Scotland

See, I 've really tried. Well, I at least thought about the blog from time to time... I guess, however silly that may sound, I just did not have anything I felt writing about. I am sure I have done things and experienced stuff, that would have been fun to look back on but I might have finally learnt my lesson of not putting everything out for the world wide web to see. MIGHT HAVE. Probably did not though. Let us face it I am a 26 years old responsible adult lookalike, who still takes and posts an extreme amount of pointless selfies, listens to random Asian infantlooking dance-musicians and in general have no idea how to effectively use my pseudo hospitality degree. Is the hotel industry my calling? I hope this will not turn into one of those existential crisis posts I have read so many times on blogs. Wait, that was me, Those were my posts. Crap. Back to the point, it has been a little bit more than 6 months since I have moved to Scotland to finally experience living abroad in ...

A marvelous day at the Corinthia Hotel Budapest/Grand Hotel Royal

hey... I know I was supposed to write about it right away, but...OK I have no actual reasons to cover up my lazy ass for not writing this earlier, but if I want to be honest, it is part of the truth that I did spend an awful lot of time with editing the pictures. And when I say edit, I mean clicking on the auto-adjust button multiplied by the number of photos I took. So yeah , does not really explain why it took so long. Also have to tell you that most of my photos came out SHIT so I am also going to cheat and use other sources as well.(Or will I?) Te builidng itself is quite old. The original opening of the hotel dates back to the Millenium (1896) still under the name Grand Hotel Royal. It closed finally in 1991 (my birth year how sad) and waited to be bought by Corinthia in 1999. Luckily the renovation didn't take too long and in 2002 the hotel opened up again to the public under the new name, now belonging to the company Corinthia. Currently there are 440 rooms oppose...

Marriott. Again?

Dear Blog, I have been neglecting you for a while, and I am so terribly sorry about it. However today I have this urge to write again. This time, I will try to leave all the crazy personal shit behind, because let us face it, last time I tried blogging about my personal life and feelings, it just did not come out right, and I sort of hurt people I deeply cared about. The reason I started to feel this way, that made me write again is, that I got my first real hotel job. Not just an intership, not a summer job at a small inn, or at the family business, but a real opportunity to work as a hotelier, earn some real money and motivate myself to finally finish school and start living a life I have always dreamed of. Sort of. The moment my phone rang with the offer/the callback from my supervisor during my internship/ I knew it was different. I have been living off the support my parents provided for 23 years, with occasionally working student jobs paying me almost nothing. I felt secure...
Beautiful day for blogging :) I think sometimes I struggle way too much to actually make sense, because I am inspired by VERY well written blogs, so when I come across a blog that is poorly written and full of nonsense pictures I get the comforting feeling of reassurance. I am not the only one with this urge to write about my life, and photograph anything that moves(or does not move) around me. Although the lack of pictures is disturbing in some of my previous posts. Because that' s the way to go. More pictures, less grammar mistakes. Now that I have that in mind let me write about my successful exam period so far. Miraculously I managed to not only pass my exams up until now but I achieved some incredible( looking at the amount of hours spent with studying) results. Fives and stuff. And teachers praised me. So I started thinking. Am I really that good, or does this tell something more about my teachers. I decided to go with the first(and obvious :D) Tomorrow, we (m...

Happy Saturday! I turned 22 this week and there are some serious problems to be solved this year, I should spend a lot more time networking(but stop being a child and trust everyone because they have pretty eyes) and learn a lot more while my brain is still young. BUT cakepictures first. I neglected not only my studies but the general interest towards the issues of the world started to fade in the past years. Read more, walk more, eat less but eat better. Projects this year: thesis, diploma/degree, guiding, finding peace and balance. I would like to share some photos from the past week, as well. i did a little trip to the northern part of Pest where I got to travel with one the awesome new buses BKV purchased and wow. Although I wonder when some low-life prick who is not satisfied with his life will destroy it. Hope not too soon, because I could get used to this: At last but not least a little Mandarin fun provided by Chinese Word of the day, it is kind of funny ...
