Vamos a la playa! :)))

My weekend was quite busy, I didn´t get to go to Melbourne what was a bumer!!!But it was still good. Now I´m in a last minute rush so I think the last pictures will be uploaded from home already :) But you can have a guess based on the title ;)

Haat vegul nem jutottam el Melbourne ami miatt eleg merges voltam, de vegul meg lett mentve a hetvege. Most az utolso pakolasokat csinalom eppen, aztan meg lemegyek a strandra egy kavara meg sutire.Asszem a legujabb kepeket mar csak otthon fogom feltolteni vagy esetleg Bangkokban :) A cimbol azert lehet kovetkeztetni, hogy mirol fognak szolni ;)

Powerhouse:fashion, fashion, fashion :))

The last week was pretty good, I could proceed with the protocol and show it to Angela today. I had thai lunch one day with a Canadian Phd student girl and I had to come to Australia to discover that I actually like Asian food a lot!!It was really delicious, and I got so inspired by it that when we decided to go to the movies on saturday with David because his parents had some old guests over, I proposed that I want to have dinner at a thai restaurant. The movie was not too unforgettable, we watched the 'ghost writer".

However, the culinary highlight of this week was undoubtly friday!! Steve and his gulyas! :D During the day I got some questions whether I want to have mushroom in it and such things, and I said no, and also no bean, pea, razin, rice or other things which don't belong to the gulyas soup but people everywhere else than in Hungary tend to put it in. But Steve refused to take my directions as he assured me of his expertise in this field : D So just how I expected we ended up with a nice, tasty dish ans sth completely different from gulyas soup. But the funniest thing was to see how different he is in the family circle....I could hardly imagine him clubbing in the Sydney nightlife if I wouldn't have seen it myself :P



Steve, the family man / Steve, a csaladapa. Ha nem a sajat szememmel latom amit lemuvelt az Ivyban, nem is hiszem el :P


Anyways, I decided that I want more glamour this weekend :) I gave enoug to nature and animals lately, so I wanted THE CITY now :D
So on saturday I had a nice morning cupcake and coffee with Annette in Paddington because one of her oldes friends runs an extremely popular coffe place there. Then I went back to the paddington nmarket, and to some other nice little shops, and found a necklace I definitely would like to possess :))




This place is the favourite of every generation :) / Ez a hely mindegyik generacio kedvence :)



Annette and me / Annette es en. Hozza kell tennem, hogy masszazs elott volt, es azert nez ki ilyen alapul, amugy eleg jo izlese van smink es ruha teren.



Clothes, shoes, accessories everywhere in Paddington / Ruhak, cipok, kiegeszitok lognak szo szerint mindenhol ebben a negyedben



I saw this piece on the very first weekend and it hopefully comes with me to Austria / Ezt a darabot mar az elso hetvegen kineztem magamnak, remelhetoleg jon velem Ausztriaba ;)

The next destination was the Powerhouse museum because I have read so many times that they have really good exhibitions and it didn't let me down, I got just what I wanted. I saw 2 exhibitions for only 5 bucks what is a bragain. One of them was about a successful Australian fashion photographer and the other one about the Australian fashion week. I spent 4 hours in the museum and had such a great time. Especially because this weekend was totally the opposite of the last one from weather point of view and it was all cloudy and rainy, so is there anything better than being inside and looking at beautiful clothes and photographs ? :) Ok, now some of you probably think, that hallo, yes there is, but for me it was just perfect:)





I´m in my studio with my most successful designs in the background and on the phone with my VIP client ;)/ Itt eppen a studiomban vagyok es az egyik VIP vevommel egyeztetek ;)






Bruno Benini was a talented fashion photographer indeed and the exhibition found some really good ways to show his works / Bruno Benini tenyleg jo divatfotos volt es a kiallitas eleg jo modokat talalt ara hogy hogyan mutassa meg a munkait


I got quite tired though and sunday started out as a lazy day on the couch because it was still cloudy and grey outside. However, I ended up on a bushwalk again, got attacked by birds, got cought by a rain shower and got totally lost in the "Mosman jungle" :D Then I decided to attend a very important Australian cultural event, the big rugby league grand final in the Oaks hotel but my enthousiasm lasted only for 20 min and took a bus and went home which I think disappointed David a little bit, but....such is life :)) So that's about the lazy sunday...



Completely lost :D / Ha kisse etevedtunk....

Yesterday Annette had birthday! She invited some other friends over and Anna and her bf Jordy came too and we went to a pretty nice restaurant there in Mosman, in Clifton gardens. The sun started to shine up, the food was great and everybody got so tired of this demanding program :P that the rest of the day from about 5 was just spent with watching "The apprentice" and "project runway"....and sometimes my eyelid from inside hehe ;))

Of course the best part was the dessert yummm / Na a desszertek megertek egy miset....

A het eleg jol telt, kb vegeztem ezzel a protokollal es ma megmutatom Angelanak, hogy mire is jutottam. Egyik nap csak en meg egy kanadai, Phd-t iro lany voltunk az irodaban ugyhogy elhataroztuk, hogy elmegyunk ebedelni egy thai etterembe a kozelben, es megallpitottam, hogy Ausztraliaig kellett jonnom, hogy rajojjek, valojaban nagyon izlik az azsiai konyha!Igy szombaton is azt ettem vacsorara a mozi elott. Annettek athivtak valami oreg parost estere ugyhogy David meg en jobbnak lattuk lelepni :P. A "ghost writer"-t neztuk meg.....haaat....egynek jo volt, de semmi kulonos.

