Hungarian's are the best!!!!

I have made many friend's in Hungary, I am a 58 year old, retired man, that has been studying the history of Hungary for a long time. Some on here, posting negative thing's about Hungary, really disappoint's me.

I have alway,s been helped in this country, people are polite,and, I find them friendly. There is even a 90 year old woman, who tell's everyone to speak to me in Magyar, so I will learn faster, yes, it is a hard language,but,I will learn it.

I was raised in the South, so I am a gentleman,and,I dont party or hang out at clubs and bars, I drink a good sip of whyskey every now and then, and, usually you will find me in jean's,boot's and t-shirt.

I don't go to fancy restaurant's, never have, never will, I like goulash, fish soup, potatos,beans, im a country boy by heart. if you show respect, you get respect.

The Magyar people are brave people, they revolted against the Russian's in 1956, and, many patriot's died. Their history go's back hundred's of year's. Most of the invention's that you thought were created in the US or Europe, was actually created in Hungary.

They are a free market society now, but , they are a young democracy, wages are low, and, everything is high, plus they are taxed to death.

So here,s some advice, try speaking the language, people will help you, show respect, it goes a long way. Study their history, their custom's, do something for the community, there is good and bad in every country, but , trust me, Ive seen more good in Hungary then I have the US, and, Im proud to be American, but, I didnt like George Bush and his administration, and, I dont like our business ethic's.
So make friend's, its been easy for me.
