Dear origamists and friends!
I would like to spend some time and inform you about convention in Hungary. I hope, it should not be bromidic.
Our Czech squad went from Praha to Budapest by night train. We visited turkish bath in Budapest; not turistically popular Szechenyi spa but historic Lukacs spa at Budin quarter. Swimming in 20 C water is really fresh but thermal bath with 40 C water in historic turkish spa-building is perfect experience. This possibility is not on the "west side".
We arrived to Kecskemet in long afternoon. We lived at student hostel and when we went to dinner, our lift stopped somewhere between second and first floor... Again nice experience and waiting sequence.
Whole convention was at Piarists school. A medium town Kecskemet is very important cultural center of central Europe, you can look at http://www.kecskemet.hu/?l=en , with many unique exhibitions and architectures.
I won some funny things in tombola. I must note, that every ticket was winning. I met Dave Brill (thank you for your fairy, Dave!), Vincent Floderer (I missed all his lectures due to my own lecture and late arrival ), someone from Poland and this forum, but I do not remember, who is it (I am very sorry, man ) and of course many nice people from Hungary headed with Suzanna, main organizer of this convention.
If you are interesting to some photos, look to my small exhibition at

or of my friends at

and at

My exhibition contained some models of Joeseph Wu (you know...) and fulerene C60H60 by Momotani. Our honor member Mita shown Toyshop (Dave stopped on it but absolutely missed my fulerene ). I taught Joe's eagle to one hungarian boy privately and Fumiaki Kawahata's Dimetrodon in my lesson. It is too hard, but we enjoy that process and had some fun. You could see my Dimetrodons in third photoalbum (see above). Dimetrodon was not a dinosaurus, look at

and some visualisation of it you could see at

We enjoyed that time in Kecskemet and we hope next time again!
