Travelling to Debrecen in Hungary

By Jonny Blair


Hungary's second largest city is Debrecen yet this place remains quiet and unknown for the backpacker. It's Hungarian through and through though. A lot of tourists to Hungary tend to skip Debrecen, but here's a few pointers as to why this is a great city to visit and why you should head there!

Things to see and do in Debrecen:

Here's a top 5.

1. Go to the top of the Nagytemplom

The amazing yellow church is also called the Nagytemplom and is easily the most memorable part of your trip to Debrecen. It lies in the city centre in front of the main square and is bold and obvious. Debrecen isn't so commercial yet and though shopping malls are arriving with designer brands, the good news is the city is still old fashioned. Head to the top of the Nagytemplom for a cracking view of the city of Debrecen. While the Nagytemplom is the big church, just down the road lies a small church, known as "the little church".

2. Watch Loki Play Football!

Hungary has a proud football history and indeed Hungary SHOULD have won the 1954 World Cup. They beat West Germany 8-3 in the group stage then lost 3-2 to them in the final after being 2-0 up, in controversial circumstances. Get your fix of Hungarian football at the traditional Loki Stadium. Ferenc Puskas once played here but not for Debrecen (who are nicknamed Loki). The fans shout "Hajra Loki!!" and the club have been Hungarian Champions a mammoth SIX times in the last ten years, having NEVER won the league before 2004. They have also won the cup and made it to the group stages of the Champions League and Europa League in recent times. Debrecen's proximity to the Romanian border mean they attract Romanian players including World Cup star Tibor Selymes. They play in red and white and you can also buy souvenirs at the stadium on match day, or in the Debrecen Plaza shopping mall in the city centre.

3. Drink with the locals near the square

Don't forget to party in Debrecen at night. It's a student city with a great vibe. I caught up with the locals over a beer near the main square. A great place to relax and enjoy Hungarian beer!

4. Go to the Theatre

Debrecen loves theatre and the splendid Csokonai Theatre has played host to performers such as Riverdance, the Noemi Linzenbold Show and the Sound of Music in recent years. It is a truly great place to enjoy theatre, dance or indeed music.

A statue of Csokonai sits in front of the main square.

5. Head on a tram to the University

Debrecen boasts a decent university and this also goes hand in hand with a good student population and night life. The University itself, is "just a university" but it's free to walk around and nearby there is a superb park which makes for a good walk, with stalls and restaurants all selling decent Hungarian snacks and drinks. As I said, get a tram out to it - the tram network in Debrecen is good. In fact, you'll enjoy it.

Another thing to do in Debrecen:

There's a nice museum called the Deri Museum in the city centre which you can do in a bout an hour. Worth seeing if you want to learn more about the history.

How do you get to Debrecen in Hungary?

Bus or train from Budapest is the most likely option though you can also come in via Romania as an unusual alternative.

Get your flights booked and head to Hungary!

Places to stay in Debrecen:

Now I was there with a local girl so I stayed with her family in a wonderful tower block on the edge of the city. But there are lots of decent hostels and hotels to choose from.

Some odd facts about the city of Debrecen:

- It was once manned by the Romanian army after World War 1

- Debrecen was once the capital city of Hungary (yes, I know, I didn't believe it either)

What to eat in Debrecen:

The Hungarian Paprika Chicken is outstanding and the cream chocolate cheese bars called Turo Rudis are very unusual and local.

Reasons for visiting Debrecen?

So I went there with a girl who was born and bred in Debrecen so I got a really good insight into the city and the culture. Debrecen probably hasn't changed much in the last 20 years - you should check it out. This is one fantastic journey my friends...Safe travels!

Easily Selecting From Okanagan Motels

By Bridgette Conway


Trip planning is often an effort that consumers find to be quite difficult and even stressful to manage on various levels. Most getaways are reliant on the need to ensure that transportation options are initially focused on while then being interested in ensuring that rest and recuperation efforts are well coordinated at all times. People focused on this process should know the basics of easily selecting from Okanagan motels to ensure they receive the best recuperation possible on their trip.

Accommodation options are generally focused on by people that are looking to plan a trip and are trying to ensure they have a comfortable place to recuperate. Motels are commonly considered in this phase of the planning effort as they are equipped with a multitude of rooms and are able to provide the premise by which people are offered a competitive base of solutions. The decisions that travelers make are often quite specific to their needs.

Anyone considering a trip to Okanagan is faced with a wealth of opportunities to work through. The large number of facilities available can be quite challenging to work through when being assured that all viable options are compared in a fair and knowledgeable manner. Making this decision in an efficient manner is actually much easier when various factors are reviewed.

People often begin their considerations by determining the location of the facility in relation to the rest of the city. Location is pertinent as people often discover that they are unable to reach various points of interest throughout the city in an appropriate manner when having to travel longer distances and work through various difficulties. Consumers are able to view the website of the facility to read about local attractions and areas of the interest that are readily accessed from any room reserved.

