 Chapter2. Connected update to the https://rollinginbudapest.com/2017/03/13/vii-gyulai-sausage-and-sodarmustra-2017/

Gyula is a relative small City, just about 30000 inhabitants. Yet, there are a lot of locals and tourist  visitors throughout the year and whether being a gobbler or just a modest gourmand, at Gyula will find the right place to  satisfy hunger and thirst.

Spending almost the whole day at the Sausage and Sódamustra press meeting, along with visiting the Gyula Pálinka Manufacture – tasting hall, went to the Patrióta Restaurant for supper.  It is a family business run by Katalin Nyári  and Árpád Csiszér since 2008. The professional service, is a real authentic Hungarian restaurant served real tasty good food. The chief obviously loves his profession, really nice flavours and creative compositions. His wife, being the service staff, has a diverse knowledge of wine and foodies. The interior of the restaurant is clear and simple, and very friendly, similar to the typical Hungarian small restaurants, but if you enter you feel more, because you will get a wonderful journey on enjoying the dishes. The restaurant is near of the center of Gyula, half way among the Castle and Gyula’s center. The couple pays a lot of attention to their suppliers, and to their quality, everything is made fresh. Was cared as royal feast, experienced the novelty of goulash jelly and those who prefer beef surely wish to recommend to taste the tender beef cheek with heavenly excellent homemade croquettes. Attention for the fish lovers …  the whole baked trout, fresh, tasty and juicy. Outside of Budapest’s restaurants, this restaurant is a small jewel’s of south-east Hungary. Also for the 3rd time ranked as the only restaurant in Békés county in TOP 100 of the National Dining Guide.

It would be difficult to put in words the wide range of delicacies surprised us by the restaurant, but the night was still ahead and János Kocsis – tour guide lead us through the quiet peaceful town. Closing the day turning into the night, entered the Guinness Pub – the only Irish pub in Gyula – where the welcoming happened hand-in-hand by Guinness on the tap and got loose with live blues music … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTNFgTroGSY

Last but not least, when thinking where to spend your week-end or holidays visit Gyula, where a handful of events, with sights and sounds to enjoy will be at your fingertips. A large number of hotels can choose by visiting the home page of  “Visit Gyula”

No Mistake … it is clear by now that in addition or should be said beside the already great Hungarian wines, great beers homeland became Hungary!

Humans are equipped with the ability to taste, smell and scent, the mouthfeel of foods and beverages. These senses work in combination to give an overall impression of what is being consumed. There are also other factors that play influence whether we find a taste desirable or not.  When it comes to tasting beer, what constitutes a „good beer” and a „bad’ beer”? Firstly, there are many different beer types and people will gravitate to what suits their palate. In breweries and ciders across the world, no matter how much testing and measuring goes on during production, not a single batch is released unless it is tasted by competent people to ensure that it is of the right quality and has the right flavour attributes for that drink type … isn’t that good to know!?!

The Alltech Craft Brews & Food Fair Ireland’s largest craft brews fair, opened its doors for the three-day festival at The Convention Centre Dublin. This year gold medals were awarded to outstanding brews from Hungary, Ireland, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Spain New-Zealand and so forth.

During the 3 days it was more than just a craft beer festival, having craft cider, craft spirits and craft wine whereas was more than something to tempt all taste buds.

Now getting to the point to this year’s Dublin Craft Beer Cup competing out of 370 craft beers.Twenty-three Hungarian beers in Ireland were awarded at the craft beer festival.

Hungary participated within 44 beers from 11 breweries which also out came with prizes. This year the Hungarian beers received a huge recognition of the high quality of artisanal beers produced in Hungary.  The big winner at the Alltech Craft Brews & Food Fair was produced by Ádám Dudok and Máté Ábrahám  the Horizont Saison Witbier – „Fűtőház” namely 327-139 stout brewery beer received the gold medal from the 28-strong international jury. The award was presented by Dr. Pearse Lyons – founder – president of Alltech, and Dr. Gearoid Cahill – director of brewing science at Alltech in Dublin, Ireland.

Other Hungarian breweries as: HeatingHouse, Hopfanatic the HopTop, Mad Scientists, Maecenas Beer Brewing Co., Synthesis Workshop also received silver and bronze medalist for their boasts beers. The Etyeki Beer Manufactory, a Monyo Brewing co., RothBeer beers were rewarded with a bronze medal.

The grand prize was handed over on last Thursday evening in Dublin. The gold, silver and bronze medals were collected by the prize-winning breweries and those not present in Dublin at the ceremony were handled over at the Krak’n Town Steampunk Saloon – Budapest (By-the-way an excellent Irish food place to have a bite or two…!)

Should like draw the forthcoming organizers attention and would like to recommend that in the future the charters hold the name of the “Country”  which the beer received the award … Thus, the beer lovers find information about which part of the world’s favorite straight draw they are enjoying.

Many may know by heart, as beer experts say… „Some ciders can be thin, dry, fruity and acidic. Which do you prefer – that’s up to your own personal taste. That’s the great thing about beers and ciders – you can find many that suit your palate. Pilsen beers can be thin on mouthfeel, taste quite bitter with no sweetness from the malt, giving a crisp clean bitterness with some fruity from the esters produced by the yeast naturally during fermentation. Some ales have body with a creamy mouthfeel, sweetness from the malt, bitterness from hops and also a great hop aroma from other hop types. Now ain’t that a hug variety when it come to have a pint of beer.”

