Budapest Christmas Market pictures

Posted on December 8, 2008 by Budapest Guide

Yet another we have been out with our camera making some pictures from the Christmas markets in Budapest. This time we not only visited the Vörösmarty Square, but also the Jokai Tér/Liszt Ferenc Tér by Oktogon. The weather forecasts tell us that there might be some snow later this week, and that it will be quite a lot colder than in the previous week, so be aware!

Whats up with James Bond?

Posted on December 8, 2008 by Budapest Guide

Some weeks ago I mentioned in the blog that James Bond was going to have its premier in the cinemas of Budapest. Yesterday I was able to see the film myself, and I watched it with very low expectations. The reason was that I really did not like Casino Royale, and Daniel Craig was a way too brutal James Bond for me.

But, somehow the Quantum of Solace was much better than Quantum of Solace, at least in my oppinion. He is still quite brutal, but as I watched it, I still enjoyed this film much more than Casino Royale. It must be said that it is starting to look much more like a pure action film than a James Bond, since Q is not in the film, he is not introducing himself as “Bond, James Bond”, and it is no more “Shaken, not stirred”. But as an actionfilm I enjoyed the 1 hour and 40 minutes the film lasted!
