Torkos csütörtök in Budapest

Torkos csütörtökI first heard of this event some years ago, but for those who like to visit restaurants, it is a great thing! Torkos csütörtök (throaty Thursday) is the last day when you are allowed to eat meat before the big “fast” starts among the catholics, leading all the way to easter. Celebrating this restaurants around in Budapest give 50% discount on food and drinks on that day every year. The date may change, but it is always on a Thusday.

Iron Maiden concert in Belgrade

Iron Maiden Serbia BelgradeLast summer Iron Maiden visited Budapest during the Sziget Festival. Now they are coming to this area again, but not to Hungary. They will start their “Somewhere back in time tour” in 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia, and then continue on to Dubai from there. After that they will visit Bangalore, Auckland, Mexico City, Bogota and other interesting cities around the world.

How they ended up starting it all in Belgrade I do not know, but I guess many people would like to go there to hear Iron Maiden again.
