Answer: édes

Hungary is a mostly flat country, dominated by the Great Hungarian Plain east of the Danube.

The land rises into hills and some low mountains in the north along the Slovakian border. The highest point is Mt Kekes at 3,330 ft. (1,015m)

The Danube is the major river, as it divides the country almost in half. Other rivers of significance include the Drava and Tisza. Danube is also the second longest river in the European Union, the first is Volga.

There is no current capital that borders both the Black and Mediterranean Seas as the distance between them at their closest point is around 500 kilometers or 300 miles. However, Turkey, the only country that borders both Seas has an inland capital at Ankara.

During the days of the Ottoman Empire (1453-1923), Istanbul, the only city on both the Aegean Sea (an arm of the Mediterranean Sea) and Black Seas, was the capital of that state. Istanbul still remains Turkey's largest metropolis even though the authority of government remains vested in Ankara.

The national animals of Hungary are the Turul (large mythical falcon) and Csodaszarvas (mythical deer).

As always in such cases, they went were they were accepted and could find jobs and so on. They were scattered over a wide range of Western countries.

Vágyom rád. (I desire you. - both physically and emotionally, this expression is much nicer or more romantic than "Akarlak.")

We just returned from a trip to Central Europe that included a train ride from Budapest to Athens, Greece.

The total journey takes about 28-30 hrs. The official schedule shows 28 hrs but the trains in those part of the world are always late (ours was over 3 hrs late reaching Thessaloniki).

The trains travels through 4 countries (Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece). Out of these 4, Serbia and Mecedonia are not part of EU so passport control is needed.

The train from Budapest to Belgrade leaves at 1 pm and reaches Belgrade around 8:30pm. You don't need reservations but it does get full. The 2nd class coaches are a bit run down from their EU counterparts. There is no fan or a/c in the compartments and the seats are a bit worn. There is a restaurant car on the train but we didn't use it. Instead, carry some food with you from Budapest since this can be a long trip. It does get hot in the summer so dress accordingly.

The train stops at each border twice (before and after crossing). At each point, there is a passport/visa check. It can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes each!. Beware, that if you don't have USA/EU passport, then you will need a visa to enter Serbia & Mecedonia (even though you are only passing thru). My friend didn't have the Serbian visa and he was asked to get down at border (Sabotica crossing) and sent back to Budapest.!!.

You will have to change the train at Belgrade. This is a night train so I highly recommend having a reservation in the couchette coach. These are sleeper seat. They are kind a small (each compartment sleeps 3 people). They provide sheets, pillow and blanket. Again, there is no a/c or fan in the car. The train reaches Thessaloniki, Greece in the afternoon. If you are lucky, you will make the connection with the ZUG intercity train going to Athens. If not, then you will have to wait in Thessaloniki for 3-4 hrs to get a connection. You can also fly from Thessaloniki to Athens for about 100 euros.

Hungary had been part of the Austro-Hungarian empire for centuries prior to 1919. They were a natural ally of Germany. In 1919 Hungary emerged a ruined country. In some ways they were even more severely punished than the Germans. About 40% of all Hungarians were forced to transfer political control of their homelands to other nations such as the Union of Serbs and Romania. Poland also got a few. These Hungarians, used to being the rulers, now became the ruled. Economically Hungary was also ruined. The inflation in Germany in the 1920's is well known. Less well known is that the Hungarian inflation of the same era was even worse. This wrecked savings, investment, and the middle class. Shrunken, bankrupted,with nearly half her people living under foreign flags, the Hungarians were ripe for some payback. When German power began to grow after 1933, Hungary took note. As with all nations in eastern and middle Europe, there was a huge fear of the Soviets. The Hungarians were a natural ally of Germany when she began her crusade to eliminate Soviet power. Her soldiers fought well in the war against Russia but were no match in numbers or equipment for the Red Army. After the war, Hungary was looted and pillaged by the Soviets like the rest of eastern Europe. It is also interesting to note that only two major uprisings against Soviet imperialism occurred in eastern Europe. The Germans, of course, rebelled and were put down by Soviet troops. The other uprising was in Hungary in 1956. There was a lot of 'hot air' in the West about coming to the aid of Hungary but in the end the Soviets were allowed to crush that nation's attempt to regain freedom and nothing was done by the UN or any western power.

From Dublin to Istanbul is about 1841 miles or 2963 kilometres.

I assume we are talking about money. In Hungary, they use a currency called the "forint". Coins available: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200. Paper money denominations (notes) available: 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 forints.

Hogy vagy? = How are you (informal)

should sound like hody vahdy with a long o and a short "a" sounds that sounds

like the equivalent of saying "ah" in English. The gy is considered to be one letter in the Hungarian language and it makes a "dy" sound like you would find in the British pronunciation of the word "dew," or the way the French would say, "adieu." One thing that the Hungarian language has going for it is easy pronunciation. The letters always make the same sounds. However, the grammar is difficult in an off-the-charts way because it is very complex.

On the 1st May 2004 Hungary joined the EU (European Union)

Hungary's environment is beautiful It has warm long summers and winters that are cold. It is home to more than 2000 plants.
