Back to Hungary

OK, I have been away from Hungary for 6 months in places people would consider better but tonight I am going back again. I am keeping my eyes open to have things written about. While being away, I met a few Hungarians in different parts of the world and they seems quite happy to be where we met. In other words, there are not many good news coming out of the country, it has not become a nicer and more comfortable environment to live in. But we'll see, maybe there are good things you don't find elsewhere.

For one thing, I am looking forward to having lunch for 3 euros, that's a kind of deal you don't get in other parts of Europe. Yes, in Asia but then you have to get there, don't you? So this is certainly going to be a positive experience.

Then sometimes, if the weather is nice, people can be very friendly. Even total strangers, they can just be affectionate towards you. This of course also goes the other way and when traffic is bad, everyone becomes nasty and mean.

And the weather. Apparently, it has not been that good but I keep my fingers crossed so that I get some of those amazing days without a single cloud in the sky.

Oh, and we will go down to Lake Balaton for a long weekend. The idea is to swim and enjoy ourselves, that is, if they let us.
