The one memorable thing
I like traveling and always try to find something interesting from every country for memory to remember it by. I don't collect the same things every time, for examle statuettes, magnets or plates. I can buy any things anything, because for me important the mood and atmosphere which bring this thing. (the important thing is the mood and atmosphere that it brings)
For example, when I was in Holland I bought a second-hand picture, which I very liked really liked / liked a lot.
In On that day Holland celebrated a their Queen's Day. The Dutch have a tradition to sell of selling old things in on this day and they organize markets on the bunds (banks?) of Amsterdam's chanels canals. It was so interesting experience It was such an interesting experience for me - numerous people stay near from their homes and present their personal things - books, clothes, toys, kitchen features (utensils?) and even home-made sweets. I went through them and joy (with joy?) - they wore orange accessories (this is the Queen's colour), they laugh and song sing songs, children played on musical instruments.
For me it was a memorable day so I decided to buy something for memory (see above :) ). And I saw the small cute picture where on which was painted only one pink beautiful flower on an aquamarine background. One positive young lady sold it to me and when I return at home (returned home/went home) I hung the picture in my room. Now this small painting remember reminds me of that wonderful day and the positive Dutch people.Sounds like you had a great time :)
And you write very well.

I'm lucky, beacause when I came to work to in Budapest, I met my boyfrend.
He lived in the city centre, so we are in the middle of life. (<em>Is this a Hungarian phrase? What is it? :) We don't say this in English - but I can't think of a good alternative at the moment, sorry!</em>)
When we moved into our flat, this quarter ('district' is better) was very silent (quiet), we met maybe one or two cars in one hour... But the time is change. (But times have changed).
Now we live in the middle of the party quarter. All parlor opend something pub, party place or resaurant. Every [what do you mean by 'parlor'?] opened some kind of pub, party place or restaurant.
We have an adage: "We live in an a Village." We know everybody hereabout round here, we say all entertainer "Hello! How are you?", (we say 'Hello! How are you?' to every [what do you mean by 'entertainer'?] )
we have a lot of stories with a lot of people, we find friends everywhere... :)
Our border of „the Village” is these places: Léhűtő, 400, Mika Tivadar Mulató, Mika Kert, Kőleves, Kőleves Kert, Mex Kert.
Well, we live our life in this circle, it is like an a festival… Maybe once we will meet either of them. :)
Do you have favourite places in your surroundings (district / area is better)? Where is this place? What is the name? Maybe we will visit once. :)Budapest tőkjszép város... Most lakom Moszkvában, de a kócsmák itt nem olyan jó mint Budapesten.

May 17 is the Night of Museums. How do you celebrate this important event in your city? what kind of museums are there in your town?
I live in Russia in the city Kaliningrad. Previously, the city was the capital of East Prussia. Kaliningrad region is called the capital of Amber and, of course, the city has an Amber museum.
Why do I Love The Night of Museums?
Firstly, during the year, I do not always have the time to go to the museums to see the new exhibitions. For one night the museum I can visit several museums at once. between museums are moving special buses. (<em>On the night of the museums I can visit several museums at once. Special buses go/travel between the museums</em>)
Secondly. museums at night look more beautiful and mysterious than in the daylight.
Thirdly, each museum is preparing prepares a special program for visitors: fashion shows, video installations, body art, dance performances, clowns, fireworks, battles in medieval style, concerts, bike shows, etc.
And finally, the Museum Night is a great opportunity to meet with friends in a romantic atmosphere.Sounds great!
