I sat in a beautiful bar and drank some beers and ate gulasch soup, while I talked with some Hungarians on the other table. I told them I like football and Sweden will play against Hungary in September 2011 and I plan to go there. They told me I should try to avoid the football hooligans from Hungary. I told I did not come to meet them, but I promised to be nice to them! So, here I forward the warning for the Hungarian hooligans!!! According to them they are very violent.
Beware of pickpockets in large cities especially at crowded places like the Central Market Hall, West End City Center or Central Railway Station in Budapest where pickpockets are common every day! Don't carry your ricksakes or other travelling bags behind your back. The best way is to carry them in front of you so that you are aware of what is going on in front of you. Don't put all your money in a wallet in one pocket and bring only enough money for the day! Leave your passport at hotel's safe depost box. You do not need your passport to enter a casino in Hungary.Leave a Comment
Here is a good one. I have been travelling a lot over the years, gone through plenty airport security checks, but Hungary's Budapest Airport security check takes the cake! On our last exit with my husband, we unloaded our personal belongings into the grey bins that they roll through the X-ray machine for security check. I went in front of my husband, since I usually have less things on me. My husband has put his computer in one bin, then took off his coat, his small bag and put them in the next grey bin. Then put his Scottish tartan pattern hat on top his coat and his glasses inside. Then he went through the metal detector and on the other side, he started to collect his belongings. Guess what!!! His hat was missing. Gone. His glasses at the bottom of the bin, on top of it his coat, hat gone. Everyone was just shrugging their shoulders. He spent over half an hour trying to find it, to no...
Hungarian cuisine is rich and tasty, but if you are looking for dietary food items on the menu, you may be in for a surprise... In a restaurant in the Matra region, under the heading "Dietary Foods", we found the following suggestions:- Cauliflower fried in breadcrumbs- Mushrooms fried in breadcrumbs- Cheese fried in breadcrumbsYummy, but not much choice for dieters... So, you might as well enjoy it and stop counting calories while you are in Hungary!!
It says in my guidebook to be careful around Keleti station and while we were waiting for a train at 1 p.m. we got talking to 2 English students who were waiting for the same train. When we got on the train and found some seats one of the guys realised his wallet had been stolen - in broad daylight. Luckily he had no money or credit cards (he was a student after all) in there but he lost his driving license, bank debit card and (most important for him) his student union card. So be really careful - its so easy to be distracted in a busy station.
Hungary always had "zero tolerance" law. The allowed alcohol level in the blood is 0.00%. The number of dead due road accidents is on the raise. I did read recently, the lawmakers decided to increase the fines tenfold. Fines of 300000 HUF won't be uncommon. This is going to happen within next few month.This is the last opportunity to take your drink and WALK away after a police check relatively cheap (provided, you survive before the traffic). You won't be allowed to drive, but at least the fine won't be that high as in few weeks from now.
It's easy. Only few percent (5? 10? not more) follow that procedure and once in a while they make sure their voice is heard. Otherwise you can see cars with strange stickers and some transparents guarded by a fence or maybe more.How to become a loser?1) Drop out of school. 2) Dump your g/f. 3) Resign from your job.4) Make Youtube the sole source of news.5) Remember: Hungary's all neighbors are your enemies.6) USA, Russia, China are your enemies, join http://www.hvim.hu/7) The root cause of every trouble is Israel, the enemy #1. They conspire with Chinese, Americans, Russians and the rest.8) Declare war on your enemies. You know: you will win because you are stronger than they.9) Decorate your car like on this picture. And it's perfect now. With that car you won't be able to travel abroad because it may offend a few people, but it' not a big deal. Well...in Hungary we are lucky: it is...
·:*¨`*:·~My§ticÄl~·:*¨`Latest NewsHungary is a land-locked country, located in the heart of Central Europe, which shares borders with seven other countries. It is situated in the Carpathian basin on mostly plain terrain. It has both surface and subsurface waters. The largest and shallowest lakes of the Central European region, such as Lake Balaton or LakeVelence, can be found in the country. The whole of Hungary's territory belongs to the DanubeRiver basin, with Tisza and Dráva being the Danube's most important tributaries. Some 95% of Hungary's surface waters originate outside its borders so the quality is almost impossible to control. They are vulnerable to contamination from leakages of industrial contaminants such as arsenic (also from natural sources) and heavy metals. Surface water pollution, either indigenous or originating abroad, may result in environmental problems in the...
In 2002, only 56% Hungary's households had sewage treatment facilities and there is much to do, at great cost, to meet EU requirements in this area. Even though the current water consumption figures are much lower than the EU average - consequently, wastewater discharge is also lower - it is also more concentrated in pollutants and significant differences between the regions exist, with Central-Hungary, Northern Hungary and the two Great Plain Regions being the most underdeveloped. Although large-scale investments have already been carried out, using EU funding -ISPA before and Cohesion after the country's EU accession in May 2004 -, it is going to take years before Hungary can meet EU criteria. Hungary has the greatest area requiring flood protection in Europe, with nearly 25% of the country's territory occupying the flood planes. Areas prone to flooding will experience minor or average...
Hungary is rich in subsurface waters of good quality, which are put to many uses. The quality of these waters is sufficiently good to meet about 90% of the demand for drinking water in Hungary without any substantial treatment (work is required however to meet the requirements of the EU Drinking Water Directive). By contrast, much shallow groundwater and some confined groundwater resources are already polluted with pollutants such as arsenic and iodine leached from water-bearing rocks. The sector has suffered from decades of under-investment and although 93.1% of the households are supplied with drinking water through mains water supply, only 60% of the population live in settlements where the quality of drinking water meets the quality standards of the 98/83 EC Directive. Hungary has not asked for derogation from the above Directive and the total cost of the improvement of the drinking...
