Ingredients will be prepared and everyone will have a chance to roll their own sushi roll with whatever fillings they would like. Rolling mats will be provided and everyone will have their own individual bowl of water for dipping hands so there won’t be any double dipping!

We will try our hardest to make sure that it is as safe as possible for everyone, including everyone having their own towel for drying hands, etc.

It will be a fun lunch and a chance to visit among friends.

The Bloodletter’s Daughter: A Novel of Old Bohemia by Linda Lafferty

Within the glittering Hapsburg court in Prague lurks a darkness of which no one dares speak…

In 1606, the city of Prague shines as a golden mecca of art and culture carefully cultivated by Emperor Rudolf II. But the emperor hides an ugly secret: his bastard son, Don Julius, is afflicted with a madness that pushes the young prince to unspeakable depravity. Desperate to stem his son’s growing number of scandals, the emperor exiles Don Julius to a remote corner of Bohemia where the young man is placed in the care of a bloodletter named Pichler. The bloodletter’s task: cure Don Julius of his madness by purging the vicious humors coursing through his veins.

When Pichler brings his daughter Marketa to assist him, she becomes the object of Don Julius’s frenzied –and dangerous– obsession. To him, she is the embodiment of the women pictured in the Coded Book of Wonder, a priceless manuscript from the imperial library that was the mad prince’s only link to sanity. As the prince descends further into the darkness of his mind, his acts become ever more desperate, as Marketa, both frightened and fascinated, can’t stay away.

Inspired by a real-life murder that threatened to topple the powerful Hapsburg dynasty, The Bloodletter’s Daughter is a dark and richly detailed saga of passion and revenge

What do a murdered squirrel, a tiny tank, and a Hungarian puppet have in common? No, this isn’t some weird riddle; they are all the artistic antics of Mihály Kolodko (a Ukrainian sculptor with Hungarian origins.)

His mini statues keep popping up throughout the city. We have no idea what Kolodko will think of next, but it’s fun to find out.

Discovering my District: District 2 Tour
2020-11-02 10:30 - 13:00
Come and explore the secrets of one of our member’s neighborhoods, the Rózsadomb and Országút area of District II.

We will talk about old and new, vineyards and factories, industrialists and architects, scientists and poets. I would like to bring you up the hill onto the quieter, greener streets above Margit Körút, but also to show you old and new areas hiding in the flat Országút area.

Wear good shoes and bring a walking stick if you like – we may do some stairs, but I am aiming to find the gentler routes!

We can finish as always, with lunch or coffee at a local spot.
