Hello hello!!!!!!
ooOOOooOOOooOOOOooOOOoo the party was SUPER WOW GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Im still dancing on my sleep hihihi, it took me 2 days to reach the party venue from Denmark, but it was totally worth it :)
The place was truly amazing, full of green, trees, a wonderful green valley that transformed into a psychedelic village for 4+1 crazy colourful days (and nights hihihi).
One thing, the buses outside Budapest are a little bit unreliable hihihi, just imagine, I lost a connection bus because the driver forgot to change the destination sign (!?!?!? hahahaha), I ended up with some mad czechs calling all kinds of bad names about the driver who left hahahah, but it was I met them, cause nobody (and I mean it, NOBODY) in that small beautiful connection village was speaking english hihihi, but somehow I managed to reach the party venue hihihi :)
I was there one day before the party starts, and it was great, met many party friends (people from Greece too hihihi) and all my neighbour tents were Hungarian people, I spent some time with them and told me so many things about Hungary and the way of life, they cooked dinner for me in huge pots (Hungarian food, mmmm yum yum), offered me lots of beer and Palinga (Hungarian alcohol hihihi, quite strong). But I was a little bit bored without the music the 1st day, I was going around smiling so I got a job hihihi, worked in a psyshop selling clothes and nice staff, the girl who had it was from Austria, she and the 2 crazy guys working there were really nice :) Its my 1st time I work a little bit in a festival and it was a really good experience hihihi :)
So for the next 4 days it was waking up around sunrise, lollipops, lots of chai and dancing until around 3am, then transfer to the chill out stage or go lying and sleeping in the nature hihihi :) It was a happy surprise that I met there some greek friends, even people from the party scene I havent seen for years!!! hehehe, these parties are our meeting points :)
Once again I realised that these open air psy festivals are not only about the music and dancing, you get connected with the nature, feel happy to be alive and enjoy each moment of the party, while dancing at the main stage under the sun, while chilling in the chill out stage, while meeting all kinds of crazy happy interesting people, while watching psy kids playing, while watching fire jugglers doing amazing staff, while sleeping on the grass under the trees...and during the night, ooooooo the sky was SOOOO clear, it was full of stars, small fires in some tents and the stars all over the sky...I stayed for hours lying on the grass, observing the starry sky and feeling happy hihihi :) One afternoon, while lying on the grass, I turn my head and there was a HUGE spider, just in front of my face hihihi, with a really cool web. Normally, I should stand and start running...but this is what I was meaning you get near to nature, I stayed there for a long time, observing this wonderful -and a little bit scary- creature, feeding itself :)
Once again, old people, kids, colours, music, dancing, smiles, and most important, a VERY GOOD HAPPY VIBE made this party one of the best I have been!! There were not so many people, around 4000-5000, but maybe its better, everyone was happy hihihi :)
On leaving I met a hungarian girl which became my guide until we reach budapest, it was amazing because she was actually studying to be a travel guide!!! So she spoke excellent english, knew everything about Hungary and she was really nice. A party guy from Denmark joined later, and there were also a couple from Israel, of course, all of them from the party hehehe :) Especially the guy from Denmark was very interesting because he was 30+ years old and have been going to open air festivals for 10 years hihihi, and he was living near Christiania!!! He was surprised to hear that I had just came from Denmark to the party, so it was endless talking about festivals and happy Copenhagen hihihihi.
In Budapest I stayed with a girl and her wonderful family, it was super wonderful!!!! Her parents were SOOOo nice and openminded, always smiling and in a good mood. Her father was producing mushrooms, and he was kind enough to take us to the facilities he works, it was extremely interesting to see how mushrooms grow up, and the procedure it takes for them to reach the market, and finally, our food hihihi :)
There was also a guy from Turkey that joined us, together with the friends of my host-girl we had a wonderful time, going to place I would never go without because I would never know about them, really nice alternative places and lots of beer hihihihi :) Later a guy from Russia came as well. There was also the National Holiday of Hungary, so we watched fireworks, but a crazy storm started, resulting to some people getting killed and many injured!!! Fortunately for us, we were at an amazing home, on the top of a 5 floor huge building, with a wonderful night view of Budapest.
Budapest is a really beautiful city, especially at night!!!!
One last note about Hungarian people, they gave me a really warm feeling. In the bus going to the train station to take my train, I was a little bit confused, a really old lady who didnt speak english at all, took my small map and papers, and somehow using the universal language, we communicated and she told me when I had to go down:)
In the McDonalds I wanted to just eat some quick junk food, the girl smiled to me while giving me my order and gave me an extra icecream "a present for you" she said, WoW!!!! This has never happened to me to any McDonalds in the world hihihi :)
So here I am in Chech Republic, Prague is SOOOOo beautiful as well!!!!! Im staying with a really nice couple, they have done lots of travelling and I listened to all the things they told me...especially about the communism era which the guy passed through it (he is 35). It was EXTREMELY interesting all the things I learned, which of course I wont write here, dont want to start a political conversation. He took me to really wonderful cheap places and tasted some of the best local food and beer in Chech hihihi, especially one meal, it was raw meat filled with raw egg, we added some spices on it, make a mix, then take bread, rub a piece of garlic on both sides, and then put the raw mix on it, it was VERY DELICIOUS, but after the meal I couldnt speak to people closer than 15cm HAHAHAHAHAH, this garlic is really strong hihihi :) The guy has his own company here and he gave me a tour on his headquarters, really nice hihihi :) He is a collector of old staff and his place is like a museum, I could easily spend a whole day discovering all kinds of staff hehehe.
One interesting point, the Czech language is very unique and different to the languages of the neighbouring counties because its...Finnish based (?!?!?!?!). Now how is it possible that Finland and Hungary to share the same base for the language, ask the ancients hihihi :)
oh oh, its getting late and I havent slept for ages hihihi, so I should better go and have a happy sleep. mmmmmm whats going to be, for the rest of the trip will be some more travelling and visiting good friends in various places hihihi, plus an event of MASSIVE ATTACK hihihi, 1st time to listen to them live and I havent been to an event-concert for some time so Im going to LOVE it, but of course, whatever whenever hihihi, free as a bird YEAH hihihi :)
Everybody, take care and super smile!!!!! :)
all the happy best :)
