Oh yes, it’s Ono! She’s exotic, dazzling, intelligent and loads of fun. We asked her the usual questions we ask our Stag Republic guides - read on for the not so usual responses:

Where were you born? I was born in Ulan Bator. (or Ulaanbaatar - the capital and largest city of Mongolia)

Which languages do you speak? I speak French, Mongolian, Hungarian, and English and I just started to learn Japanese.

What music do you like? My favourites are punk and californian punk.  I like some rock bands too, but at parties I like techno and hip-hop.

What is your favourite movie? I don’t really have just one, but The Dark Knight is amazing. I also like Tim Burton movies like Sweeney Todd and Alice in Wonderland.

What do you like to do in your free time? Traveling, traveling , traveling! I love to meet people from different cultures, that’s one of the reasons why I chose this job.  I also do sports, mainly extreme sports.  I love concerts, I play several instruments (clarinet, flute, guitar, citera).  I love horse-riding too.

Favourite restaurant/café/club in Budapest? And why? I like almost all the restaurants on Liszt Ferenc square and the ones on the Danube. My top choices are Spoon, Menza, Café Vian and Minyon, which is next to the Deák square. I love being near the Liszt Academy of Music - where many of these are located. I don’t have to explain why I love to be next to the Danube: views of the Royal Palace,the Parlaiment, Gellért Hill. For me, besides a delicious menu, those views make for a perfect lunch or dinner!  I also like Obuda Island -  it’s full of clubs, and if you don’t like one, there’s another one just ten metres away. During winter I like Club Play, and several clubs on Buda side.

Favourite stag activity and why? Pub Crawls, club crawls and boat cruises. These are the activities when I can talk to everyone in the group a lot, and get to know each of them better. I can talk about Budapest’s history or nightlife, depends on what my group is interested in. The boat cruises are simply beautiful.

What’s the one thing you tell all your stag groups? ENJOY BUDAPEST!

Funniest stag group story? Once, the stag just disappeared during the pub crawl. We were all very worried about him, and the entire group was looking for him for more than two hours. We went back to the clubs where we’d been, called him a millions of times, but he just didn’t answer. We went back at the hotel, we asked the Dj in Morrisons if he could make an announcement - we did everything we could but  just couldn’t find him. After all that worrying and looking, he was finally found, passed out in the toilet at a club.  Maybe handcuffing the stags to the guides would prevent this from happening again… HA! like our guides would go for that…

Budapest stag guide Annie had the pleasure of hosting a group 29 fine Irish lads who were in Budapest to play Hurling and Gaelic Football. She was kind enough to document the event in pictures:

For more information on these Irish sports here’s a great article: http://bit.ly/bG32o2

Yes! Another lovely guide! Can you believe it?! We here at Stag Republic consider ourselves VERY lucky. Zsofi (or Sofia for you monolinguists) has oodles of experience guiding stag groups through party-infested Budapest. We asked her the usual questions - and we got some very entertaining and unique answers:

Where were you born?
In the coolest city of Central Europe - that’s where you guys are heading now - Budapest.

What languages do you speak?
Perfect English, beer German and a bit of pulling Greek.

What are you studying or where do you work?
I’m a biology student in Szeged - sounds nerdy, but I’m used to the funny faces when I mention it. The white coat fits me well.

What music do you like?
It really depends on my mood: One day I feel like French electro, dubstep, then Brit-pop and than some d’n'b. But deep down, I’m an electro-rocker-punk who will always luv The Smiths.

What is your favourite movie?
“You talkin’ to me?!”

What do you like to do in your free time?
I’m a student, my free time is my life.  I spend it doing various things like hanging out with friends and my two incredible sisters. I like long walks, nice talks and never-ending parties.

Favourite alcoholic drink and favourite food?
Beer and a cup-a-noodle is the perfect combination! A nice glass of white wine always works and when it’s getting late I  go for a vodka redbull.

Favourite restaurant/café/club  in Budapest?
Klassz is a lovely little restaurant, with a special athmosphere on Andrássy út, one of the most beautiful boulevards of Budapest. For brunch and early drinks I go to Cafe Most!.  Aaaand when it’s about nightlife I usually just let my instincts guide me around the many great clubs in the 6th, 7th and 8th districts. Merlin, West Balkán, Corvinteto, the list is pretty long…

Favourite stag activity and why?
Shooting, it’s actually one of my hobbies! Lads, you need to try the Extreme Shooting package. Pub crawl and then thermal baths the next day - I think this is the best combination (just like beer and cup-a-noodle).

What’s one thing you tell all your stag groups?
Not to mess around with bouncers! They usually don’t speak English and they always know better.

Funniest stag weekend story?
I have so many of them. I always love when the groups are in fancy dress (even though it’s a bit harder to get in to places, but I sort it out). Once I had a group of 25 sportsmen, the stag was a swimmer in Speedos. They had the funniest drinking games. Whenever someone blew the whistle everyone had to sit down on the floor and the last person to sit had to drink all of his drink in one go. I was the judge so I had the power to choose anyone I wanted!

