a night on the town and visit to the discotech proved to be pretty interesting. bobby sliced his head on a street sign! thanks to abby and jon for the pictures.
maybe this posting will be scattered. im trying to catch up.
there is an incredible indoor/outdoor daily farmers market in Keskemet
Akio!
the ICS has an amazing private collection of contemporary work from all sorts of international artists. i think its supposed to be either the largest in eastern europe or in very close running for such a title. this is a very small taste of a collection in one of the attics.
we also were taken on a very special visit to another private collection (Boszo Collection, mostly from the 19th century) of very old ceramic objects orginating from the Hungarian folk-art tradation. there was also all sorts of old furniture, glass, and domestic objects to drool over.
normally this musuem is not open on the weekdays but they have a close relationship with ICS and the director, who had them open their doors for us and provided us with a crazy informative tour. he is full of knowledge and had really interesting things to say about collecting. im going to try to gather my thoughts on the subject and write more about this later.
though this musuem typically does not allow picture taking, we were allowed to photograph but asked to not post them on the internet. bummer. very amazing though to see such a specific collection of history.
the best keskemet day (best is kind of a weird term, but definitly the most eventful and weird) began with the renting of bikes. what a great way to see a place, to ride around on a bike with a bell and get sunburnt.
this lady was flying on her motorized bike.
we went looking for a lake but for some reason we couldn't understand it was closed off and there was no swimming. we visited the arboretum. not too bad.
jon and sarah were really into "working out". all along the walking paths was different sorts of exercise equipment. kind of strange.
after the arboretum we went to the waterpark!!! another great way to get sunburnt, this place had all sorts of great attractions, including the weird/grossness of thermal baths, piss-brown hot water that is said to have healing properties. something to do with minerals maybe. people just lounge in it, like a big bathtub for everyone to be disgusting in. we got in and hung out.
on returning, i went by myself to a crazy choir performance. there was a music symposium happening in town and this was their end-performance.
something very crazy about so many voices at once. there were some very beatiful moments, for sure. so different from anything im used too.
the night got progessivley weirder from there. i went to go meet up with brandon and manya at a "jazz club" they had found the night before. when i got there, there was a highschool rock band playing a Blur cover. the young kids kept having us dance with them (pogo!). somehow we communicated with them that i played drums and dustin, my friend who also was there, was a rapper. an improteuo performance insued after the band got done playing. can't really put into the words the bizzare comedy of this situation, but we got free drinks the rest of the night. just wait for the video.
okay, that is all for now. here is a picture of bobby he probabally doesn't want me to post on the internet.
