Ballantine's -finest

This is the text on a metal box if i take a look to the left. A friend's christmas present for the Galambos-boyz. Just started to think which is the day when we are gonna finish it :P
So it is Christmas time, no snow, neither in Debrecen, nor in Göteborg. At least in Sweden it was not that cold as it is here... The air was much cleaner...and so on so forth... Luckily I met an other Hungarian guy on the way back at the airport, he told me that when he had got back from 1 year in New Zealand, he had severe depression for one month... so he gave me some advices what not to do... First and most important, never start to compare. Never. If you start, nothing will be better, in Hungary and thats completely true... OK family and some friends are located here, but not all the time...
So briefly, first of all Merry Christmas, Happy Holdiays, Merry Hanuka, whatever, whoever wishes what... :)
Now I am able to make some conclusions regarding the first 2 quarters in Sweden. For the first comment it is not bad to know about Geert Hofstede's book, Cultures and Organizations, Software of the mind. Would like to emphasize -as far as i can recall - the 3rd chapter, which is about how do you behave in foreign circumstances. It is true, as the same happened with me. First, 1 month, euphoria like feeling, everything is perfect, etc etc. Than, October, deep down, age of dissappointments. There are people whom you had thought that you can be best friends, adn on the short run you realize that they are selfish, and not even that pleasent to be with them... And later, the age of the balance in a pretty good level. That is where I am now :) Found those people whom it is fun to be with, to spend time with, to be active with... And it is perfectly described in the above-mentioned book.
OK, back to normal everyday life, I cannot miss mentioning the perfect 10 days in November, when spending 3 sensational days in Stockholm, than a weekend trip to Helsinki to some BEST Christmas event, and back to the capital, 3 more fantasic days... and night calls, and so on... ;)
Stockholm is pretty different, it is a real metropolis. I started to have some strange feelings about that GBG is not good as Stockholm is, but coming back that the city of GBG is even better. Not that large but at least alive as Stockholm, with perfect Ministry of Sound performances, Oasis or Beyonce concerts and I could go on till infinity... And the millieu is something what is even better, especially before Christmas, and they organized such activities and show that our stayed wide open... Torch-carrying on the main avenue, light and projecting show in front of the art museum... Unbelievable great!
