WELCOME TO BUDAPEST’S   EIFFEL  SQUARE

27 – July – 2011

Finland is pretty well know by the kids of Santa Claus sledging down from Lapland every Xmas. The adults are pretty familiar with the Finlandia Vodka. Finnish  call their Finlandia Vodka  ”From the Nature to the Bottle” The unique springs environment of the glacial assures the pure, clear water, that’s been growing ever since over 10,000 years. To-day, during the late morning hours, well know artists came along to do something very unique. Participated at a competition to rescue four bottles Finlandia Vodka one-by-one prisoned into frozen four huge ice tomb constructed by Kimmo Frosti, the ice sculptor. He previously formed 4 bricks of ice tombs with the newly designed Finlandia Vodka bottles in these ice blocks. Tamás Somló – musician/composer/singer, Zita Karsai – dancer, Viktor Király – 4th.Megastar winner and Anett Bálizs, soap-opera star all arrived to the scene of Budapest’s Eiffel Square.

The Eiffel Square is right next door to the Western Railway Station, that was opened  in 1877.  The construction was upon the plan by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (Dijon,1832  – Paris, 1923) French civil engineer, cartoonist designer, captain of industry. His plan of metal works came alive by the construction of the Eiffel Tower – Paris and  the Liberty Statue on the Liberty Island  – N.Y./US

They joined the competition of who is the quickest in cutting, removing the bottle of Finlandia Vodka from these frozen ice tombs. The invited guest received all kinda cutting tools (saw, chisel, ice carver, flame-thrower) and off they went. The battle was tough and sweaty to rescue the Finlandia bottles frozen, locked into the ice tombs. After rescuing the Finlandia bottles from those closed freeze world of ice came the second part of the competition, whereas they could allow their imagination to prepare a smooth fruity taste cocktails. thereafter, came the juries rates of the cocktails: by colour, design, aroma, added extra fruits and fruit juice to higher the already aromatise tastes. Their were two adjudicators Tamás Sipos and Győző Varga, representing the group of „Irigyhonalajmirigy” (at first prehaps strange for the ears named group as in English and Hungarian language … E.A.G (envy armpit glandular) The group is very popular here in Hungary. They skit Hungarian and International pop music by rewriting the lyrics into everyday’s matters and situations. The third adjudicator was Gergő Varga – the Finlandia Hungarian and International multiple champion, who warmed up a bit of that cooler weather here now, at  the end of July.

Indeed, it was a pleasant stylistic, excellent show for the representatives of the press and medias. The event closed with the tasting tests of the „light” divvy Finlandia Vodka fruity cocktails.
