Moved to BP from London on 1st June 2011.
Was living in a rented apartment in V district amongst the antiques traders, with views of Parliament's top spire in front, the Duna to the right and a Minisztérium patrolled by chain-smoking militia to the left - and lots of trees.
(July 2012) Now moved to XIII district. Lots of trees - not so much culture.
No real occupation here yet. Intent on 'trying' to develop Magyar nyelv.
As the moniker suggests: I'm English.
