Sziget 2014.

I think festivals are great. I went to my first full on (whole festival plus camping) festival last year with two friends and I loved it so much. I told myself I had to do this more. So this year I went to my second: Sziget Festival in Budapest.

Sziget Festival lasts 7 days and is held on Obudai Sziget (Sziget means Island in Hungarian) in the Donau. It doesn't only host some big music names but also has a lot of art shown over the whole island.

My musical favourited were, hands down, A Day To Remember, Bastille and Macklemore&Ryan Lewis. I enjoyed all those gigs greatly and they will be charished for a long, long time.
Jimmy Eat World was pretty fun as well and the little bit that I've seen and heard of Tom Odell was pretty damn good. On the last day I quite liked The Kooks and Calvin Harris, only I, sadly, wasn't able to see the big finaly with the fireworks.

The rest of the festival was greatly enjoyed as well. There was a lot to see ~for example the Luminarium a big balloon building you can walk through~, to do and to experience ~I bungee jumped~, there was great choice in food and the food was pretty damn good as well ~Zing Burgers are fantastically good~. The paying method they use here is quite handy, you get a pass you can charge money on and you just hold it in front of a scanner thing and you payed. The only things a not so cool about it were the charging, the lines usually were very long and the charging took quite some time, so you couldn't just 'go and charge your card' and it's a bit harder to keep up with what you payed and what's left on your card. Apart from that I loved it. Oh, and all the prices are Florint, so you do have to do the maths every time you want to buy something plus a lot of things in stands are only written in hungraian and a lot of the people working there aren't very good at english, so sometimes ordering something could be a little more challenging.

The festival is great. It's long, very long (7 days!!!!) (You can read about how tired I was here (you get a pack of Salted Caramel TimTams squished into your mailbox if you've read that whole blogpost) (Not really but I love you if you did)) But it's great. 

So much music, so many experiences. A lot of love from me. 90% would reccomend. ~You do have to be up for not too much sleep in a loud enviroment.~

Have a nice life,
