As my sweetheart said, real impressions about Sziget should be written 2 weeks after the festival ended.

Really really nice concerts (The Chemical Brothers, Hooverphonic, Manu Chao, Fanfara Ciocarlia) and really nice people (our Romanian neighbours, Alexandra, Cristi, Simi, Dog and their friends, our French neighbours, group 1 (the hot guys) and group 2 (Francois and friends), the Australian Paula and friends) is what I’ll remember with a smile on my face from this year’s Sziget.

This year I’ve noticed that there are many Romanians attending this festival. They are split in two big groups: cool guys (and girls) and “leave me alone, I’m too busy to talk with you, because I’m from Bucharest/Timisoara and you’re not, and you are not as cool as I am” groups. I’ve met people from both of them.

What I didn’t like this year was the weather and the fact that almost all the things were more expensive this year. The taste of money is sweet. :(
