Nagykata Local Customs

MIDDLE EARTH

Never a dull moment and you get tired
of taking pictures of the locals or your fruit and veg
growing, then let your imagination get hold of you
and think of all the wierd and wonderful pics you
can take. I have driven past Everest 4 times the highest
point of this planet, and been to Soddom and Gommorah
in the Dead Sea the lowest point on the planet quite a few times,
and Nagykata is closer to the earths core than many places
in Europe so I suppose you could call it Middle Earth ..LOTR.
So here is a photo of middle earth...

2006 was my 3rd year watching the battle,
there come more people every year.


But I'm still the only Englishman
living in the surrounding area.-
There is a Japanese Clarion factory
so there are some Japanese, but
they spend all there time working
and don't mix with the local population
really. I used to teach one of the bosses
English, but then he returned to Japan.

The 'Csango' or Puszta cowboys love to show off their
wip cracking skills and wear traditional clothes like centuries
before on the Great Hungarian Plain.

Last weekend my neighbour told me that the "wine vintage ball"
procession would pass close by to our street, so off we went to
the next street corner with my daighter to see the procession.

Hussars horses canons 1 hour of intense action.