Consumer reviews are also an essential proponent of making this selection. The reviews that have been posted by consumers that have recently stayed in the facility are quite effective in offering a streamlined amount of guidance as to what the facility has to offer and why it should be seriously considered for any trip. Various sites are readily available that offer this information to anyone interested in using them.

Facility amenities are also an integral phase of this entire process. Amenities are generally focused on as part of ensuring the entire stay is able to be fully accommodated and as comfortable as possible. Spacious bathrooms and comfortable beds are among the most common features considered.

Travelers should also have access to shuttle services as part of making this selection. Shuttles are helpful in being able to allow consumers access to just about any point of interest in their city without having to actually rent a vehicle. 24 hour access to this service should be offered to ensure that any transportation needs are carefully met.

Okanagan motels should only be focused on when considering their nightly rates. Paying for this phase of the entire trip can be quite difficult for anyone to consider as they attempt to keep their budgets intact. The lowest night rates that are offered for the best experience are often what consumers focus on the most.

More Adventures Waiting With Mount Kilimanjaro Tours

By Dolores Harrison


There are a lot of people who may not even know what Tanzania could offer them. Some others who want a new taste of adventure could very much include this in their new itinerary. Regardless of what they may first think, the Mount Kilimanjaro tours could surprise them with many things. It would definitely be a good thing to see what new things they can explore.

This mountain has made it to different magazines, websites and television programs. This is even considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are so many activities that this place could offer the tourists. If they are looking for one great adventure, then they could very well do so in this place.

Hiking is one of the activities that many people could do. The top of the mountain is definitely a great place to go and one would not help but be proud about being there. Before one could climb though, there is still a great need to hire licensed guides. Approximately, there are six routes to choose from and these have different levels of difficulty so one should make the preference clear to the guide.

It would also be good to consider staying in the ground level for there are different things in store here too. There are accommodations that would fit families and large groups. The area of the park is rather safe but still there are different great things that they could watch from this place too.

The park is a place where everyone could relax and just indulge in what nature could offer. The luscious greens are sprawling wonderfully that everyone would just enjoy them. With that, there are also a lot of wild animals in the area. They just have to make sure that they keep clear of the wild animals. The moorland zone is a good hiking area.

It helps of course to listen to what the guides and park rangers would say. Though it is good to have a close encounter with these animals, there is a great chance of seeing leopards which is very risky. There are even elephants. Baboons and other animals waiting for people to meet.

Lake Chala is another place that is worth visiting. There are plenty of great lakes in the world but this crater lake is definitely a stand out. The color would change from turquoise to emerald green. With that, they could be sure that they will have a lot of wonderful things waiting. They just have to figure out when they would see that transition.

Some people would also say that they love hiking so much. With that, they can prepare for three days of constant hiking. There are camps in the mountains ready to serve as their stop overs. The good thing about this adventure is that the terrain is really challenging. They could climb roots and rocks but the reward is that they could see large ferns and the craters.

The Mount Kilimanjaro tours can be very enriching. People could definitely choose among the different trekking, hiking and climbing options. They may stay in the safe distance if they are not for adventures. Those who want a taste of the whole thing could climb to the top of the craters.

When Searching For Suppliers Of ATV Accessories

By Dolores Harrison


It is important that before you pay up for ATV accessories for your vehicles, it should be that the supplier you are dealing with is checked in terms of its background and the quality of the accessories that they are selling. Buying high quality products and the dealing with a supplier that has a good background in terms of its dealings with its customers are the aim here. That is why you are willing to go to lengths to get to know these potential sellers in the area.

One of the most reliable resources that you can use for this is the Better Business Bureau. The bureau is the institution of the government that customers approach when they are unhappy about a dealing with a certain company. They can file for complaints through the bureau. The bureau then notifies the company concerned.

Your friends and family are the first ones that you should ask because they are the ones closest to you. If they tell you something about anything, you will likely believe them. Compared to strangers or people you do not know at all on personal basis that you have talked to about this, there is a great possibility that you would believe your friends and relatives more than other people.

Such a company does not deserve your business. It does not deserve your time, energy and money in dealing with them for this transaction. The bureau publishes an accredited list of businesses.

Likewise, it is advisable that you conduct a research on the web for things that might add up to your knowledge about these products and could be in turn factored into the questions you are preparing for these people. The other way of learning about the background of the store is by conducting a research on the internet. It should not have slipped by in your awareness that the internet is an information high way.

Another thing would be that it will be easy for you to check on the background of the store when they are near to your location. The people who live around the area probably know about the store. People would rather deal with a business establishment that is near to them.

Check on these information to find out more about the company you are searching on. There are ratings and websites that you can use to gauge the customer service of the company and the quality of the products for sale in their store. Know that there are also other resources that you can utilize to check for the credibility of the company.

They have some valuable information for sure that they can give you. They can tell you about the store that they deal with when it comes to this kind of products. They can provide tips and pointers on how they go about with the search of good stores to deal with for these products.

