Last Saturday we had some happenings here. Early afternoon sky over river Duna was filled with aerial action as Redbull air race took place. Before that there were flybys done with various aircrafts including Corsair and B-25. Those planes flew quite low and slow over the chain bridge and passed the parliament house. The air race itself was also interesting while acrobatics planes dashed under the bridge and proceeded the course marked with air filled pylons.

In the evening the same bridge was the stage for the fireworks show. Lasting half an hour and with background music it was really spectacular. But it was also pricey for the city, Budapester.hu stated that the whole event cost 284 million HUF which is 1.16 million euro. It just feels a little bit strange to literally burn and explode money on the sky while you see beggars and homeless people every day.
