Le Dîner en Blanc de Budapest

With my colleagues we were invited to the third edition of this beautiful event in Budapest. Years ago white parties were popular in the city. I also attended some of them. These parties were in night clubs and the only rule was to arrive in white.

Well, this concept is different from those, much more elegant, social and sophisticated. The location was a secret until the very last minute for the participant and it was important to be dressed nicely. Arriving to Clark Adam square, where I met my colleagues, more and more people arrived in white. Those who just passed by were curious to know what is going on in the city. It looked amazing. The location was in the castle district, in front of the National Gallery were the view is breath-taking over the city. Everything looked perfect as we arrived except the sky. Grey clouds were above us but nobody cared. The crowd of beautifully dressed people, the view of the city, the atmosphere distracted anyone’s attention from the weather... until we had a few drops of rain…then it stopped. In the meantime we were told if there is a strong rain we carry on inside the National Gallery. Few minutes later it started to rain cats and dogs and the crowd went to the Gallery screaming and laughing at the same time. Don’t forget your wine glass – one of my colleagues told me. J It took a little time to find everybody in our team and to find our new place but we picked a table on the second floor not far from my favourite Vaszary János painting: The Morphinist. Honestly it was good to see that nobody cared much about the wet clothes and ruined hair & make up. We had so much fun. We ate good food; we had nice talks and danced afterwards. So nice to see your colleagues in a different place than the office at work…so nice to talk about other things than work.

We looked so beautiful together all in white.
