The Luminous Festival in Lusail City , Qatar is a fantastic suggestion for those looking to escape the harsh realities of the world we are living in and immerse themselves in the enchanting realm of light shows and displays. For those seeking an escape to a world of LED ballerinas, glowing jugglers, a laser man, and an illusionist creating a sense of a better world.
Visitors get a unique experience at the festival, which blends Qatari heritage and modern culture. A great place to take kids. Interactive activities and entertainment abound. Since it's free, I recommend weekdays since weekends are usually crowded. Though "Al Sa’ad Plaza " is large.

Strolling around in the Japanese Pavilion at Expo2023 this caught my eye ."Japanese technologies ,controlled environments will bring fresh strawberies to the Qatari market all year around .Coming soon ! Can't wait !
I have never seen so long line in front of any stall . I calcuated roughly 100 people .
The security had to put up cordons . Though everyone seemed to be waiting queitly.
I asked some women in the line .
"What are you waiting for ? "
" It is koshary "
" Do they give it for free? "
" No , but it is a famous one "
I admire people who are ready to wait so much for a dish that is thought to stand out .
That's not me at all .I just picked a Thai soup from a stall where no one was waiting .
Sitting in the park I noticed that two young Qatari women next to me were sharing
a large cup of koshary .
" Is that the famous one ?"
" Yes , we were waiting for it one hour ."
" Was it worth ? I asked
They did not answer just gave me a small portion for I can taste it .
It was not bad .You know fresh pasta with lentil , fresh tomato sauce etc
The famous Egyptian street food . A large cup for two people only cost QR 35 .
Another place I saw long queue was in front of a truck selling nothing but coffee .
Middle aged and younger Qataris were waiting patiently .They must know the brand
from their vacations in London . "Grinde"
A shorter line was in front of a Chimney Cake vendor . That is the famous Hungarian
"Kurtos kalacs " - though I think its origins are unkown to many here .Just they had tasted while on vacation in England .
Compared to the previous year ,the festival's location was far better .Al-Bida park is older and more charming place than the recently constructed Lusail boulevard .
For my taste , there were still too many burger stands . Even a restaurant named " French Cantine "
sold only hamburgers and fries .
A few spots that had something unique to offer were ; 1 .Mammig Armenian restaurant had fish in cherry sauce
2 .The Balkan Food Factory made his own pita and offered unique flavors and sauces .
3 .The flavours of Peru were available at Coya restaurant
Also there was a fancy looking gourmet restaurant serving dishes starting at QR 85 for a main course .It was absurd that they had a regular coke on their drink menu for QR 35 . Available at the stores for 2,5 rials.
Spending time in the park was very nice .Sharing a table with strangers . Escaping the cruel reality of this world ,of this era that we find ourselves in.

1 .Japanese Cheesecake
I'm a huge fan of Japanese cheese cakes .This one was absolutely brilliant. A delightful treat that won't spike your blood sugar but still satisfies your sweet tooth.This dessert strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and creaminess, just the way I like it.

There were many pleasant winter days during my early childhood in 1960s Hungary.
Yet one particular day stands out in my memory, rich with small, vivid details.
It was January, snowy and bright. One evening, my mother prepared a delicious fish jelly. She carefully poured the clear soup into small dishes and placed them near the window to cool.
I was absolutely thrilled. I waited patiently for the liquid to turn solid, checking the dishes every ten minutes. My excitement amused my mother.
“Not today, my friend,” she smiled. “Tomorrow’s lunch will be a surprise — jelly.”
I went to bed earlier than usual. Before I knew it, I was jolted awake by the sound of guests arriving. From the other room came the cheerful, animated voices of adults. It was late at night, and the air buzzed with excitement.
“Guess what?” my father burst into my room. “Your mom’s friend and her husband just had a new baby! Time to wake up and greet the newcomer!”
I was not in the mood. My father gently picked me up and carried me to the living room — and suddenly, I had a terrible tantrum. I kicked and screamed, demanding to be taken back to bed.
Everyone was shocked. So was I. I didn’t understand my own reaction.
The next morning, I expected some kind of punishment.
Instead, my mother said quietly, with a hint of sadness, “You made my friend very sad. You were tired and not quite yourself.”
Then she added, “Get dressed. We’re going to visit her and the baby. No kindergarten today — but you will have to apologize.”
I was secretly happy to stay home with my mother and my six-month-old brother. It was cozy and warm inside. But going out was even better.
Our compound was near a forest, a calm and peaceful place. That morning was bright and clear. Snow and sunshine combined with crisp, fresh air — it felt majestic.
My apology was accepted. I was given biscuits and a hot drink. The adults talked about grown-up things while I played with the babies. We placed them side by side in the crib. They were fascinated by each other, happily “talking” in their baby language.
Every now and then, my mother would say, “Imagine — they were born just days apart!”
I didn’t think much about it then. I was only four and a half years old.
I only remember feeling happy for my little brother. He was just six months old, and he already had a friend — a lovely, cheerful baby girl.
Afterwards, we walked home through the snowy wonderland.
For lunch, we finally had the jelly.
The day was gentle and unhurried. I still remember its small nuances, and they warm my heart even now.
The babies grew up and became close friends — but not forever. When they were four, my father got a new job, and we had to move far away. The friendship slowly dissolved.
As an adult, I learned more about that night when the baby was brought home. It had been an adoption from a foster home. The process was meant to be long and complicated, but while the director was on vacation, the deputy director approved everything quickly.
That winter night carried more meaning than I ever knew.
