hey,
i thoroughly recomend the sziget festival in budapest. I went there in 2005 and it was
pretty awesome. it went for 8 days and was only 100 euros including camping.
its on every year in august. it is absolutely huge. there is and incredible range of both
food and drink (good quality beer, wine, spirits, cocktails) all very cheap by australian
standards (eg, 500ml of nice red wine worked out to be a little over $1.70 australian.
the hungarian currency is gradually becoming stronger, but even if everything was twice
the price it would still be an absolute bargain.
the festival has heaps of stages with a wide range of acts (pop, rock, metal, jazz,
gypsy, world, artsy theatre, fashion parades, even a dog show)
transport is easy to and from the centre of budapest (in my limited travelling experience
i found former communist countries had amazing public transport.
they have programmes available in a handful of languages including english.
anywho, enough crapping on do a search for it. from memory they had a decent english
language website.
Hope you have fun.
