Miért jó, ha megvalósul az ötleted?
I have lived and worked more than 4.5 years in Budapest as an expat, I feel struggled to get local information. I followed I love Budapest and other program guides in facebook to get outsider and insider tips, but I want to experience more local lifestyle as Budapester.
Among all the resources, two books published by locals inspired me a lot: Budapest: Birth of a Metropolis and Budapest Bejaro, which really show By the Locals and For the Locals. As expats, its also a great way to connect this interesting city - Read like the Locals.
Its not a totally start from zero project, its just one extra mile. There are already very useful news and tips in Enbudapestem, both app and website. It will be very beneficial to reuse these information on time and spread among expats.
Expats are different from tourists, they should get more deeper resource and integrate in local community as much as possible.