A het kulinaris fenypontja azonban vitathatatlanul Steve pentek esti "magyar" gulyasa volt. Legalabbis a het elejen annak indult, amikor nagy lelkesen felkialtotta sarki pub-ban, hogy hiszem o tud magyar gulyaslevest fozni es ezt feltetlenul meg kell kostolnom. Penteken kaptam par emailt, hogy akarok e bele gombat, mondtam nem, akarok e bele borsot, mondam nem, akarok e bele karfiolt mondtam nem, es akkor gondoltam, irok egy rovid osszefoglalot, hogy mik a tradicionalis osszetevoi a gulyasnak, es hogy nem, azaz nem kell bele rizs, karalabe, sutotok,mazsola stb....amit Magyarorszagon kivul mindenki hajlamos beledobalni. Azonban Steve nem igazan mutatott nagy hajlandosagot arra, hogy ilyen olyan jotanacsokat kovessen es biztositott szakertelmerol gulyasleves teren.....jjjja.....

Ha mindegy, mi elmentunk, es valoban sikerult egy nagyon finom hm.....etelt osszeraknia vegul ami olyan kozel all a gulyasleveshez mint mondjuk a hortobagyi husos palacsinta, de igen buszkenek tunt, ugyhogy gondoltam nem lombozom le. Tulajdonkeppen egy tanyer, spagettitesztanal vastagabb de majdnem ugyanolyan hosszusagu "galuskat" ontottunk nyakon egy suru piros - a paprikaval azert nem sporolt - husban gazdag ragufeleseggel, majd adtunk a tetejere tejfolt es orias petrezselymet amit Nick, Steve 7 eves fia eloszor brokkolinak titulalt....:) Vegul megegyeztunk, hogy a majdnem elhanyagolhato kulonbsegek csakis abbol adodnak, hogy o meggondolta magat, es vegul a gulyas nemet valtozatat keszitette el, mert o felig nemet :))) Az almaslepeny (is) nagyon nagyon finom volt, es kulonosen azert volt erdekes mert Lena csinalta aki 10 eves.

A hetvegen elhataroztam hogy VAROST akarok :)) nagyon jok voltak az allatok meg a sok sok termeszet, de most kellett mar egy kis "glamuuuuuuuur" :D Szoval szombaton reggel Annette eljott velem Paddingtonba es beultunk egy sarki kavezo/ebedlo/uzsonnazo/embernezo+kritizalo/tarsasagieletetelo- be, ami rettenetesen nepszeru es David keresztenyja mukodteti. Onnan en tovabbmentem egy ket boltba ott a kornyeken, ami arrol hires, hogy a fo bevasarloutcarol ha leteresz, akkor a kis mellekutcakban designer outletek es feltorekvo ausztral tervezok ekszerdobozhoz hasonlo kis boltjai talalhatoak. En megtalaltam a darabot - lasd a kepet fent a nyaklancrol - amiert utolso nap visszamegyek szerintem, de meg meg akarom nezni, hogy Melbourne mit tartogat ;)

Paddingtonbol Darlinghurstbe mentem a Powerhouse muzeumba ahol pont azt kaptam amire vagytam. Egy neves Ausztral divatfotos munkai es az Ausztral divathet kulisszai moge nyerhettek bepillantast a latogatok 2 szep es erdekes kiallitas kereteben.Az ido most hetvegen amugy is tokeletesen ellentete volt a multkori hajokazosnak, ugyhogy ezt a napot az Isten is muzeumlatogatasra teremtette :P

A nap nagyon jol telt, de faraszto is volt, es este elegge elhuzodott a mozi, ugyhogy vasarnap reggel amikor bamultam a szurke eget a reggeli mellol, ugy gondoltam, hogy jooooo kis kanapenulos vasarnapnak nezunk elebe amikor alaposan betamadom Annette magazingyujtemenyet. Hat igen, ehelyett madartamadasos, megazos, dzsungelbeneltevedos bokortura lett belole amire egy olyan pillanat adta az indittatast amikor pont kisutott a nap, de amikor mar 2 km-re voltam a haztol akkor persze leszakadt az eg :D Hat nem baj, ilyen is kell, ugyis lattam mar magam elott a gozolgo teat vagy forrcsokit amibol aztan megint nem lett semmi mert ahogy hazaertunk ,deadtam a derekam, hogy elmenjek a kornyek kultikus hoteljebe a Hotel Oaks-ba hogy megnezzem a fantasztikus Ausztral rugby liga grandiozus dontojet. Igen....18 perc mulva intettem le az buszt hazafele.

A hetvege azonban meg nem ert veget, mert tegnap azaz hetfon "a munka napja" volt, ami teljesen egyertelmuen, ahogy a nevebol is adodik, munkaszuneti unnepnap errefele. Igy elmentunk egy ettermbe ebedelni ott Mosmanben mert Annettnek 60. szuletesnapja volt.Mondta, hogy o elete vegeig 59en fogja magat szamontartani viszont ez jo urugy volt arra hogy egy kozeli obolmenti etterembe toltsuk a napot :P
Mindenki nagyon elfaradt ettol a megerolteto programtol, ugyhogy en a nap hatralevo reszeben project runwayt es Aviatort neztem....meg neha a szemhelyamat belulrol.... :P


Australia´s "stolen" generation - Ausztralia "ellopott" nemzedeke

Indigineous man playing the dijeridou in the Sydney harbour accompanied by techno music :) / Aboriginal ferfi jatszik a dzsideridun a Sydney kikotoben techno zene kiserettel :)

Since uploading the new pictures takes a lot of time today as well, and it didn´t come together yesterday either, I thought that I write a new post because there are some 40 people who follow this blog on a regular basis and most of them have already clearly expressed that the posts are coming to rarely :)) So here we go, there is an intersting thing about the Australian history what is not so commonly known outside if Australia.

