Australianna

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 ;)

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".



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 :))

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:)

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.....


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 ;)


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.

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.
