The meaning of the city’s name is „Sixty” in Hungarian. It is located exactly 60 kms away from Budapest. It takes 60 minutes to get here by train from Budapest. Hatvan is a city since 60 years. But: the name is not given to the city because of any of these!

Don’t forget!
Hi, my name is … I won’t tell you! I love to tell people what I value and what I really like about them. I love to cook meals of different cuisines of the world. My passion is travelling and learning languages. I never eat fast food! But, if you want to make my day sweet, get me a huge cup of frozen yogurt with many fruits and chocolate, cause that’ what I’m fond of !
Saturday night, we are going to have a 60s party - Bring your 60s outfit, show your individuality and dance to the music of those ages!
Hey ladies and gentlemen, I am your beloved staff, Mr. X! When I am not busy on planning how to destroy the world I usually play the piano and listen to music. So if you think I may like music, you won! If you want to scare the hell out of me you just have to show me any type of insects and heart attack is guaranteed for me! I love any kind of arts and CISV camps, so get ready for a great fun! Heeey, so I would be “beeeeeeep”. I love discovering new things in life. I’m kind of a TV series fan, SPN. I like motorsports, my fav is F1 and of course Kimi is the best, no place of argument, so…that would be me. Oh, and yeah I don’t like watermelon… Hey, let me introduce myself, I am a kind of person who really likes creative and interesting things such as arts. I love doing sports, mainly swimming and dancing. If you would please me, just give me anything in connection with turtles, ohhh and don’t scare me with toasters, cause I hate them! (and they hate me!) Hi guys, my name is Hfudjvlarpznqiyo. Just kidding! The first thing about me is that I play soccer since 7th grade. That's my favorite, but I like any kind of sport. I want to make a stand for something: chess is NOT a sport. I'm addicted to series such as HIMYM, Gossip Girl, Bones, Dr House, CSI and I could line up a lot more. I love eating, you'll see. And my future plan is travelling around the world!
The Content Staff! Christina once got lost in the Amazon, somewhere in the middle of nowhere between Peru, Brazil and Colombia. Dor once practiced Kung Fu with a Shaolin monk. Hannes is big fan of salt - nothing is too salty. Ola has been to 24 countries, but never outside Europe. Still a lot ahead of me! Anjo once got a job offer to be a pirate.