The stolen generation mean ca. 100.000 aboriginal children who were taken from their families between the 1880 and 1960 and were put into orphanages or were given to foster families. Back then it was a very important part of the Australian state policy because they were convinced that they help aboriginal children this way to be more integrated into society and to escape from powerty. The biggest reason was though that the Australians thought that the aboriginal "race" will eventually die out. This in some way was an experiment and historians started to attack it around the 1980s for the first time. They started to tell storie coming from the stolen children who said that they were beaten and raped and couldn´t cope with the loss of their families. According to many historians the policy of wrenching a child from his family has wrecked the lives of the next 3 generation.

However there are some aboriginals who are happy that they were brough up by a white family. A lawyer said that thank to his white foster family he could have a secure childhood and could enjoy all the same priviliges as the white kids such as getting a proper education f. ex.

Well, I haven´t talked to aboriginals since I´m here yet, because here are not so many here in Sydney but I have heard that alcoholism is a big problem in the indigineus society and most of the time they can not escape powerty.

Mivel tegnap is ma is rengeteg idomet es foleg turelmemet veszi igenybe az uj kepek feltoltese, ugy gondoltam irok egy kis erdekesseget Ausztralia tortenelmerol amit az ausztralokon kivul kevesen tudnak. Nagyjabol 40 ember van aki rendszeresen koveti ezt a blogot es tobben rendszeresen kifejezik "rosszallasukat" az uj posztok kozott eltelt hosszu ido miatt :)) Ezert amig az oldal kuzd az uj kepekkel, lassuk mirol is van szo.

Az ellopott generacio korulbelul 100.000 aboriginal gyereket jelent, akiket 1880 es 1960 kozott szakitottak el a csaladjaiktol, es adtak oket nevelootthonba vagy feher nevelocsaladokhoz. Az egesz 1930 korul tetozott es akkor az allami politika fontos reszeul volt szamontartva, mert az ausztralok ugy gondoltak, hogy ezzel "megmentik" az oslakos gyerekeket a kilatastalan elettol, mert ugy hittek, hogy az oslakos "faj" elobb utobb ugyis ki fog halni. Kicsit olyan volt ez az egesz mint egy kiserlet, es az 1980-as evekben kezdek eloszor megkerdojelezni ennek a politikanak a letjogosultsagat. Torteneszek szerint az oslakos gyerekeket rendszeresen vertek, keptelenek voltak feldolgozni az anyjuk elveszteset es egy ido utan identitas krizis jelentkezett naluk, mert mar sem az aboriginal sem a feher ausztral tarsadalomba nem tudtak beilleszkedni. Egyes torteneszek szerint az aboriginal gyerekek kiszakitasa a csaladjaikbol megpecsetelte az elkovetkezo 3 generacio sorsat.

Vannak viszont olyan oslakosok is akik orulnek, hogy annak idejen feher nevelocsaladokhoz kerultek. Egy ugyved azt mondta, hogy feher csaladjanak koszonhetoen biztonsagos korulmenyek kozott nohetett fel es mindazokban a kivaltsagokban reszesulehetett mint a feher gyerekek, mint peldaul a jo szinvonalu oktatas es igy sokkal jobb starott vett az eletben.

Hat en nem beszelgettem meg oslakosokkal amiota itt vagyok, mert Sydneyben nincsenek sokan, de azt tudom, hogy az alkohol komoly problemat jelent es altalaban nem tudnak kiemelkedni a szegenysegbol.

new stuff is coming very soon I promise

New post is coming very soon, I wont go anywhere after work but take off with the ferry and go home and wriiiiiiiiiite!

Uj kepek jonnek hamarosan, mar tegnap meg akartam csinalni, de aztan mashogy alakult!De ma melo utan nem kalandozom semerre hanem huzok a komppal haza es irok igerem!!!!

Just another nice week :)

I'm sorry, that it took so long to write this time, but during the week not much happened, but then the weekend was busy enough not to have enough time or energy to write a proper new post:) It actually take a long time until the photoes get uploaded and I got home to late every evening to have the patience to wait for it.
So here is the story of the last days: As I already wrote earlier, I chaned to Sydney University, where I basically have to write a research protocol. This team is working on a research project about palliative care, and they are in the very initial phase yet. First they want to carry out a systematic review of reelvant literature and other studies but these reviews have to be done in a certain way. You have to put together this protocol what is actually the plan how you want to do your research and what are the inclusion and exclusion criterias for other studies etc....it's not really easy since what they ask me is basically to tell THEM how they will have to make this research what I won't even take part in, but I don't mind doing it....I mean they know that I have never written such thing so they will probably change it a bit then...

This university is different from the other already when you look at the buildings. Since this is the oldest univesrity in Australia, it has a more European feeling and it takes after Oxford and Cambridge a little bit especially with the grass tennis courts which are just next to these buildings.






I like these old buildings, and as you can see there is a lot of nature everywhere on this campus. / A Sydney egyetem nagyon kulonbozik az elozotol marcsak ami az epuletek stilusat is illeti. Mivel ez volt az elso egyetem Ausztraliaban, sokkal regebbiek a fo epuletek es kicsit Oxford jellegu az egesz campus foleg a fivesitett teniszpalyakkal. A masik ami nagyon tetszik, hogy rengeteg a noveny mindenhol ahogy ez a fent kepen is latszik.

