Felt so hapless, the urban girl just staring out of the window and waiting for the Internet to save her evening. :)
Well, as you can see, it's back!

These wonderful photos were taken by Zsófi Raffay, a lovely girl and a very talented and ingenious photographer. Her portraits are superb, as well as her urban photography.
(Perfect for me, the classic urban girl. With her beloved Internet connection.)
Take a look at her pictures here!
These pics were taken a while back, actually, it's much sunnier now!
And there's light in the flat.
OK, OK, I'm stopping it right here.

The power cut wasn't scary really, it was just funny to realize how much I depended on the net for my evening's entertainment... :)

such lovely photos :) I love your scarf!
Thanks Marisa, it's a great scarf I've worn with basically anything and everything, though one would think the pattern restricts wearability... I think it's perfect. :)
LOL--"Felt so hapless, the urban girl just staring out of the window and waiting for the Internet to save her evening"
Sometimes it's nice to go without modern things. Except when it's cold. And you really wan to watch reality tv.
The only entertaining thing I could come up with to do without electricity (and alone, I hasten to add) was playing an instrument. Which I can't do.
And actually it was interesting to look out to almost complete darkness when you're used to an always-lit city. Not something I would do every night, but it was nice to see. :)
Lovely photos! This post made me think back to the time when I lived in Budapest years ago. During my first couple of weeks in the city, I lived on the south side of Buda, in Kelenfold (I'm missing the umlauts, sorry!). It was a huge, gloomy apartment complex, and we had power cuts all the time. I remember feeling so desperate and alone; I hadn't made any friends yet, my Hungarian was horrible, and Kelenfold was so depressing. And yet today a part of me misses even those moments - not to mention the ones that came afterwards, when I had friends and moved to Wesselenyi utca in Pest. Oh, Budapest, those were the days! Sorry for rambling! :)
That's exiting! You used to live in Budapest? Wow! I'm glad you ended up liking the city at the end. :)
How's your Hungarian now? :)
Yup, I studied at ELTE for one academic year, it was the Erasmus exchange programme and I studied Hungarian culture and language. At the end of the year my Hungarian wasn't too bad. I should have kept it up, because now I can barely remember the basics! (I guess that's what happens when you don't get to use a language you know.) And yes, I did fall in love with Budapest in the end. It is a wonderful city.
Oh well, I guess Hungarian is fairly easy to forget as there's not too many chances to speak it around the world. :)
these pictures are so cool!i really love your umbrella! and your coat!
ps wow i hope everything was ok =]
Sure, Britty, everything was fine. :)
My umbrella would like to thank you all for the nice compliments she got. :)
Beautiful shots...and I['m totally diggin' your umbrella!
