Maiutazas.hu created a query about the pursuits of people on holiday at Lake Balaton. The not representative survey yielded a bunch of information that were hardly surprising (e.g. people travel to the Balaton to rest), but 10+ per cent of the respondents also admitted to expecting the conception of their child to take place during the holiday.
We don't know what audience chanced upon the survey of maiutazas.hu, but it seems somewhat unrealistic that 39% of the respondents finds time for sports every day while on holiday. Of course one can argue what the notion of sports includes, as it is a fact that going paddle biking has retained its popularity (82%) for over 20 years now. It does seem, however, closer to truth that every second person takes a selfie at the Balaton, still not all of today's trends have reached the shores yet.
The results of the survey (wherein 59% of the respondents did actually visit Lake Balaton this year) make it clear that the gastronomical revolution is as far from the lakeside as Putin is from the Nobel Peace Prize 2014. The Pavlovian response is triggered primarily by pancakes (80%), sausages (79%) and hake (73%). For now. This didn't really catch us unawares, but the fact that in the crossfire of so many local wineries people travelling to Lake Balaton still yearn more for a good cold beer than a glass of Légli or Jásdi is beyond odd.