So the week was passed by on the uni and then on saturday we woke up to beautiful sunshine and it was so warm that it would have been a crime to stay at home. Fortunately David has a friends whose dad used to have a marina and they have a boat so they came to pick us up on Balmoral beach and we went out to Middle harbour and dropped anchor at a nice little beach. It was David, his Friend Paul, his friend Will and Will's sister Vicky and their mum Frenny. Now this Frenny is a one of a kind woman that's for sure. She talks more than anybody I have ever known, hereby I also think of my mother, so those who know my mum can now probably tell already that the other 5 people didn't get to much word on that boat that saturday :D She showed a huge interest in my job in Denmark and how I ended up here. The interesting thing about thi family is that the husband is the first Australian astronaut (!) and now he works for the CIA and live in Washington D.C...



Waiting for the boat in Balmoral beach marina to pick us up on last saturday / A hajonkra varva a Balmoral beach kikotoben



The guys, Paul in black, David and Will in the blue-red cap / Paul a feketeben akie a hajo, David es Will a kek piros sapkaban akinek az apukaja volt az elso Ausztral urhajosok egyike es jelenleg a CIA-nal dolgozik Washingtonban.....


Anyways, it was very amusing and we practically spent the whole day on the boat. Then had a nice dinner - Annette is a very good cook, it's always so delicious whatever she cooks - and met up with David's sis Anna, but the party was far not good as the one we had in Ivy so we just headed home around midnight and talked until 3 in the living room what was not a problem for David because he stayed in bed until 2 in the afternoon on sunday but I had an agreement to get picked up at 9 in the next morning what was a bit painful to be honest :))) But it was sooooo worth it!! :) We went to small animal farm what is a lot smaller than Taronga was and you can pat the animals because some of them just run around free :D So, my old wish came true and I could hug a koala and became friends with a canaroo as well :D

Here we are:




One of the rare moments when koalas don't sleep !!!! :) They are just adorable and so fluffy and soft!!! You gotta entertain them with some new eucalyptus snack to show interest in staying awake :D / Ritka pillanatok egyike amikor a koala nem alszik : ))) Muszaly oket egy kis friss eukaliptusz uzsonnaval szorakoztatni hogy erdekeltek legyenek az ebren maradasban :D



But then we couldn´t avoid destiny and my buddy decided to go back to his normal daily routine :P / De aztan nem tuduk elkerulni a vegzetet, es Freddy ugy dontott hogy eleg ebbol a szertelenul aktiv eletbol es visszatert a mar jol bevalt napi rutinhoz vagyis az alvashoz :)

But it didn´t matter because there were others who still showed interst in me and the delicious snack I picked up at the entrance / De nem baj, mert voltak masok akik tovabbra is eleg erdeklodest mutattak irantam es ugy 2 gomboc " kenguru jegkrem" irant




We became good friends finally and though to spend the rest of the time together in the Zoo :)) / A "fagyi" megtette a hatasat es a haver ugy dontott, hogy egy ideig nem tagit, igy egyutt nezegettuk a furcsa Ausztral allatokat :D


I was picked up by Laci who was born in Hungary but came here when he was 10. After this close experince with the animals what I absolutely loved, some other Hungarians joined us and we drove along the south coast and then had a nice picnic lunch on a beach.They are so nice people, I enjoyed their company a lot, they ask me many questions about Hungary and I just felt really comfortable when I was with them. I hope to keep contact to them in the future.



Driving my corvette along the coast hehe :P / Laci turkizkek corvettje velem a volan mogott nagyon nepszeru volt a 40 fos kinai turistacsapa koreben, es aztan ok is pozoltak mellette mutatva az elengedhetetlen "victory" jelet....valamiert az azsiai emberek keptelenek annelkul egyetlen foton is odaallni hogy ne mutatnak ezt a jelet.....


The Hungarians from left to right: Robi, Me, Natalie, David, Laci and his wife Mary and ther other Laci :)




We were driving along a long long bridge where people put locks which have some message or other, for them meaningful things carved on them. This is for my mum who is No 1 indeed:)) / A hidon amin vegivezettunk az oceanpart mellett egy csomo lakat van odalakatolva amire kis uzeneteket vagy szamuka egyeb, jelentoseggel biro dolgokat vesnek az emberek. Talatam egyet ami nekem is nagyon tetszett :) No 1 anyu!

Then after coming home from this pretty packed day we had dinner at home with Anna and her boyfriend Jordy and then I went for a walk on the beach. One of my favorite places is the restaurant what used to be the beacher´s pavilion a long time ago. It just looks so good and the food is excellent!



So this was the weekend and on monday I still went to the other university to sit into the lecture and then I met up with David, and his boss Steve and Alex and another guy Tim in their regular bar in a hotel where they drink some beers after work. I like to hang out with them from time to time because they are really entertaining, and this evening was especially fruitful. I somehow managed to cone Steve into taking us to a really exclusive club next week, so sing in a karaoke bar and here comes the highlight:cook Hungarian gulash soup and German Knödel! :D David couldn´t believe how this could happen, so now I have high expectations from this friday!
Today we wer eabout to go to the Sydney Art Gallery but it´s a bit chilly now in the evening, what is good for me because at least I can finish this blog post :)
Alright, so this happened lately, and every day it hits me more and more and I have so little time left here :(((( I really got to like this place!Well, I guess it´s not hard because I get the best from everything what I still can not believe how it could work out this fortunately!Anyways, I still try to keep on making the most of my time but regarding that I have been pretty much everywhere around here what is worth to see, Melbourne is the next big thing next weekend.

