As Paul Anka enters into his 50th year, he is touring around and he will drop by Budapest Tuesday the 5th of August, 19.30. The Paul Anka concert will be held in the Budapest Sportarena, by the Stadionok metrostation (red line).

For tickets for the Paul Anka concert go to eventim.hu.

If Paul Anka is to old fashioned for you, maybe you should read more about the Sziget Festival or the Coldplay concert (the Viva La Vida tour), that will be held in Budapest 23. September.

Just a few hours after we wrote the article yesterday about the bomb that was found in the ninth district of Budapest, the people could start returning to their homes. The bomb with a weight of 2 tonns was safely disarmed. It turned out during the process that it did not have any trigger from which it could blow up. The theories in Budapest today say that they might have disarmed it straight after the Second World War, but after doing so, they just left it in the ground.

This means that everything is back in order today, the traffic is going as normal and everyone has returned to their homes.

If you are interested in more about the history of Budapest and Hungary we recommend our little introuction that can be found here.

Two weeks ago several thousand people had to move out of their homes for quite some hours because they found a bomb in the 13. district of Budapest. Yesterday evening they found an even bigger one (the bomb has a weight of more than two tonns), so today the police is working with getting 16.000 people to leave their homes in the 9. district of Budapest. This is for their own security, in case the disarming of the bomb will not be successful. The bomb was found on the corner by the Vaskapu street and the Tóth Kálmán street.

All the people in the area have not left their homes yet, therefore they have not yet started working with the disarming of the bomb. People have been sent to different places while waiting for something to happen, and almost 500 people could be found in the Orczy Park around 16.00 according to the Hungarian newspaper Népszabadság.

Because of this it can become quite heavy traffic jams this evening and until all the closed roads in the 9. district will be opened again.
