Communcation
by Heniko
Hungarian is a notoriously difficult language to learn as it's not similar to any other European tongue. Listening to locals speak or looking at written notices can leave a tourist feeling helpless and baffled. Fortunately, you'll find that many young people have enthusiastically taken to learning English (as they rightly see it as the language of business or their key to a well paid job with a foreign employer). German is spoken by a significant number of older Hungarians. So chances are, you'll be able to get by without too many problems.
However, a few well-chosen words of Hungarian will endear you to local people. Indeed, you may even make a friend for life! While pronunciation is difficult, Hungarians won't worry as they'll be pleased that you made an attempt to speak their language.
If all else fails, remember the phrase "Beszél itt valaki angolul?". It simply means does anyone here speak English?

The photo is showing Alain who's lining up to get me a drink !
No holding hands with your children?
by Dabs
We wondered what these signs could possibly mean, could you not hold hands with your children? Or men and children not allowed?
In reality it signifies the end of the pedestrian only zone on Vaci Utca but that's rather evident as you see the cars whizzing by.....