Tehat probaltam korabban is mar hirt adni magamrol de valahogy mindig nagyon keson ertem haza es aztan nem volt energiam meg turelmem megvarni hogy feltoltodjenek a kepek. Nem tudom, hogy ez az oldal vagy a net lassusaga miatt van e, de eleg sok idobe telik.
Mindegy, szoval egesz mult heten ahogy mar irtam, a Sydney egyetemen voltam, ahol a feladatom az, hogy egy kutatasi protokolt irjak. Ez azt jelenti, hogy van ez a projekt ami egy csomo kutatast igenyel mas hasonlo kutatasi eredmenyek utan, es ennek egy meghatarozott menete van az ilyen tudomanyos munkak eseten annak erdekeben hogy az kesobb publikalhato legyen. Namost nekem kell elojonnom azzal hogy ez az elokutatas milyen modon legyen kivitelezve, ami eleg erdekes mert meg eletemben nem cisnaltam ilyet, de mindegy, jo tapasztalat :))
Szoval azt mar kicsit feljebb is irtam, hogy egeszen mas a legkor mint a masik egyetemen, de az emberek itt is baratsagosak.
A hetvege egyszeruen tokeletes volt, nagyon szep napsuteses szombatra ebredtunk es nagy hiba lett volna otthon maradni. Igy mi elterveztuk, hogy ki kene menni hajoval kicsit ide az egyik obolbe es Davidnek van is egy haverja akinek az apjanak korabban kikotoje volt es van egy hajojuk, igy miutan ezt a programot ilyen remekul kitalaltuk, ertesitettuk ot is hogy akkor arra gondolnank, hogy igazan idejohetne Balmoral beach-re es felvehetne minket. Hat mondjuk nem sokat kellett goyzkodni ugyhogy mar fel egykor a hajon voltunk. Szoval volt David, en, Paul akie a hajo, egy haverja Will, annak a novere Vicky meg az anyjuk Frenny akinel tobbet nem hiszem hogy barki is kepes beszelni beleertve anyukamat is ,es akik ismerik ot most pontosan tudjak, hogy Frenny akkor milyen teljesitmenyre kepes! :P Egyszeruen nem birta befogni, es hatalmas erdeklodest mutatott az irant, hogy en en Annette mivel foglalkozunk valamint hogy en mivel foglalkoztam Daniaban, de egyfolytaban csak kerdezett es a valaszra tulajdonkeppen nem nagyon adott lehetoseget :D Nem baj, jo volt az ido, horgonyt vetettunk egy kellemes kis obolben, volt etel ital, szoval senki nem igazan banta hogy Frenny 15 percig nem vesz levegot. Ha esetleg elfelejtesz elemozsiat vinni magaddal es mar kint vagy a vizen, semmi sincs veszve, mert kis motorcsonakok cirkalnak a hajok korul meglehetosen jol felszerelve sorrel es jegkremmel :D
Szoval ezzel nagyjabol el is telt a nap aztan talalkoztunk Annaval es elmetunk veluk bulizni de nem igazan tudta az este megismetelni az anno Ivy-s elmenyt, szoval gondoltuk ami nem megy nem kell eroltetni, szoval atsetaltunk a nagy hidon es hazajottunk aztan ejjel 3ig beszelgettunk Daviddel. Hat amit az elso napokban nem mondott el, azt most bepotolja a kobon....:) Neki nem volt problema mert delutan 2ig nem kelt fel, de nekem jelenesem volt a haz elott mar reggel 9kor, ami nagy megeroltetes aran jott csak ossze, de az vezerelt, hogy ma akkor is koalat fogdosok majd. Elmentunk egy masik vadaspark fele helyre ami sokkal kisebb mint Taronga de egy csomo allat csak ugy szabadon jon megy mint ahogyan az a kepen is latszik :D A koala es a kenguru abszolut csucs, imadnivaloak es nagyon puha, bolyhos bundajuk van.
Aztan vegigvezettunk a deli part menten es piknikeztunk egy kellemes strandon. A magyarok alatt egy olyan csaladot ertek, ahol a szulok magyarorszagon szulettek, de 56ban meg gyerekkorukban elhagytak az orszagot es az o gyerekeik mar itt szulettek, de kb beszelnek magyarul. Az, hogy oket megismertem, egy hatalmas szerncsenek koszonheto de azt hiszem ezt a sztorit mar mindenki ismeri. Mindegy, szoval nagyon jo veluk lenni, nagyon kevesek es erdeklodoek, szoval igazan jol ereztem magamat.MEg biztosan talalkozom majd veluk amig meg itt vagyok.
Hetfon megint beultem az eloadasra a masik egyetemen aztan utana csatlakoztam a szokasos David-Steve-Alex bagazshoz, meg meg volt egy uj resztvevo is most, Tim. Altalaban - ami azt jelenti, hogy nagyjabol minden nap - megisznak egy par sort munka utan es neha csatlakozom hozzajuk mert eleg szorakoztatoak. Es a hetfoi alkalom kulonosen gyumolcsozo volt, mert David meg most sem tudja elhinni de sikerult a fonoket ravennem hogy elvigyen minket egy masik nagyon jo helyre bulizni, hogy jovo heten enekeljen egy karaoke barban es most jon a het egyik fenypontja:penteken magyar gulyaslevest fog fozni nekunk nemet "knödel"-lel, merhogy felig nemet!Nnnnna, erre nagyon kivancsi leszek!Mindegy, most mar nem tud kihatralni ebbol :D
Ma este ugy volt hogy lemegunk a Sydney muveszeti galeriaba es utana vacsizni a varosban de kicsit csipos lett az ido, igy most megvarjuk amig David vegez a nagy rugby dontojevel, es akkor helyben elmegyunk vacsizni valahova. Jobb is ez igy, mert igy tenyleg vegre be tudtam fejezni ezt a "riportot" :)

