Putting Up Leaflets by Yorkshireman

Black shoes by Yorkshireman

Hello all I'm back in Budapest to work and I'm in need of some cheap(ish) black shoes to wear. I've had a search of the Mammut and West End shopping centres and have only found Deichmann that was cheap enough, which has a limited range. Can ...

Where to live in Budapest? by Yann415

Hello everyone, Next July I'll be moving to Budapest for my first job (I am a student in business). My office will be located at Forgach u. 9 / b 1139 BUDAPEST, in the middle of XIII, but I understood that it is clearly not where I should live :) ...

Yann Although Fireroller is a resident and I am just a regular visitor at this stage; I must take issue with his dismissal of District II, (Moskva ter/ Szell Kalman ter) in favour of somewhere near Pozsonyi u. because of the distance to your work. ... Read More

I'd suggest the Masodik Kerulet, (district II). It's the nicest area in my opinion, probably the most expensive too; down around near what used to be called Moskve Ter, and the Mammut shopping centre if you want an apartment in a large building and ... Read More

Moving to Budapest - looking for general and business advice. by PaulBart1

I am moving with my family to Europe in a couple of months. I am a UK citizen as is my son. My wife is Thai so she will arrive on a Schengen visa end then we will apply for residency wherever we end up, hopefully Hungary. By way of background so ...

Fantastic, I invest in Government(forint)bonds and receive 8% interest, on which they tax me 20% leaving me a nett of 6.4%. With the official inflation rate in Hungary at around 5.5% I'm not left with much; and that if I can trust the official ... Read More

Thanks Entity and kisalle Aha .... thought it sounded too good to be true, not nearly as attractive. I saw 9% offered by a bank when I was last in Hungary (oct/nov 2011). I think 5% currently available in Australia is a safer bet. Is there income ... Read More

Hello Ikinoki Perhaps there's something lost in the translation as English is clearly not your first language, but you sound just a little bitter. A good number of my Hungarian friends and relatives talk in similar manner about Hungarian politics, ... Read More
