Sziget day -2 (backblip)

Last year me and some friends went to Budapest, Hungary, to visit the Sziget festival, a wonderful week long music festival on an island in the Danube. We had such a good time that we went again this year, and we didn't get disappointed.

Although the line-up was not very good (the festival is having financial problems, it was mainly a bunch of smaller rock bands (like Noah and the Whale, The xx, the Horrors) in comparison to names like Prince, the Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, Chemical Brothers, Flogging Molly in 2011) it was amazing again. The music is one thing but the great atmosphere, good weather and relaxed people are much more important. Where else can you find yourself dancing the sirtaki with some irish guys in a bar at 3 in the night or singing 'Billy Jean' along with an unknown Hungarian before he handkisses you for coming from the Netherlands?

This here is Budapest's main station. We arrived at the festival grounds today but the program didn't start until tomorrow, so we went into town to find a terrace with tv to see Usain Bolt win (of course). I blipped this place last year as well, it's the terrace in the lower right corner.