The boss you WANT to have :D

I already tried to upload new pictures during the weekend, but we have problems with the net at home. Again....anyways, the adventage of this is that I can write this blog with a nice New York cheesecake á la Starbucks :))
So last week was a lof of fun!!!! I was on the uni from monday to thursday again and since that was my last day on the UNSW we decided to go for a lunch together with all the people from the office. We went to an Indonesian restaurant and we had a tapas kind of lunch going on. We just oredered a lot of different courses and everybody took what she wanted. It was excellent!! I can make this statement that I like Indo food!And I got my official Univerity of New South Wales mug :D They were so sweet, I got this as a present and everybody wrote a card for me with all good wishes!It was just a really nice feeling, because I don´t know these people very well and not even for a long time, but we got on really well from the very beginning and it´s just crazy how fast you can build up little firendships here!So here they are:



From right to left: the guy how became a bit white vamire-like :D is Denny, a Scotman who is very academic and funny, then Vivien from China, then Me, then Nico from Indonesia, then Sam from Aus, then Michael who is Australian but with Chinese origin as well and Michelle, Nico´s sister / Bucsuebed, jobbrol balra : a kisse vampirosan feheren virito Denny, Vivien, En, Nico, Sam, Michael es Michelle

Undoubtly thursday was the best day of last week. Not only the day, but especially the evening. After wondering around in the city after my lunch I went home to change because I had a party invitation to the IVY bar, what is the most sought after place in Sydney now. David´s company organized a function there for like 200 people so they were there already since noon. I got there around 7 in the evening and the mood was already quite gooooooood :D That evening was a blast!!!!I was with DAvid, his boss Steve and a guy from the office called Alex and we were dancing all the time!Not only me, but all the 3 guys as well!And David´s boss is just unbelievable!!He is a 44 years old guy and he dances there with us through the whole night!Not to mention the fact that everything was on the house = him :D and the final bill of the evening was 800 dollars!But apparently it didn´t bother him!:D Anyways, it was one of the greatest nights I have had lately.

The next day I was free from any obligations and after so much moving I decided that I deserve a little relaxation so I went down to the beach what is just at the end of our street basically.



Az attancolt ejszaka utan jol megerdemelt pihenesem toltom a strandon az utca vegen.

:) But this one day was enough to relax and in the weekend I was already looking forward to some adventure.
I decided to go to the Blue Mountains what is a really spectacular mountain area around Sydney, well it takes good 1,5 hours to drive there. There is a rock called the 3 sisters and the story behind is that there were 3 sisters who were escaping from an evil witch and they were turned into a rock so that the witch couldn´t find them.
So here they are :)



3 sisters escaping from the witch / A 3 nover legendaja - menekules a boszorkany elol



How it looks in reality. If you look at the picture really closely, you can see a tiny white spot on the left side of the rock on the left.That is a person on a bridge and I was on the that bridge as well. / Es a valosagos verzio - kisse kevesbe mozgalmas valtozat :) Ha nagyon kozelrol nezel a kepre, latsz egy icipici feher pottyot a legbaloldali "nover" szikla baloldalan. Az egy ember egy hidon ami meglehetosen magasan van, igy persze, hogy oda is el kellett mennunk :)



So this is that bridge, those 2 spots on the left picture are we. The guy who is standing next to me is Robert, whose parents are Hungarians but he was born here so he doesn´t speak that much but definitely understands a lot. / Szoval a bal kepen az a ket kicsi potty mi vagyunk. Mellettem a srac Robi, akinek a szulei magyarok de o mar ittkint szuletett, es nem sokat beszel magyarul de mindent ert.

Now, it was not only Robi in the Blue Mountains with limited Hungairan knowledge.



This guy next to me could also say thank you in Hungairan :D / Nem Robi volt az egyetlen, aki tanubizonysagot tett limitalt magyartudasarol a kek hegyekben. A mellettem lathato ur is tudja azt mondani, hogy "KOZONOM" :D
On sunday I was still up to some fun so we drove like 2 hours to see the pelikan feeding. These birds are really funny, creepy :P and scary in the same time. They know exactly that at 3:30 they get food so they start to gather already half an hour before and just wait there.




