Can you folks that want to argue, disagree strongly etc. KINDLY do so via personal messages available here? Please. This is supposed to be helpful to ALL the Ex Pats interested in, Living in, concerned with Hungarian living. Stress is on the HELPFUL part, not argumentative, contradictory etc. Simple facts work well enough I think. ALL countries have their quirks, oddities and all that. That said, Hungary is Hungary. IT is NOT the Untied States, the U.K. nor Australia or any other country. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That is the best thing to remember. Listen, watch and learn, then act as you think and feel will accomplish your goals best and quietest.
