Budapest, 1960. The background to this photo isn’t entirely clear, but it is part of a fascinating series of photos from the Budapest Police’s criminal investigation department. My guess is that these three lads were caught with black market goods. They look so young - and more than a little scared.

Budapest, 1981. A quilt maker stands in the doorway of her shop in the capital's District XIII. Hungarian goose feathers have always been highly prized in the making of pillows and quilts.
@fulelo Please don’t apologise - you have made my day :-). The first market we visited in 1997 was the one at Lehel. I had never see anything like it before. I would visit it whenever I was in the area. The smell of the vats of pickled cabbage were quite something, not to mention the rows of hanging salamis in the shops. Of course it is “better” now and always worth a visit - but the old market had a vitality that’s hard to find these days.
A generation ago, Hungarians turned out en masse in their capital of #Budapest to joyfully shed the grip of the Soviet Union.
But fast forward to today: #Hungary has emerged—in the view of Washington and #Brussels—as the biggest troublemaker inside #NATO, with moves such as opposing sanctions against #Russia for its war on Ukraine and delaying #Sweden’s entry into the Atlantic alliance.
Wie die @AntifaPinneberg berichtet, haben Kader der Jungen Alternative am diesjährigen "Tag der Ehre" in #Budapest teilgenommen. Die Veranstaltung ist Treffpunkt zahlreicher Neonazis zu Ehren der SS.
Die JA-Kader waren vorher und nachher maßgeblich an Demos und Zusammenkünften der AfD, z.B. in Neumünster, beteiligt, wie auch der Account "Afa Nord" auf einem anderen Social Network berichtet.
We're gonna do a short trip to #Budapest (and northern #Hungary) later this month.
This might be a long shot, but does anyone know any good Hotels with parking facility (ideally with charging stations) in #Budapest?
@yourfutureex I don't expect charging stations there. There is one where our grandma lives (MOL), I plan to juice up there, that worked last time (after we chased away the idiots who parked there with their dinosaur car).
Budapest, 1977. Early signs of Hungarian-Swedish links :-) A young Hungarian admiring some Swedish technology in the form a Volvo car. The car itself is registered in Switzerland, but is parked outside a fish restaurant in Budapest's XIII District. Note also the relief, from 1942, on the building entitled, "Work and Peace" - which may sum up the current state of the Swedish-Hungarian relationship.
