Tuesday Things - Part 2

As a very warm Tuesday continues, here are some more things going on:






From The Slovak Spectator, the new U.S. ambassador arrives in Slovakia.




From About Hungary, Hungarians celebrate Saint Stephen's Day.  (This Saint Stephen was Hungary's first king, whose reign started in or around 1,000 A.D., and should not be confused with the early Christian martyr whose feast is celebrated on the day after Christmas.)



From The Moscow Times, French President Emmanuel Macron calls Russia "deeply European" - in Russian.  (I have a feeling that it might be similar to the Polish głęboko europejski.)

From Romania-Insider, the Romanian natural gas company Romgaz plans to bid for offshore concessions.  (If you read Romanian, read more at Economica and Bursa.)

From Novinite, the White Brotherhood of Bulgaria gather for rituals in the Rila Mountains.  (They are not white supremacists but followers of a religious movement that combines Orthodox Christianity with Indian mysticism.)




From the Greek Reporter, what to eat in Greece.















From the Evening Standard, the Sadiq Khan blimp sells on eBay for £16,000.  (Like the Trump baby blimp, the Sadiq Khan blimp will never be as cool as the Pink Floyd pig.)