They can be organized and they need to be because you will get overwhelmed by the large amount of information that can be gathered by one search alone. Choose the most relevant information available for the topic that you are trying to learn or want to know about. By then, you should be able to find a few prospects for ATV accessories.

General Introduction To ATV Lift Kits

By Dolores Harrison


Anyone who has just acquired all-terrain vehicles will notice that most owners having them add ATV lift kits. Several benefits can be expected with these attachments. It is important to know what these benefits are. Since one has already made a purchase of these vehicles, one will seek to maximize his riding experience with necessary additions. The benefits of these additions should be known much better to help in making decisions.

There are a variety of purposes these vehicles can be used for. They could be used for snow plowing, hunting, races, or just riding for recreation. Not all vehicles can handle rough terrains. ATVs were designed for such. Those who have adventurous spirits will surely enjoy them.

ATV enthusiasts generally want them bigger. The bigger they are, the more powerful the look, and the more they are capable of handling rough terrains. Larger models offer greater maneuverability to drivers. Appearances are just as important. Given this, owners acquire different accessories to enhance their vehicles.

The purpose of these kits are to achieve higher elevated clearances and make attachment of significantly larger tires possible. Having larger tires attached is responsible for their ability to function well despite tough environmental conditions. Normal vehicles could not handle such conditions. There are different models and designs of ATVs. Some are four-wheel drive while some are two-wheel drive, but all of them have kits that match them.

Installation may not be done in a jiffy as it will take several hours. However, this does not mean that attaching them is very complicated. In fact, needed tools for attaching them are to be found easily. These are just the ordinary tools that most people have at their garages. When they are added, the distance between tire and fender is significantly increased. This helps them with their performance which is way better than normal lifting suspensions.

A typical kit is designed so that the travel of suspension of the vehicle is considerably increased. This is done by installing blocks amidst its shocks, machine swing arm, and suspension. Having this requires nothing else but just adding it though some advanced versions require extension of break lines, wheel spacers, and drive chains before completing installation. More radical ones will require drive axles that are significantly longer and addition of suspension pieces.

Not all models are right for every vehicle. One must consider height being achieved. Common sense will tell that the taller the vehicles are, the more likely they are going to topple. Also consider having snorkel system to maximize the height advantage. Instead of having the point of air entry below the frame of the machine, it is raised higher than handle bar controls. This allows the engine to still operate even if it is fully submerged underwater.

Some manufacturers will usually suggest additional wheel spacers so that wheel are farther from the axles. As height is increased, the center of gravity is made more stable by having wheels set farther apart. This center of gravity is termed as roll center. Widening stance of vehicles through the use of wheel spacers will lower the roll center making them more stable and easy to maneuver. This comes handy specially on off-road environments.

ATV lift kits come in different varieties which can be purchased at many specialty shops. One must seek consultation first to make sure that model selected works well with the ATV. Through this, one can expect a smoother ride no matter how tough the terrain will be.

Methods To Win Cash Playing No Deposit Bingo

By Jenny Swanson


A lot of people feel that bingo is a online game that's solely luck dependent. That is not accurate. There are a number of strategies one can use to improve your odds of winning at bingo. The subsequent post consists of my stategies to increase your chances of winning at internet bingo.

To begin with, always give preference to the bingo websites with the best signup bonuses and special offers. We advise that you investigate each bingo website before signing up and look at the bonuses conditions and terms. One tip to achieve this would be to read a lot of reviews on various bingo web-sites. By doing this, you will drastically boost your probabilities of obtaining the greatest bingo deal and thus increase your odds of winning a huge bingo jackpot reward.

The biggest bingo cash payouts are generally won on Friday and Saturday. The reason behind this is that there are more folks playing at that time, more tickets are being purchased, hence the jackpots on offer will be larger. However the chances of winning will be a bit lower, in the event you win, you will almost certainly win a huge prize for your endeavours.

When buying bingo cards take into consideration how many other participants you are competing with. As previously mentioned, Fridays and Saturdays are usually the businest days at the bingo web-sites. On these days your odds of winning will undoubtedly be lower. Whilst on low traffic days, the chances of you winning will certainly be higher. My best tip is to purchase more cards on the less busy days and get less seats on the busy days. The explanation for this is simple. On the busy days the chances of you winning are reduced whether or not you purchase many seat tickets or few seat tickets. Which means you may as well merely purchase a couple of seat tickets on the busy days. While on the days which are much less busy, the chances of you winning are better. Should you buy additional seat tickets, you're more likely to be the winner of the game.

Finally, my greatest tip of all is always to quit playing when you are on a losing streak. I'm all about playing bingo for entertainment, if you're on a losing streak; it's no longer enjoyable to play. Whenever you are not having fun i like to recommend that you stop playing bingo. Just think of just how bad you may feel if you continue to lose more and more cash, it would be dreadful. Bingo is primarily an entertainment game and you should only play for as much as you are comfortable losing. If you ever feel upset that you have lost your bingo funds, then chances are you should stop and call it a day. Remember, bingo will always be there, you are able to play the next day if you would like.