„Padmashri Prathibha Prahlad is a renowned and a pre-eminent Indian classical dancer. In a career spanning 40 years, she has been a performer, choreographer, educator, author, arts administrator, and a pioneering curator of performing arts festivals.

Bharatanatyam is one of the most popular and widely practiced classical dance styles of India, with sculptural evidence dating back nearly 3000 years. A highly spiritual and dedicatory dance form, Bharatanatyam‘s roots go back to the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu, in South India.

The dance moved from temples to theaters over time, but has retained its characteristic devotional component, expression of human emotions, and stylized storytelling. The flexibility of the Bharatanatyam framework lends itself well to both traditional themes as well as modern-day subjects.

Originally performed only by female soloists, Bharatanatyam is now performed by male and female soloists as well as ensembles all over the world. In its present form, Bharatanatyam is approximately 200 years old, and continues to evolve as a “living” performance art.

Bharatanatyam is composed of three main aspects – nritta, or technical dance, with a sophisticated base vocabulary used to build intricate combinations and rhythmic patterns that does not convey any specific meaning; nritya, or expression dance, using facial expressions, highly stylized gestures, postures and body language to convey any mood; and natya, or dramatic storytelling.

All of these aspects are codified in the Natya Shastra, the ancient Indian treatise on dance and theater arts, and are used in harmony to uplift the audience and the dancer to a higher level of contentment and spiritual consciousness.”

Herald News – Vodafone has launched 4G+ and doubled its 4G capacity in Budapest – 2017

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , .

press-release-february-1-2017

Vodafone Hungary Zrt. launched its Hungarian operation on November, 30. 1999.

Vodafone in Hungary is an integrated technology provider, with a portfolio covering mobile communication, mobile internet and broadband data services for retail and business users alike.

Vodafone is a global leader in mobile telecommunication services active in 26 countries over five continents, and has 49 additional partner networks, serving over 470 million customers worldwide. Vodafone offers a full range of telecommunications services including voice and data communication.

Latest Press release … “After improving 3G indoor coverage in Budapest, Vodafone has most recent network development and launched its 1800 MHz LTE service in Budapest and its catchment area on top of the 800 MHz LTE service used till now, thus increasing the maximum bandwidth available for 4G services from 10 MHz to 20 MHz  announced by Amrita Gangotra – Technology Director.

Vodafone has combined the capacities of the two spectra using the most up-to-date technologies available. Thanks to the doubled bandwidth and the so-called Carrier Aggregation technology, mobile services are becoming much higher quality, more stable and faster for all customers using 4G enabled handsets in Budapest and its catchment area.

Carrier Aggregation was piloted by Vodafone in Tatabánya, so next to Budapest 4G+ services are also already available in the county seat of Komárom-Esztergom County. Vodafone will continue to roll out this service in numerous other towns of different sizes.

Vodafone’s great 4G network is so fast and reliable it could even be used to navigate a hurtling racing car with blacked out windows, whilst in our everyday lives it guarantees fast access to information and a reliable mobile Internet experience.

The launching of the 1800 MHz LTE network makes it possible for numerous customers to access 4G services who use handsets that do not allow them to connect to the 800 MHz LTE network (for example iPhone 5), therefore in Budapest alone 4G services will now become available to more than 35 thousand of our existing customers.

In Budapest, Vodafone has turned on LTE1800, and therefore Carrier Aggregation, at 425 sites, raising outdoor 4G+ coverage in the capital to 87.2% of the population. Vodafone’s 4G coverage in Budapest is close to 100% outdoor and 98,1% indoor.

Using the frequency range which by now has reached a total capacity of 20 MHz is reducing the load on the  LTE 800 cells, which in itself greatly improves 4G services, as customers can access a larger bandwidth. The overwhelming majority of smartphones on the market that are younger than 2 years are Carrier Aggregation enabled, meaning that, as a result of this development, their users have access to 4G+ services that are much faster than the service offered before, facilitating theoretical download speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s.

This speed allows users to download a high-resolution (HD) film in just a few minutes, meaning they can enjoy on-line streaming services without interruption, in excellent quality. The 4G+ services can typically be used with handsets that are not older than 2 years and can also run on the LTE 1800 MHz network. However, only certain smartphones display this combined network as ‘4G+’, while others still show ‘4G’.

Vodafone’s new, short video shows the speed and reliability of the mobile Internet network. In the video, Alexandre Froment-Curtil – CEO sits in the 380 HP Opel Mokka racing car of the Dakar rally’s heroic Szalay-Bunkoczi team, in the navigator’s seat.  The car’s windows are totally blacked out, so Balázs Szalay has to drive the car whilst relying on the images ‘seen’ by the handsets fitted onto the roof of the speeding car, and broadcast using Vodafone’s 4G network. Balázs Szalay said, Quote: “I have already driven in extreme conditions on quite a few occasions; including in the endless dunes of the Sahara Desert, past terrifying cliff tops in South America also in rainy and muddy Russia, and sometimes even on ice in Iceland, but I have never done it like this before – totally blind, purely relying on the images live streamed by the handsets. It has been a real experience, and further proof that mobile technology can be relied on even in the most extreme of circumstances.”  … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6XhmbfrjXg&feature=youtu.be
