Sziget is a week-long festival on an island in the middle of Budapest. It was perfect. Could it be compared to Woodstock? Maybe. I don't think the whole sex and drugs stuff were that essential to the hippie experience, it's about being out of your mind. To have no worries. No worries at all. Which is something I am not very good at, normally. But without being a zombie, and still having certain 'must do's while without being driven by them. Of course, there was the great music, Chemical Brothers, Cassius and Mr Scruff were some of my personal favorites. There was the social side, the loner side, the cultural side; it surprised me how a festival can have such a diverse travel-package. But on top of it all, it was so damn good to feel simply relieved of life while dancing to the rhythm, for hours and hours.