Competing for the fresh fishheads / A delutan fel 4-es turnus tolong a friss halfejert

I was a bit afraid when passing by because that bird what has a red arrow above its head was constantly checking out my floss candy. That pink thing in the plastic bag :)))Bit it still tasted very good and childhood-like :) / Egy kicsit feltem elmenni mellettuk, mert a piros nyillal jelzett egyed folamatosan az en vattacukromat fixirozta!!Igen, az a pink cucc a zacskoban vattacukor :)))))

So undoubtly thursday was the highlight of the week, but all in all I had another very actionfull 7 days :)

Mar korabban is fel akartam tolteni a kepeket a hetvegen, de gondjaink voltak a nettel..megint, nem baj, most igy ejjel fel 1-kor nagyon jol megy :)
Szoval kis kiegesziteskeppen a fenti kepekhez : hetfotol csutortokig az egyetemen voltam, es mivel csutortok volt az utolso napom, elmentunk a tobbiekkel egy indonez ettermbe ebedelni. MEg kellett allapitanom, hogy szeretem az indonez kajat. Igazabol egy amolyan indonez tapas ebedunk volt, mert Nico aki indonez pontosan tudta hogy mik a jo fogasok es abbol mind rendeltunk es mindenki azt vett amit akart. Kaptam egy hivatalos egyetemi bogret es egy kepeslapot is amire mindenki irt jokivansagokat, aminek nagyon nagyon orultem :) Igaz, hogy keves idot toltottem ott, de megis nagyon jo volt, az elso pillanattol fogva nagyon befogadtak, ugyhogy ennek a kis ajandeknak kulon orultem.
Utana maszkaltam kicsit a varosban majd hazamentem atoltozni mert este meghivasom volt az Ivy barba ami ahogy a kepen is latszik, nem a szereny kategoriaba tartozik. 4 emeltes, design-dijat nyert hely, ahol van etterem, ilyen meg olyan szoba, medence a legfelos szinten, alul meg a tancter az egyik barral. Az apropo az volt, hogy a ceg ahol David dolgozik, rendezett ott egy eloadast amire tobb szaz embert hivak meg, es amugy is surun jarnak oda. En este 7re erkeztem, ok mar del ota ott voltak, ugyhogy a hangulat mar igencsak kellemesnek volt mondhato :D igy alighogy leultem mar fel is kertek tancolni es vegul egesz ejszaka roptuk mind a negyen a fonokot is beleertve aki 44 eves es valaki meg is jegyezte, hogy a nagypapak menjenek haza :D de ez ot egyaltalan nem zavarta es toretlen hangulattal szorakozott tovabb es akkor sem rebbent a szeme amikor a negyunk fogyasztasanak cehhjet kellett kiegyenliteni ami 800 dollarra rugott.....hat ilyen ez :D Mindenestre ez volt a legjobb esteim egyike mostanaban :)
Ezert penteken ugy dontottem, hogy a strandon pihenem ki az attancolt ejszaka faradalmait :) Ez a strand az utca vegen van, es amiket eddig alttam, azok kozul nekem ez tetszik a legjobban. Tiszta, nincs tolongas, eleg nagy es kozelebb alig lehetne.
Azert szombaton mar mehetnekem volt valamerre, es igy a kek hegyek fele vettuk az iranyt. Az ott talalhato 3 nover szikla amiert letobben odamennek, es a legenda az, hogy volt 3 nover akiket egy gonosz varazslo meg akart olni, es menekulniuk kellett, es mar majdnem utolerte oket,amikor sziklava valtoztak, es igy nem a gonosz varazslo kapta el oket. Vegeredmenyben nem tudom, hogy igy miert jartak jobban... :) Mindegy, nagyon szep videk volt, es a magyarul beszelo oslakos is jo benyomast tett ram :D
Vasarnap pelikanetetesre mentunk ahol fel 4kor mar gyulekezett egy nepes pelikancsapat, es volt akinek nem csak halra fajt a foga hanem kis vattacukorra is :D
Ej, jo het volt ez is :))

It´s impossible to get enough of Sydney :)

I haven´t posted anything since my last post because I thought I would wait until I go somewhere again, because I was on the university the whole week, so I didn´t really had the time to make some exciting trips. It is pretty nice to be there though, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the people I work with, Danny, Anu, Michael and Viven are very friendly. My task is to gather information on what they do in hospitals in Europe and mainly in Scandinavia if possible, when there is an extreme weather event. The main focus is on the design and planning of the buildings of the hospitals, so my task is to find some info on how these extreme weather conditions effect the buildings. So I did this from monday to thursday and on friday I had a free day. Since it started to get warm, I was sure that I didn´t want to sit at home, and decided to go to the opera house because although I pass by there with the ferry every day, I didn´t really go close yet and there is a really cool and huuuuuuuuuuge garden behind it!One of the things what separate Sydney from other waterfront big cities is that here the waterfront is available for the public and not all of it belongs to private properties. This park is extremely popular with basically everybody. The view is fantastic, you can jog, do any kinds of excercises or just hang out, sit on the grass and read.
In the evening I met my firend Gyongyi again and we went to a dinner in a korean restaurant, and again, I was the only not asian person there :))) The food was good, bit spicy for me so I alone drank all the water from the jar what was prepared on the table :) As dessert we had green-tea ice cream! Yes, ther is a japanese-italian ice cream place where you can eat ther regular ice cream but also these exotic ones. Yesterday I had dinner with Anna, David and some other "mates" in an excellent Spanish restaurant and today I decided to go for a 12 km long walk!This rute is very recommended, according to the feedback I read about it it is unmissable if you are in Sydney. I can understand why, the whole path goes along white sandy beaches and very often you have the feeling that your walking in the jungle! :))
And last but definitely not least still on thursday as many of you know it very well, it was the global fashion night out when everything was open for a lot longer as usual and people were hitting the stores. Now here in Sydney women took this initiative really seriously, and it was almost scary what I winessed in David Jones, Sydney´s most famous department store. The other attraction there was the flower exhibition which altered the make-up section into a fairy tale. Live piano music and huuge, exotic flower compositions everywhere! Only this was also worth a visit.
Ok, so let´s see the week in pictures / A het kepekben :)



On this picture above you can probably see that the shapes of the opera house were supposed to symbolize shells and not sails as people usually think. The Danish architect Jørn Utzon was so fed up with all the hassle about the construction that walked away from it and finally died before he would have seen the final work. / Talan ezen a kepen jol latszik, hogy az operahaz alakja eredetileg kagylokat volt hivatott formazni es nem vitorlakat ahogyan azt altalaban gondoljak. A dan epitesznek, Jørn Utzonnak annyira elege lett a sok hercehurcabol az epitkezes meg az engedelyek korul, hogy otthagyta az egeszet es vegul elobb meghalt minthogy lathatta volna az elkeszult operahazat.





