ARC Billboard Exhibition

arcGoing for a long walk one evening last week we happened upon the annual ARC billboard exhibition near Hosok tere. Like other years, it was full of interesting and imaginative displays. The difference was the tone. Out of the 50 or so billboards, there were perhaps only 3 that were positive and happy, the rest were depressing and negative. Strangely enough, the positive happy ones were about the roma. Hungarians can still surprise me.