Heeeellllooooo Kitti!  Another perfect party girl at your service here at Stag Republic.

Where do you work or where and what do you study?
I’m the marketing manager for 4Play Lounge and I received my Communications degree at the Oxford International Business School in Hungary.

How long have you been working as a Stag Republic rep?
For about a year and a half.

Interests/hobbies/sports?
I love anything FUN.  Clubbing, going to the cinema, billiards, darts, reading, skiing and travelling.

Favourite Stag Republic activities? And why?
Pub crawl because its really fun hanging out with the lads and becoming a true participant in the stag do.

Favourite alcoholic drink?
Vodka red bull

Funniest stag memory:
I could seriously write a book of stag anecdotes, but if I had to choose I had a lovely group from Dublin, with whom I truly became friends with by the end of their stay.

When I took them out on their pub crawl, it was great! But something strange was going on every time someone hugged me or made a ploy to get my attention. Pretty soon I figured out their game - whenever one of the lads was distracting me another one was posing with my ass. They started to laugh and showed me their camera, which was full of pictures of my ass!

When they went home they made a group on facebook called the fans of Kitti’s ass :D:D

What is your favorite thing about Budapest?
The nightlife. It’s absolutely fantastic. I’ve been to lots of countries but nowhere is as good as in Budapest.

What’s the best thing about being a rep for Stag Republic?
I can confidently say that I’ve been participating in more stag do’s than any man ever does and it’s absolute fun. I make so many new friends. And eventhough I’ve never been to the UK, if I ever make it there I will have at least 100 guys to go party with!

What’s one thing you recommend each stag group MUST do when in Budapest?
EVERYTHING except sleeping! Life is for living, rock this shit!

Restaurant: Sir Lancelot

Bar: Morissons 2

Clubbing: Hajógyári sziget (Shipyard Island)

Funniest stag group story? “One weekend I was taking one of my groups for a walk along Váci street, when we happened upon a live beauty pageant exhibiting bikini-clad ladies on Vörösmarty square. One of the lads from the group, who was about 65 years old, decided to get undressed (luckily his underwear stayed on),  he wrote a large number on a piece of paper (just like each model was holding) and started marching up and down in front of the stage. Everyone gathered began taking pictures of him and applauding him.” Wow, we’re sure the models were impressed…

Get to know Anita, one of our lovely guides in Budapest:

1) What are you studying?

I study Engineering Management at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) in the MSC program. I ‘m in my fifth year now - finishing soon - but before that I would like to do an internship abroad. (most likely India).

2) How long have you been working as a Stag Republic Guide?

I have been working for Stag Republic for two and a half years. I’m really lovin’  it! I love getting to know different people, showing them around our fantastic city, helping them experience true Hungarian hospitality, and making sure they have maximum fun on all their activities. Stag Republic is a very well organised company and all my colleagues are really nice. The lads always have a truly excellent weekend thanks to our whole team. All our activities are conducted professionally - everyone feels safe and well looked after.

3) Which city / cities are you a rep in?
I’m located in Budapest, the city of the Danube River, beautiful evening lights, Goulash soup, cool bars, the “old timer” Trabant cars, sunshine, gorgeous girls and pleasure. All you need!!!

4) Favourite music/artist?
I know this sounds cliché, but I like all sorts of different music: Massive Attack, Orishas, David Guetta, George Benson, E-Z Rollers. I recently went to see COLDPLAY live on their Viva la Vida tour stop in Budapest.

5) Favourite movie ever?
Paris je t’aime! (2006)
In the movie twenty short films represent the twenty arrondissements of Paris, but what is the film really about? Big city life, fortunes and situations that our beyond our control.

6) Interests/hobbies? What are your passions?
I love going for really long walks with my dog, Boni, he’s a Golden Spaniel. I like cooking, shopping, jogging, cycling without any exact place of destination and traveling for sure!!

7) Favourite stag/hen activity?
Its a shame that I can only choose one :)  weeelll, lets see:
I’ll have to choose the Trabant Trek: driving through the city to the country side, up into the hills in 50 year-old cars, driving with a bunch of English blokes not used to the steering wheel being on the left side of the car, the destination is always a nice restaurant with a delicious traditional Hungarian meal for lunch. I must say, I’m always amazed - it’s such a great fun!!!

What do you dislike?
I don’t really dislike any of the activities, but the lads can get a bit overly boisterous on the Boat Cruise. This is understandable, considering they are surrounded by gorgeous half-naked women, but I don’t really like having to fish stags out of the river during the boat cruise using a lifesaver because they just decide to jump overboard. I definitely dislike that

9) Your proudest moment with Stag Republic?
When I was voted Best Guide based on the volume of positive feedback sent by stags thanking Stag Republic for a succesful and memorable stag do, and in particular thanking me for taking such good care of them!

10) Favourite alcoholic drink?
“Fröccs” - White wine spritzer (dry wine)

11) A city you’d love to visit (but haven’t yet)?
Delhi

Part-time job that is about having fun, meeting loads of guys, networking more friends on Facebook.