The size of the whole domain is some 70 hectars and it is very versatile. The Royal Botanical gardesn have palm grooves, oriental gardens etc... and in the next second that park gives a real jungle feeling with dense vegatation and huge plants. / Az egesz terulet merete kb. 70 hektar es nagyon valtozatos. Sok helyen egyenletesen nyirt pazsit van, aztan ott vannak a kulonbozo kertek, amik a kiralyi botanikus kertet alkotjak es megint mashol oriasi novenyek adnak egy kis dzsungelhangulatot.





Many statues can also be found in the park as well as the house of the first governor where the entrance is free and there are guided tours. / Sok szobor is talalhato a parkban valamint az elso kormanyzo rezidenciaja ahova ingyenes a belepes.



The dinner in the korean restaurant / A koreai vacsi amiben elegge nagy volt a kaposztafelhozatal ugyhogy engedtem Gyongyit ervenyesulni...






My trip today :) / A mai turam :)







The David Jones experience :) / David Jones. Csak a viragkompoziciok megertek egy latogatast.



Oh, I almost forgot, this house is for sale, anybody interested? :) / Majdnem elfelejtettem, az a haz elado. Ha valakit erdekel, ne habozzon jelezni vasarlasi szandekat :)

Azert nem toltottem fel hetkozben uj kepeket, mert gondoltam, megvarom amig csinalok valamit. Hetfotol csutortokig az egyetemen voltam es estere altalaban elegge elfaradtam ugyhogy nem igazan maszkaltam semerre nagyon, de a hetvegere mar voltak terveim. Az egyetem amugy nagyon jo, az emberek akikkel egyutt dolgozom, Danny, Micheal, Anu es Viven nagyon aranyosak es a legkor nagyon oldott. Most az a dolgom hogy egy riportot probaljak arrol irni, hogy Europeaban mi tortenik a korhazak epuleteivel akkor, ha valami termeszeti katasztrofa tortenik. Foleg Skandinaviara kell fokuszalnom mivel ok elegge eloljarnak az ilyen kutatasokban es a design teruleten is uttoronek szamitanak. Szoval ezzel voltam elfoglalva, de penteke mar alig vartam, hogy azert megnezhessek valami ujat :P Penteken az ido eleggel felmelegedett es ugy dontottem, hogy elmegyek az operahazahoz, mert igaz, hogy minden nap 2szer elhajozok mellette, igazan kozel nem voltam ott. Mogotte pedig van egy hatalmas park ami nagyon nepszeru, mert igen nagy, es barmit lehet ott csinalni.Sokan futank, tornaznak, tai-chiznek, piknikeznek vagy csak fekszenek egy fa alatt es olvasnak. Az egyik dolog ami Sydney-t megkulonbozteti a tobbi vizparti nagyvarostol az az, hogy itt a partot nem epitettek be es nagyresze hozzaferheto az emberek szamara, es nem mindenhol nyilvanitottak privat terulette ami a draga villakhoz tartozik. Itt vagy 5 orat setaltam, aztan este megint talalkoztam Gyongyivel es elmentunk egy koreai etterembe, ahol megint en voltam az egyetlen nem azsiai kinezetu ember :)))) A kaja jo volt, es allitolag nem tul fuszeres, de azert en egyedul megittem az osszes vizet ami egy kancsoban ki volt keszitve az asztalon. Utana meg elmentunk egy japan-olasz fagyizoba ahol zoldtea fagyit ettunk :) Tegnap este Annaval, Daviddel es meg par emberrel egy nagyon finom tapas barban vacsiztunk, ugyhogy elhataroztam, hogy ma, vasarnap kell mar valami komolyan testedzos programot csinalnom. Nem jo ez igy, miota itt vagyok, tuti, hogy hiztam, de nem birok ellenallni a dolgoknak :)) Szoval kivalasztottam egy 12 km hosszu utvonalat, ami gyonyoru es kihagyhatatlan ha az ember Sydneyben jar. Feher homokos strandokon vezet keresztul es sokszor pedig az az erzese az embernek, hogy a dszungelben jar :D nagyon jo volt.
Vegul, de egyaltalan nem utolsosorban, meg csutortokon volt az amerikai VOGUE magazin altal szervezett globalis vasarlasi nap, amit a Sydney-i nok nagggggggyon komolyan vettek, es meg nekem is neha ijeszto volt amit a David Jonesban, Ausztralia legpatinansabb uzlethazaban muveltek....az aruhaz 25 eves evfordulojaval egybekotott viragkiallitas is erre a napra lett idozitve igy mindenhol elkepeszto viragkompoziciok voltak kiallitva es a kirakatok elott is folyton villogtak a vakuk.
Mindent egybevetve ez sem volt egy unalmas het ;))
