New Beginnings



And we’re back.

One thing that Budapest has in abundance is distractions, from little cafes and bars to statues dotted seemingly at random throughout the city.  And while this may be no excuse to pause a blog entirely, there are other things Budapest has as well.

One of these is a creative energy, a vibe that permeates away from the party places frequented by tourists.  Little cafes on each corner are full of photos or paintings by local artists.  The tables look almost self designed and the coffee is excellent with nearly no exception.  And if you pay a visit to one of these, you’ll not come out empty headed.  Throughout history, a lot of the biggest ideas have been made in coffee shops, from the founding of the big American banks through to the writing of great literature.  Indeed, the seeds for the 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule were sown in the Cafe Pilvax in central Pest.  This diversity is because these cafes make you think: they give you ideas.

Which is a reason why, soon, my company, Stom Solutions, will be going live.  That’s right, soon I will be the proud owner of a services company, providing quality content and writing services to whoever wants it.  It’s not a decision taken lightly, but it’s one that was brought about by Budapest.  The ideas and vibes implanted in me by the architecture, the river and just the feel around the place helped to formulate an idea that started on a hill in Budakalász, a great town north of the city.

I may go into some shameless self promotion... but Stom Solutions will be offering the best quality of writing service, whatever it is you require.  Soon, some great examples will be appearing, so have a look and comment – let me know what you think.  But I don’t want to bog down this blog with work.  If you have a real interest in article marketing, writing services and so on, visit our sister site, with its own blog coming soon: www.stomsolutions.com , otherwise, stay tuned for more posts here, about my life and times in Budapest.

As we’re moving house soon, coming up will be a post about the dangers, excitement and fun to be had with home decoration – from tiling to painting and even knocking down a wall or two.  So stay tuned.
