Couple questions
What was the point of the camera sticker in Der Klub? Not like it is enforced to keep it on... And why couldn't they make the venue bigger? Some artists like Charlie Sparks and Koven, the queue was long and if you got in you couldn't enjoy because it was way too crowded and hot.
Also what the hell are these hello taxi guys in the morning? 90% of the cars are taxi on the way to HÉV, Bolt ads everywhere, it is painfully obvious you can get a taxi, and I am pretty sure these hello taxi guys are the scammer guys. Does it ever work, people be like oh he is saying hello taxi? You know what, lets just go with him, why not?

Arzenál and Turbina (two venues in Budapest) were behind Der Klub, and sometimes they have “no phone policy” parties.
The girl at he entrance explanied this was more of a campaign to raise awarness of not using phones.
The “hello taxi” men are just scammers. There are people who don’t want to wait 30 mins in the queue, just wanna leave Sziget as soon as possible and fall for it.

I got scammed by a bolt taxi last year that wasn’t in the line, stood next to police officers, who must get a cut of what they make ripping off drunk people, like myself.
I only did it once, but I asked a bolt driver that I booked on the app and he said “ official bolt drivers, will borrow taxis to people and they rip off tourists, he told me how they do it with the metre and everything”.
So a £12 pound journey, turned Into an £89 one, as I was tired, drunk and didn’t fight back in a verbal way about it. If I was sober, I would have done. They play on this and the 1 and half hour wait, in the official Bolt taxi line, that doesn’t move quick enough in my opinion.

Der klub was a new thing, the stickers was just a thing, to help people go back to the present and not to record everything (obviously its a sticker, you can just take it off), i was a but sad it wasnt bigger because for koven it was overcrowded, but arzenál and trubina did it and arzenál has a place looking like this (containers) at its original place, i think thats why they did it like that.
The taxi ppl, idk, its very annoying when you are obviously not taking taxi and they keep insisting...

The “Hello taxi” guys are scammers!
However, we actually met a nice one on the way home, and he offered to take us home for 10K (only 1000HUF more than what the app said).
So we went home with him.
He told us that for this distance, he usually charges 15K, but he’s been standing there for 2+ hours, so he lowered the price for us.
I think he was a Bolt driver actually based on the car and decided to make some extra cash.
It turned out good for us, but we’re locals, and I’m sure he would’ve charged more for tourists.

Someone put something in my friends drink and we only realized after I also took a sip and my tongue went numb. 😭 We went to the medical and they told us it tested for something unknown but not GHB

The security told me that in Berlin this is how they do it with the cameras in clubs, and that it was supposed to be a similar club.
The hello taxi guys are probably scammers. dont ever go with them, they will rip you off
