Travelling / transport

To talk a bit more about the transportation, not just the travelling, there’s even a 50
kilometres diet, which is about that you are buying vegetables, fruits and any kinds of
food you can, if it has been grown or produced in 50 kilometres zone around you. It
again protects the environment, because transporting food costs money, time and fuel,
which again pollutes the environment. Things that we import from abroad can be a bit
cheaper, but it definitely is much more harmful for the environment and the living
beings on earth. Other important thing is the organic gardening. Basically it means that
you don’t use any artificial and chemical things to protect your plants or make them
bigger, or grow faster. This is again a good point why you should buy homegrown
vegetables and fruits from your nearest area.
Back to travelling, an other form of it is when people travel, to see new sights,
probably in new countries or in new cities they’ve never been before, or just to buy
things they wouldn’t get at home. My country, Hungary is very famous for its cuisine,
wellness centers, spas and our hospitality. We try to do our best and give the best to
our guests that one may give, this is the secret of why the guests like to come back
here year to year.
Just for an example, lake Balaton is a very popular holiday destination, because it’s
big, the food is nice, the entrance-fee are low, the sun is warm, and the summer
weather is perfect here. We hold very famous festivals, which attract many people
from abroad, like FEZEN, Sziget, Balaton Sound, the Flower festival in Debrecen, all
in all, we have very different festivals during almost the whole year, for all ages and all
tastes. This is a great advantage of our little but lovely country.
Of course, the Hungarians like to chill out, too, so we are travelling to different
countries to see and meet the world. Mostly, we are looking for sea, sand and hot
climate, after the cold and windy, but beautiful winter.
We like the fairs and the markets, and we organize them several times a year. For
example, the Christmas Fair in Székesfehérvár is very well-known and popular,
thousands of people come here every year to see the beautiful things. The lights on the
streets on the evening are so kind and lovely, so heart-warming.
During the fairs, lots of craftsmen try to sell their handmade and beautiful things,
which can be both sweet presents, or useful things. This again attracts people from
abroad, that we share our culture and traditions through our productions. I have
worked at the Cristmas Fair twice in the same stall. We sell ceramics.
