laundry

vasslaura — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:23:17 +0000

You can get your laundry done (normal washing&drying, ironing or drycleaning&ironing) at "Nett Gyorstisztító Szalon". Address: Tisza Lajos krt. 40. Tel: +36.62.425-057.

One portion of washing (wash similar colours together...) without ironing is 1200 HUF (about 5 euros), if you get there latest 1pm, you still get your clothes back clean the same afternoon.

Which prepaid SIM card to buy in Hungary?

nir — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:49:36 +0000

Hi,

I have a phone but I'd like to buy just a Hungarian SIM card for it so I can call (within Hungary) and get calls (from abroad).
Any idea which one gives the best value for money?

Thanks for an answer.

For detailed information and images on how-to, check http://szepark.hu/english/index.htm

General outline:

1. buy parking ticket in designated shops/kiosks, for different tickets and system plz check above links
2. find parking place, park
3. validate your ticket

or only for Hungarian T-Mobile mobile phone subscribers:
see http://szepark.hu/index.htm for sending sms as a way of buying your ticket.

Make sure you park with ticket, the fines start with 7.000 HUF and triple after 8 calendar days...

Still don't have a room! Help!

Unfortunately, it is just today that my work schedule has been finalized and I found out that I can go to the DrupalCon.

BUT....there are no available rooms anymore. I called the hotels/motels listed here without any luck.

If you have a room to share, please please contact me before Sunday.

Thanks!

Budapest to Szeged on the train: the meetup thread

joachim — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:45:11 +0000

We've been saying in IRC how it would be cool to try and figure out who's going to be on which train from Budapest to Szeged so we can meet up if we're on the same one.

So here goes.

I will probably be on the 13:57 from Budapest.

Hi,

I fly back from Budapest on monday. That means I have two days to fill in Hungary.

Is anyone going to travel to Lake Balaton?

Alternatively, who is staying in Budapest after the con?
