What is Magyar for "space heater" by missustoad
I want a tiny one to heat my big closet while I am dressing. I don't want to turn on the big heat yet. The weather is still nice. I just want to be warm for five minutes in the morning while dressing. Any suggestions where to find one?
If you talk about those little ventilators with a heating element in them, they have them in every mediamarkt. I don't know the name in hungarian but just try to find the ventilators and they will be right next to them. Read More

Information about work in budapest by You...niverse

Again, not my field of expertise, so all I can say is "Good luck!" With the economy in the gutters, competition is likely to be fierce for unskilled jobs, and enterprises like restaurants are less likely to expand or open anew. From what I hear ... Read More

Hello All, I am not noticing any January sales in Budapest, does anyone know if there are any official 'sales' times in Hungary like in the UK? Thanks.
sales are sort of all year round it seems to me, not specifically in January and July (although they do advertise it a lot more then and it is the official periods, the sales don't seem to be too much better; just a bigger crowd to move through). In ... Read More
