Construction of the new Budapest Metro Line 4, the Metro4, started on
23 January 2006 and came to end on 28 March 2014.
I travelled on the new metro line on the first day and got off at
all the 10 stations to take photos.
That was
when the idea came that I should devise a Scottish dance consisting of
10-bar parts ;-)
Eventually, the dance got its final form 11 months after the opening
of the Metro4.
