Feel the Love
You may fi nd love in various forms, in various places. There’s a fat
chance you’ve already found it in Budapest, otherwise you probably
wouldn’t spend Valentine’s Day in this fair city of ours. You
gotta love it to live it; and here at FUNZINE we do love the place
to bits. That’s why we went out of our way (again) to show you
what, where, when and how your love for it can grow.
First and foremost, we get you in the mood for romancing. Even
if you’ve been to Városliget a thousand times already, there are
new angles to look at it from and secret paths to walk along while
holding hands. Trust us, the one who accompanies you on this
romantic stroll will love you even when you miss wiping all the
sour cream off your face at the lángos place…
We even help you fi nd the ideal partner for lángosing or dining
at candle light (or whatever constitutes romantic in your books)
with a little help from online dating experts. Read our offers of
herbal remedies and romantic book selection, and you’ll be in
perfect spirit to charm your way to memorable Valentine’s Day.
You might end up going to a hardware store to buy a padlock and
look for a suitable fence to declare your love…
If your soul needs cultural seduction beyond all this straightforward
romancing, meet a conductor and a photographer passionately
in love with their chosen fi elds of promoting contemporary
music and the experimenting with the ancient concept of shadow
versus light.
Are you single and not really bothered by this whole romantic
conundrum? It lasting only for one day is just the fi rst piece of
good news. Carnival season is upon us with all its partying, donut
frying (for the recipes ranging from basics to sophistication, see
our Culinary section on page 47), and, having mastered the art of
pig-sticking in the last issue, eating the fi rst sausages and hurkas
of the year. And that’s a treat whether you’re paired up or not, for
loving someone stuffi ng their face with spicy, garlicky meat and
dripping fat on their chins require love very similar to what you
feel for yourself.
Whatever you do in the next couple of weeks, do it with passion.
Feel the love and feel loved. And if the person you could lay all
your love on hasn’t arrived in your life yet, you still have Budapest
to give you all it’s got. And this love story is to be cherished and
celebrated every single day of the year.
