Well, I DO love Shonen Knife. Taken in my flat in Debrecen. I was probably drunk as I have no recollection of what this was all about.

In 2002 I spent five months, on and off, living in the city of Debrecen, Hungary. During this time I studied the language (well..sort of), drank lots of Unicum and Palinka, went folk dancing and met some truly cool people and visited some amazing places including the beautiful towns of Eger and Szeged as well as further afield places like Venice and Romania. During this time I used a digital video camera and kept a journal to record my adventures. On this page you'll find a selection of screen captures from the many hours of film I recorded. You can also check out three of the little webmovies I made by clicking here!
Hope you enjoy them!
Scary Shit!
