Merv 129 Posted June 7, 2004 Took this pic in Budapest, signboard advertising a restaraunt. Name of the place is "Fatal", just seemed hilarious to me. Found out later that the name refers to a type of wooden platter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 52 Posted June 8, 2004 Merv,I certainly know of one or two restaurants where it would have been fatal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinceb 13 Posted July 22, 2004 Hi All Immigrants,Other than my other interests, I also have had a long interest in history - if only because nobody ever learns from it !We went for two weeks to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia - lot of Canadian history there. It was also nice to see the Atlantic ocean again, a much wilder beast than the pacific ocean.I can highly recommend the Pier 21 Museum/Interprative centre in Halifax, which was an important immigration processing centre when immigrants arrived by boat.The history has been presented in a sensitive manner and it was easy to understand the angst, mixed emotions and expectations of the new immigrants to a strange country. Many recollections of past immigrants have been videotaped and can be viewed. What stayed with me however was this message: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
