Budapest on the ground: Eurogeneration on the move
Published on
Last week, four journalists, one photographer and me, beeing in charge of this project, discovered Budapest on the ground, successfully hosted by our Budapest team.
The first meeting between the participants and our hosts is in a restaurant in the city center: Who are the babelians from Budapest actually?
Three of us arrived together at the restaurant, we see a guy in the inside who is looking at us for a few seconds and then immediately joining us at the front door: “Yeah, you are from the cafebabel.com team?” is he asking us. “Sure” are we nodding, and soon our photographer Gonzalo from Spain joins us – he has been quite sure that we are the babelians too.
Actually it is very easy to recognize on the ground journalists from cafebabel.com – talking several languages at once in order to communicate, being part of this eurogeneration who in living Europe in their daily life, we are quickly introduced to new people and always looking forward to discover other Europeans. It’s a way of life actually and we all share our passion about this unique magazine – how different we might be, whatever we are doing in our lives or how different our political views are.
Here we are late at night in order to exchange our impressions and discussing life in Budapest with the local team members.
Some impression of places where we met. Here we are in a Serbian restaurant.

The cafebabel.com team (French, Spanish, German journalists and photographer) have been in Budapest for our 'Cities on the ground' editorial monthly project.
