Au coeur de la vieille Europe, la Hongrie, lieu de rencontre des cultures ottomane et occidentale, séduit par l'extrême diversité et la richesse de son patrimoine historique, architectural et gastronomique: le filet de boeuf à la Napoléon, la goulash, le chou farci, le poulet au paprika, l'os à la moelle, le sandre grillé, la bouillabaisse de Szeged, les millefeuilles et les strudels farcis… Rares sont les plats où il n'y a pas une petite touche de paprika. Cette épice a fait son apparition dans la cuisine magyare au XIXe siècle. Aujourd’hui, les meilleures variétés de piments doux servant à la fabrication du paprika proviennent de Szeged et de Kalocsa, dans le sud de la Hongrie, où les champs couleur de feu s’étendent à perte de vue dans les plaines.

Pioneer railway There was a time when a school trip in spring could not be anything else but a trip by the Budapest Pioneer Railway (today Children’s Railway). The line goes in the mountains from Széchényihegy Station to Hűvösvölgy Station. The train’s abilities aren’t similar to the TGV’s performance, but it’s inevitably legendary. Travellers may see such sights on its way as the Elisabeth Lookout Tower, the Bátori Cave or the Budakeszi Wildlife Park. Ice cream vendors and playgrounds have always waited for visitors, but recently the area has been developed even more.

They not only had fun, but sometimes pioneers had to prove their sense of responsibility with keeping some kind of mascot animal, e.g. a breed of silkworms. Every troop had its own habits here and there, but it was compulsory duty to take care of the garden of their school. Older children helped the elderly after school and this kind of good deeds was marked in the patrol diary. All teams had a battle-cry: it was the symbol of friendship.
