In airlines business, it stands for the Budapest Ferihegy International Airport. I’ve been here for about 24 times in the last 2 years and it still amazes me that nothing changes here. Well, the WiFi free connection is faster than 2 years ago, but for the rest… I always thought that Hungarians are embracing change and improvement easier than Romanians. To me, this airport is so boring. They can do better and maybe they will. But, until then, you can burn 5 hours here only by entertaining yourself.

Well, today I saw a glimpse of the western lifestyle. Today, I was paying a visit to a customer in Holland. Travelling 90km in the Netherlands using exclusively the highways took me 2 hours. This makes it an average of 45km/h. Doing this on a daily basis would mean someone would loose 3-4 hours a day with travelling time. This fact of western life is intangible for a Romanian who works and lives in the same town, where distances in time and space are basicly the same no matter if you travel by foot, by bus or by car. So, what are we aiming for? When time is money, and living has a cost attached, we’ll be paying with our own life(-time) for being able to live it. Isn’t this nice?
