BACK AGAIN - MTK ARE CHAMPIONS!!!

I WAS looking for an appropriate moment to restart our blog - what better than to celebrate MTK winning the Hungarian League?

It was a great day, the 120 year tradition goes on. There were cheers, there were tears and how right was the young guy who announced through his loudspeaker at the kickoff - "Voltunk, vagyunk, leszünk!" Or, we were, we are, we will be!

MTK is and long has been the pride and joy of Hungarian Jews and so it remains. Being there when the Blues won the league again, after an interval of five years, was and will remain a highlight - and a big one at that - of our almost half a decade of living in Hungary. May there be many more such moments, such days, such nights - which ended around 2am at the venerable old MTK Stadium, where fans and players and officials celebrated after the 250km trip home from Sopron.
