luton: 2 hrs on EasyJet London Luton to London Heathrow: 1 hr in bus on National ...

The One Month Hungarian Culture Shock Report
I clearly remember having lunch at the Zoo in the Városliget (City Park) 30 some years ago on a family trip. During a recent visit to our great capital Budapest I decided to clog another artery and taste a classic Hungarian sausage. Unfortunately even the classics have fallen victim to modernization. Another example of life being better ...
The Continuing Decline Of Hungary
After being back in Hungary for a week I am beginning to sense the current atmosphere in the country. The communist party is in power under a different name called Socialists. The media is sending the message of coming hardship in the form of raised prices, higher taxes and increased regulations. The communists promised a different future during ...
Returning to Hungary After 20 Years Of Exile
Undescribable is not a useful word in blogging. So I will try to give a feel of arriving back home after being away for 20 years. Yesterday was possibly the most bizarre day of my life. First of all it does not feel like 20 years it feels more like waking up from a 20 year long coma. It ...
