This time I will talk about Hungary, but not the entire country, just its capital city Budapest – and it’s food, like paprika, as you might easily guess from the title.
Just a couple of weeks ago we went to that wonderful city: there is a direct flight from Stansted to Budapest, quite cheap, and it takes only 2 hours and 30 minutes… Enough to take it in the morning and have a Magyar meal for lunch.
No, I’m not talking about any revolution in the Italian Parliament.
I wish I could but that’s not the case, even because we are under elections and we have the vote soon – if the AIRE let’s us vote of course…
I’m talking about the place where the Robin Hood folklorist ballad took place: Nottingham – or the so-called “Shottingham” in UK…

My Lonely Planet guide says it is one of the most important Carnival of the world, maybe only second to the Rio de Janeiro one.
I like Lonely Planet guide hints, I did buy a lot of them, but sometimes they’re terribly wrong.
Maybe the sentence wasn’t complete: that is the second biggest carnival in the world out of all rainy countries like England.
This post is a way to share some picture I made about Francesca’s homemade food: in particular pizza. Last time we did almost 2 kg of pizza at home.
That’s the event in this period in Cambridge: at the end of the term all people go to see bumps at the river.
Every college has its own team, often more than a couple, to race and all students go and camp near the river to watch his team trying to ‘bump’ other boats. Continua a leggere
