Click here to read latest comment: the paper it's written on? my degree means a lot to me. it's in history, but i'm now taking a post graduate diploma in law. i wouldn't be doing that if i hadn't got my undergrad; and given that i almost took further academic study it would have been useful for that. i guess as well my degree is the end point of three amazing years of university - the course, the people, the experience, the degree stands for all of those. to have survived them all, and to have evidence of that, has got to be worth something personally and to family and friends, even though everyone has one these days.

Ice Skating at Műjégpálya 15 January

2009.01.15

Trying to make the most of winter we are going ice skating first thing in the new year before the splendid Mujégpálya closes for another 8 months. We are meeting at 18:00 in front of the entrance of Műjégpálya (see map below) to enjoy the ice for a couple of hours without breaking a bone. The skating rink is open until 8 pm after which we will visit a nearby pub. If you can’t get there by 6 pm, don’t worry, come in and look for us or TEA flags. The entrance is 700 HUF on a Thursday. If you don’t have your own skates you can rent a pair at the rink for 600 HUF/hour. Please note that an ID with a photograph OR 15 000 HUF is required as a deposit if you want to rent. They have sizes from 25-48 so you will probably find a fitting pair.
