Sziget fest 2008

10-18 Aug, a week of fun!
If you're looking for a holiday to relax and rest, than surely Sziget festival is not the place to go! The festival takes place on an island on the Danube and this year reached it's maximum number of visitors, more than 385 000 peoples, most of them Hungarians and French.

The usual Sziget fest day starts with drinking your coffee as you stand in line for showers, which takes about 20 minutes of standing in the hot hot sun. The water should be hot but the boilers are no match for the huge filthy croud.

Then u can visit Budapest, or go to the supermarket to buy food, or stay on the island where there are many things to experience, like drawing, making your own earings or clothing from recycled materials, body painting, bunjee jumping, climbing, visit the luminarium or different exhibitions, shopping and so on.



Starting 3:00 p.m. there are live performances to go to, on more than 10 different stages, so there's plenty to choose from and no way to see everything you'd like. Among others, we saw Alanis Morisette, Goran Bregovic and REM. After 00:30, the best party is at Roma tent, where everybody's dancing like crazy on Gipsy rhythms, performed mostly by East European Bands.

After that, you can either dance all night (you've got many discotheques to choose from) or go to sleep..


..home sweet home!
To conclude, I definitely recommend it to all party lovers out there ;)
