The Bridge at Andau - still a distance to safety
August 19, 2010. The Bridge at Andau, made famous by the James Michener book about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The original bridge is gone, taken down by the Russians after the escape attempts to Austria by so many Hungarians in 1956. This is a memorial reconstruction of the bridge. The original footbridge was not a covered bridge. This is not the same location as the border road between Andau and Janossomorja-- it is about 5 miles south of Andau, where the Austria-Hungary border makes a sharp turn from north-south to east-west. It is at this location where the escape attempts occurred as the actual road between Andau and Janossomorja was only a bike path until recent years, and the border at that point was heavily guarded. The footbridge here was over a drainage ditch in a very swampy area that was extremely difficult to cross, but because of that, was also less-heavily guarded by the Russians. As explained in the Michener book, once the Hungarian refugees were across the bridge, they were still not safe-- there was a swampy no-man's land to cross to get to the border. You can see that distance in this video-- the border is marked by the fence, topped by barbed wire, a distance from the end of the bridge. So there was still danger to get to Austria once they were across the bridge.

My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.

I am very fortunate that I can spend a large part of my life travelling, thanks to the business I chose to run which allows me to do this. There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

Outside the cemetery of Mosonszentpéter
August 17, 2010. Sitting outside the gates of the cemetery of Szent Peter in Janossomorja, Hungary, during my first visit to the cemetery. I had an appointment to meet the cultural director in the town so did not have time to go in. I was just scoping it out for when I came back later after my meeting.
