August 20th disaster

i know this is a bit late to comment on since August 20th was a while ago but i still feel the need to say something about it .
On August 20th in Hungary we have a national holiday where we celebrate stuff ( i wont go into it ) anyway every year its this big event in the city but they managed fabulously to ruin it. The one The thing i used to look forward to was the Red bull air race and the 'lovely' organiseres cancelled it now for the second time in a row so i thought this air / water parade might be good lets go down and watch it . when it started 3 helicopters whent by then nothing for 15 min then 3 planes whent by. meanwhile random boats where zig zagging down the Danube and i guess that was the water parade. we had to wait another 30min for the thing to start in which we saw like 4 planes who whent by 2x (i think to make it look like there where more) the only thing that was actually worth watching where the planes that did loop the loops.
Now there was also this so called street of taste which had a few tents with like massive quese and they all sold like one kind of food.
The fireworks where also pretty disapointing they had the same thing down the whole Danube, and silly me was looking for something spectacular since they said they spent twice as much on it than last year. And the music OMG the radio that went the whole day seriously sucked.
too sum up the day the most interesting thing was a paper bag that flew past us in the sky while we where waiting for some planes to fly bye. and lets just say probably for the next few years i wont be going in to watch the August 20th celebrations .

  1. red bull air race was cancelled for the whole world because last year, just before the race in Hungary, a guy died, so last years was suspended then (around the time the race should have been in Hungary) they decided that they will cancel next season (this year) so they can rework the rules to make it safer for the pilots, otherwise I agree on every point! it should have been better!
