During the midday hours one of the main Downtown idea in Budapest was the “stage” of outrageous behaviour… with exaggerated footsteps and jerky mannerisms.

The Flashmobing was brought on a super windy and partly rainy day in Budapest. Never-the-less the original joke … silly walks” made its way in Budapest.  The intention was to show how individuals  handle the legendary comedy troupe Monty Python’s Flying Circus on the street of Budapest.   Heard on the way  quite a number of international language speaking folks who were silly walkers and must admit many foreigners joined the gag.

The call was already here in Budapest,  by Miklós Galla – entertainer artist and Steve Hajdú – actors for joining the first flashmob gathering to show,  invite the locals and foreigners handle this physical comedy.

So it proved to-day don’t have to go to neighbours, cause Budapest has Silly Walkers as well. This was a superb occasion for People living in their ordinary lives, to stop for a minute  and to put a little smile on their face.

At the press meeting these facts were told: The “UNDERGUIDE” believes that it is not the place, but the local people who make travelling such a real, personal and unforgettable experience! Their guides are local citizens and enthusiasts of Hungary and Budapest.

The Lucky 13 tour is never a ’one man show’ given by a guide. It is all about an exchange of ideas, a multitude of questions to discuss, small cheer up games and an unforgettable personal experience while you get to know Budapest and your Hungarian underguide better and better.

The departure place is from the Aquarium Club,, the most popular concert and event venue, the tour covers the following highlights of Budapest: St. Stephen’s Basilica, Design Terminal, Danube Promenade, Shoes on the Danube, Chain Bridge, Parliament, Vörösmarty Square, Jewish District and plenty of   hidden little treasures.

Mesélő-zsinagógák-300x225

On  Thursday, March, 19. 4.30 p.m.  civil people were invited with free admission to the Odeon-Lloyd Cinema -Budapest, where the premiere documentary film was shown before officially appearing this year in the month of  April on the local Spectrum TV channel.

The history of the Jews in Hungary is dating back centuries. Time never washed away the tradition. The war only temporarily trampled upon by the culture where secrecy was forced, but it always was hiding behind the walls on the streets of Budapest. History has always found the right way. The word synagogue means „Assembly House”. Hungary, however, unfortunately rewrote the word within its history. Before the World War II there were 350 active Synagogues. After the war, the majority of Jews in the rural settlements disappeared. The empty synagogues remained, but no longer served the Jewish place as worship. Many of them ruined, remained empty, hit over the years. Then at some places the local  population turned them into useful buildings.

Now-a-days, a total countrywide is forty Synagogues. At these places most of the local residents have no idea about the buildings original function, upon stories spread word-by-word from generation to generation  immortalize their memories.

Dávid Fülöp introduced the first-part of his four-part documentary. He said his intention of producing the series of documentary was to introduce to the young adults to the built heritage of the Jews in Hungary.  He also talked about the background of his idea. It all started one day arriving to the Honvéd Sport Club for his fencing training. As he entered the training center he discovered on the inner walls some Jewish monuments depicting the building details. Then together with his friend Eszter Soós decided to look, search for similar buildings in Budapest and in Hungary where previously these were functioning as Synagogues. They both discovered beside in Budapest more than a dozen in various sizes and architecturally unique buildings throughout the country to-day paying a complete and very different in function. Also was said the documentary will be subtitled in English language and after the premiere shooting on  TV will be available on other  forms of screening.

The 42-minute documentary series on the history of Hungarian synagogues had been funded and supported by the premiership.

Less than four years ago Molly and Wally the two combats arrived straight from Melbourne to the Budapest Zoo. On Friday, March,3 again was a big day in the history at the Budapest’s Zoo. Two unique newcomers Vobara and Nur-Nuru-Bin koalas arrived again to enrich the Zoo’s community.

Subspecies: Queensland – Nur-Nuru-Bin born at Wild Animal Park Mechelen Planckendael (Belgium) on June, 15.2012. Vobara came into the world on July, 29. 2012. in Germany, at Duisburg Zoo.

The koalas names bear in the Australian Aboriginal language “south wind”.

They both came to Hungary within the international koala program, which needed in advance 6 years of hard work, filling 660 pages, 60 individuals work, 1066H’s of training and documenting in Germany and Belgium the koala care personals. Their doctor was trained in France. In deed, welcoming the koalas needed a special environment – home that was built especially for the comfy. As for the daily feeding to provide the on eucalyptus plant … they both eat ½ kgs/day. Furthermore, taking into sum of other tasks. which also says at first the new zoo residents can only be males.

Nur-Nuru-Bin  and Vobara  koalas both are males … This is always the case when koalas are given to another Zoo. Hopefully, in a couple of year there will be a chance to have a female, replacing one of the male koala and time will tell if and when the koala baby will be born at the Budapest’s Too.

The koalas consume just about 50 types of eucalypt of the several hundred species and have a strong preference for young, juicy leaves. The koalas are offered an extremely varied menu in Budapest. They have a choice between several species of eucalyptus, most of which originate from Southern English. The freshly harvested shoots can be kept for about a week in fridge room, at a temp. of 7C (44.6F)

Throughout Eastern and Central Europe this is the first arrival of the koala bears. In Europe there are eight zoos having koala bear, one in Lisbon, one in Madrid, one in Beauval, one in  Edinburg, one in Vienna, two in Dresda,  one in Schönbrug and one in Duisburg . Form to-day now-on the Budapest’s Zoo  as the 9th zoo having koala bears in Europe is proud to say, two more unique animals originally living  Downunder  can not only be seen on TV or magazines, but can be visited see alive sleeping on top of the trees. As at the press gathering was said, lucky will be those visitors who come around 1 p.m. cause that is the feeding and weighting time and can see them walking around their environment as well.

Before heading to the koalas resident, the director of the Zoo and the DHL representative signed a co-operation agreement that stood for the daily delivery of koalas meals, the Eucalyptus leaves.

Don’t miss out … Track this event on Wednesday, March, 4. 2015 at the Akvárium Club on the Erzsébet Square in the Capital.

Tickets on the spot, price: 5900.-HUF

Through 2015 -2016 they are traveling in Europe and holding concerts and one of them will be this week-end at the Akvárium Club in the Capital. Over 2 years ago the Lamb gave a concert here in Budapest and then gained a lot of fans too. This time old and new fans will be awaited for a night of pleasure at their concert.

The band from Manchester are producer Andy Barlow and Lou Rhodes singer-songwriter. Their music is heavily influenced by hip hop, drum ‘n’ bass and jazz styles, which they successfully combine to achieve their electronic genre. Although Andy and Lou were the two founders of the band and the key members, they also expanded to welcome bass guitarist Jon Thorne, guitarist Oddur Mar Runnarson, and drummer Nikolaj Bjerre.

Once complete, in 1996 the „now multi cultural”-band went on to release their first self-titled album, which after success consequently followed the release of three more albums and numerous successful singles. They released a greatest hits album, named, “Best Kept Secrets”, in 2004. Although they seemed set for a long musical career, the band slowly started touring less and making less and less music, recording in studios less frequently than a band should. This let to the break up of Lamb in 2004 as they performed their last live gig at the Paradiso in Amsterdam.

After various solo projects, the band came back together in five years later in 2009. Their first performance since the break up was at ‘The Big Chill music festival’, they then subsequently went on to perform live at numerous British festivals, including, Glastonbury, Cactus Festival and Beautiful Days Festival as well as other throughout Europe.

Following this success, Lamb went on to release their 5th studio album, named, ‘5’.
