    As a Brazilian, I love Hungary and the Hungarians. My co-workers from Hungary are some of the finest people I've met. Their cuisine is tasty such as the Brazilian with lots of spices including paprika (for some reason Brazilians love paprika too), they REALLY know how to drink (they drink their pálinka as we drink our cachaça), and their currency is as shitty as ours. I also love that Hungarian sense of humour is very similar with the Brazilian one, they are great on the dry humour as we Brazilians.
    Anyway, Hungary is a familiar place for Brazilians, and vice versa for Hungarians, just that they're a cold Brazil and we are a tropical Hungary. Magyarország 🇭🇺🤝🇧🇷 Brasil

    Eastern Hungarian here, standing up for this part of the country: It's a perfectly fine place with so many amazing places such as the Bükk mountains including Eger, Miskolc and Lillafüred (recommend visiting it via the narrow gauge railway from Miskolc), the Bódva valley (though it's the poorest part of the country), the Zemplén mountains with it's vineyards and many more.

Furthermore close to Gyöngyös there are numerous dangerous villages, so in this topic I can not see any differences between the two locations...BTW.: Lillafüred is the part of Miskolc.

    Some small corrections:
    - Buda and Pest were united in 1873
    - Bolt is also a taxi company in Budapest. There are several other trustworthy ones like Budapest Taxi, Főtaxi and 6x6 Taxi. Just remember **not waving a taxi**, juse their application.
    - The burning buses shown are Turkish (Karsan Atak) buses. We don't have any Chinese buses in the city (at least on the blue bus lines).
    - The Chinese university (Fudan) won't probably (and fortunately) open in 2024, since the project is at standstill since years.
    Everything else is accurate AF.

    To avoid scams, have a Hungarian speaking mate with you at all times, and let them speak first wherever you go. They will instinctively help you avoid eating at places that would rip you off, also being able to formulate Hungarian sentences lowers the prices by 50-75% in all restaurants.

Especially explained so well, like I was listening to an actual Hungarian tell me what it's like there. I'm not even exagarating. Everything was on point! 90% of the very least. And I am very glad that your type of CZcamsrs who are among my favourites rn - Wowmao, Gattsu and Living Ironically In Europe, - are forming this community of CZcamsrs with the same interests and content, which allows you to get even closer to the places you cover. Without all of your experiences, and especially János' insights into Hungary, this video would be no more interesting or high quality than any other video. But this is awesome! Truly great work guys!

A taxisoknál meg nem vágta a filippínó fickó, hogy a szabadúszók és a hivatásosok között van különbség - de honnan is tudhatta volna ha sose járt itt.

      Teacher protests here are meaningless, they should just get another job if they hate it so much. What's way more worrying is how the political elite buys up land and property with the money they steal from taxpayers. They even use mafia-methods like coercion, extortion and blackmail if they want your property or business that you don't want to sell. And let's not mention the battery factories that they keep bringing in to boost the economy despite massive disapproval and protests from locals due to them destroying entire regions - or the forced immigration of Asians who will get to work at these places...

I travelled accross the country and never met anyone who wasn't hungarian and did not speak hungarian and wasn't tourist.

    As a Hungarian I'm impressed how many hungarian memes you included that were big in the country, well done!

    I have a Hungarian friend. Everybody should have a Hungarian friend. I've known him for many years. This video explains a lot.
