  I&apos;m Irish, married to a Hungarian and we go every year. We split our time between my husbands place in Budapest and the little holiday home we have recently bought, in a small village called Toalmas. We also intend to retire there. I don&apos;t speak a lot of the language, but, I will learn it. It&apos;s a lovely country and I love it there.

  Fun fact: The Tokaj wine region was the very first of it&apos;s kind ever made in Europe. It goes back to Roman times. Hundreds of years before France even existed. The only reason French wine is more famous is because of better marketing and they weren&apos;t behind the iron curtain like we were.

  Here&apos;s a lesson I learned when I travelled through Hungary. &nbsp;Always have a pocket of 100 forent coins for the public washrooms. And if your really smart, have a roll of toilet paper too.

  About his second point: The reason you will probably travel faster from one side to another of the country through Budapest is because we used to have many big centralized cities which were these meeting points for all type of transportations, but as a 100 years ago most of Hungary&apos;s territory was cut we lost all these big cities too and only Budapest left. With that these travel ways were also cut off and there&apos;s not much connection in between other bigger hungarian cities but through Budapest. Slowly they are trying to build the highways to help this but public transport is still very slow in these terms.<br>About his third point: many people are not buying tickets for the public transport, it&apos;s not in our culture for some reason and they really trying to catch those people who don&apos;t pay for these services or at least trying to push the people towards this way of thinking. When you jump on a bus, trolley, metro etc 100% sure there will people who didn&apos;t pay for the travel.

  I’m Hungarian and I grew up in the US. I think you’ve done a wonderful job of capturing the essence and what us viewers watch your video for. I actually started by watching your other videos on other places, and you do a wonderful job all around. I appreciate people like you, very normal people, good-natured, pleasant, who make these type Videos for those of us who don’t have the opportunities to travel. Please keep doing what you’re doing for those of us who can’t. Thank you.

  Very interesting this video for me as a Hungarian. Many tourists knows Budapest is all about Hungary. But not. Just like any other capitals. My opinion is, the country side of Hungary is different. Beautiful, frendlier, silent, slow, some times sad, but there is a true Hungary. The real Hungarians are inside the houses. Not just around the restaurants. If you have a Hungarian friend, you will see how nice people lives there.

  Local here. Regarding taxis the key is to never pick up a cab from the street, always order one. There are like 3-4 bigger companies, you can use their app or just call them - the driver may not but the one picking up the phone will speak english and these all accept credit cards.
