Budapest, location of Zak McKracken and CTG:

Location of Usrin in Szolnok and in Budapest:
And here's Bratislava: location of Ursin, and the beautiful capital of my beautiful ancient homeland. :P
BL?TTY! I want to show you that kind of picture from my two locations, but I can't... And more pictures... about the location where I had sex with Laura from example... Sad b?ff...
Budapest is one of the most detailed parts, but the whole area of Hungary is visible in Google Earth with more or less details... Or if you can't download it (like me), you can see the images on http://maps.google.com - search for Hungary, check "Satellite" and zoom on your locations! Here's Kazincbarcika:

Ok, here is my location on Google Earth.

Okay I'm getting a bit pissed at Google Earth...

Trilbardou is in high resolution because it's quite close to Paris.
But this is just the limit, leave Trilbardou and you enter low resolution zone. even the big city of Meaux is in low resolution although it is only 7 km from my village. See the picture attached : dark zone at the left = high resolution. All the rest of the picture is lighter and is in low resolution mode.
Anyway, pictures of Google Earth are around 2 years old for Paris zone (TGV east line work is not even started on the pictures) but much more recent for USA zone.

Interesting article about (amongst others) the power plant of Akoss' hometown on index.hu (main Hungarian news portal, only in Hungarian): Energi?t teh?nb?l (Energy from cow) (http://index.hu/tech/tudomany/enym051004/). :D
OK, to be exact, this funny-sounding title refers to the power plant of Ny?rb?tor, where biogas is used. In the Kazincbarcika Power Plant there were experiments only with hen shit, as Mr. L?szl? Pint?r tells in the article. Unfortunately, he doesn't tell why didn't it become the final solution. (Was it too slippery?) Akoss Poo, could you ask him? :)
LOL! Usrin, how did you find this? :) I will DEFINITELY ask my father about this! :D Crazy ideas, damn it, I never heard about this. I would have never thought that my father's name had been in an article on the Net about the power station of Kazincbarcika! B?FF!
Quote from: "Akoss Poo"LOL! Usrin, how did you find this? :)
I read the news of
index.hu regularly, and today morning that was the first article on the main page. :D
Then many many people in this country know now that my father et al. wanted to experiment with hen shit as energy resource!!! :D:D:D
Shitty, shitty, shitty power station! :-D
Curious are the solutions to energy in countries with problems of natural resources. Here in Brazil, the most of Power Stations are hydroelectrical (there are a lot of rivers here). On last years, increased gas power (gas from Bolivia), sun power (great potential) and wind power (on my region).
good for you, people here mainly dont care about this at all :(

1/4 is a striking proportion - just think, for instance, about political weighings... :o Metro São Paulo holds "only" ~1/9 of Brazil's population. And BTW, I do get bewildered at times with its dimensions :)
And it's nice to look at how La Plata (Chulk's "small" city) has very nearly fused into Buenos Aires conurbation, but not quite...

I don't get why you put "small" between "". I thought La Plata was a small city... How much population or km2 would a small city have?
Its population is 694.253 and its area is 942,2 Km2.

Well, I think there's no "right" answer to this, in that "large" or "small" are somewhat relative in this context. If we would consider 1.5 million inhabitants quite a big number, 700k looks healthily mid-sized to me. For a contextualized example, should La Plata be in Hungary it would be the country's second largest city by some margin :)
Population of Hungarian towns is not really balanced...

My location changed, renting a friend's flat. Because of the neighbours affair... (yeah, I'm a coward, but that's the only way I can secure us)
It's "funny" to live a few kilometers away from our own flat.
My location was also changed last September, but it is only about 1.5 kilometres from the old one. As I told before, I had bought an own, small flat in Kazincbarcika.

Any Stunts pipsqueak coming around here is welcomed at this place. :)
Interesting, new times! I hope you'll get 'integrated' well, as the second exile-Hungarian in Stunts.
Norway, beautiful! Hope you'll find an easy way to live there, it's a fantastic country. And a good place for the next ISM!!! 8)
hope you will quickly get through the hard part without your family and soon enjoy your life there together.
Enjoy the scandinavian black metal! ;D
Thanks to everybody! Well, I think Norway is one of the easiest countries to settle in, not comparable to China. Everyday life is easier here than in Hungary from the first day... just one example, CTG's neighbour affair is not surprising in Hungary, but would be simply impossible here. No more stupid policemen, ticket inspectors, postmen, railwaymen, etc...
The hard part is the work, with a lot things I've never done, while speaking English all day is a job for me on its own. My previous Norwegian jobs were far easier (well, those were only summer jobs for students).... I give myself 70 percent chance for surviving the probation time (6 months). Well, I think the decision will be clear within 1-2 months.
I can't imagine my life abroad. My language skills are too crappy to try, even if I hate this country. Practice would not help, I have no sense to English / German...

Sooner or later, practice helps everybody. OK, some can reach the level of native speakers, others (like me) can't. But I haven't heard about anybody who had to
return from a foreign country because of language problems.
The reason for posting here: tomorrow I'm moving to a new location. The landlady at my current place is going to sell the house, so I had to find another flat. That will be at:

New conflicts in the air with other neighbours - I can't stand chain smokers, obstacles of opening our windows. Some of them will sooner or later hunt me because of my kind comments about their intellectual level (and sometimes about their bloody mother's "profession").

How much does a decent lodging cost in Scandinavia or Germany (~60-80 m2 flat in a quiet place)?
Quote from: CTG on August 09, 2013, 03:10:55 PM
How much does a decent lodging cost in Scandinavia or Germany (~60-80 m2 flat in a quiet place)?
Norway:
~3.000.000 NOK in Stavanger/Oslo and their suburbs
~2.500.000 NOK in other major cities (Bergen/Trondheim/Tromsø)
~1.500.000-2.000.000 NOK in smaller places (where it can be difficult to find a good job)
This seems to be a real estate bubble, which will crash sooner or later. In Stavanger, prices have been doubled in the last 10 years...
Sweden:
~3.500.000-4.000.000 SEK in Stockholm, I've no information from other cities. (Home prices are a bit more stable than in Norway.) Btw, owning a flat is a bourgeois thing in Stockholm, average people rent their homes.
1 EUR=ca. 8 NOK=ca. 9 SEK
seems to be on par with Shanghai prices... but if you also compare median average salaries... :o
We're moving again on 1 July - but not too far, the new apartment is ca. 2 km from our current place. Reason: our current landlord (previously enjoying his pension in Spain) decided to come back.

Sure, I know, don't take it too seriously. It's a tradition of Looping members to insult eachother with this "BOURGEOIS!" thing - even for smaller issues. ;D
In my district (more or less an average one in Budapest), you can find a 60 m
2 flat for 250-300€/month. If you want to buy the same size, you need 45,000-50,000€.
