The thing about ATM. What exactly is the issue?
Can u please tell me if Euro is accepted or they prefer Forint.
Are cards accepted commonly??
@@aashli9383 Hi there! The ATM mentioned in the video charges high fees for conversion and withdrawal. Forint is the official currency, euro is rarely accepted. Where they accept euro, the conversion rate is not that good. You can pay with card in most places except for smaller shops and market halls.
Shout out to Veszprém, right on! Nice to have you here.
Budapest is a city known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and delicious cuisine. Let's explore some local Hungarian dishes and treats.
Goulash (Gulyás): Start your culinary journey with a classic Hungarian dish - Goulash. This hearty soup/stew typically consists of meat (often beef), vegetables, and paprika, creating a flavorful and comforting meal.
Langos: A popular street food in Hungary, Langos is deep-fried flatbread usually topped with sour cream, garlic, and cheese. It's a savory treat that's both delicious and indulgent.
Chimney Cake (Kürtőskalács): For dessert, try Kürtőskalács, a sweet, spiral-shaped pastry. It's made from sweet dough, rolled in sugar and other toppings, then baked until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Fisherman's Soup (Halászlé): Since Budapest is situated along the Danube River, don't miss the opportunity to try Fisherman's Soup. It's a spicy fish soup with a rich broth, often featuring various freshwater fish.
Töltött Káposzta (Stuffed Cabbage): Experience the flavors of traditional Hungarian comfort food with Töltött Káposzta. It consists of cabbage leaves stuffed with a mixture of meat, rice, and spices, then simmered to perfection.
Rakott Krumpli: This is a layered potato casserole with eggs, sausage, and sour cream. It's a hearty and satisfying dish that showcases the influence of different cultures on Hungarian cuisine.
Dobos Torte: Finish your meal with a slice of Dobos Torte, a famous Hungarian layer cake. It consists of sponge cake layers with chocolate buttercream and a crunchy caramel top layer.
Hungarian Wines: Pair your meals with some Hungarian wines, as the country has a rich tradition of winemaking. Tokaj is particularly renowned for its sweet wines.
I hope you enjoy these culinary delights in Budapest!
Hungary is amazing, and for Budapest it’s really amazing city ..I’ve live here now 2 years
That's amazing. We are glad you are enjoying your time here. :D
May be moving to Budapest soon. Excited. I'm from Bengaluru
Sorry, but migrants from the third world are not welcome in Hungary!
Happy to welcome a kannadiga 🥰
@@vproductions454 Dhanyawada☺️
Have you moved??
2 months at Budapest,hungary and I'm loving it ❤❤
Welcome welcome! :D
as a hungarian, i personally view indian food as way too much spices blocks my taste buds i cant taste anything(not the hot part thats fine), and its funny how they say our food is bland
i think its what you grow up with you get used to it, when i make indian food i usualy read recipe 1tbs of koriander powder alright i put 1 teaspoon instead :D
I’m Hungarian and what I am hearing from expats living in Hungary is that the one thing that definitely needs improvement is the healthcare system. And I completely agree with that. The hospitals are run down and look more like homeless shelters. They are underfunded and there is a huge shortage of doctors and nurses. Most of them move abroad where they have better salaries and better conditions.
Many international students are saying that if the healthcare was better then they would more likely stay in Hungary after their studies. Other than that every expat and student I know loves living in Hungary.
She’s a very good person to interview . I want to move to Hungry from the US so I’m trying to get as much information as I can . Thank you . Cheers !
I am leaving in Australia and some time ago worked with 4 girls from India. They spoke 4 different languages, so they did not understand each other exept in english. Then I worked with another indian girl and she said there are at least 24 written languages in India.
India is a sub-continent, so I think it is normal. Anyway she was so cute (my college) but this beauty on this video looks more like a north thailand girl. 😊
Which is not bad at all... ☺
It’s a very interesting video. Nete is so cool. It’s nice to watch her talking about her experiences.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been in Australia ! In there you feel alone nightlife is destroyed in EU you can visit the all Europe ! Now you struggling to learn the language but once you get it will be really good ! Also to stay in Austrália legally is really expensive ! I’m planing to go to Budapest
I'm Hungarian and I don't even think abaut moveing to BP because how expensive it is...
Wow !!! Mete you are so cute 😍.. and loved your story ..
Thank you so much 😀
Grate video! It was interesting to hear a foreigner's opinion about my litle country.
Glad you enjoyed it!😃
Interesting name and face, and lovely girl.
I'm from the Philippines and went to Budapest in 2018. Of course compared to Manila , Budapest is much more expensive. But when they say Budapest is cheap, it is compared to other major European cities. And it is
Thank you for sharing :D
I am Hungarian and I like decent language and despise cursing. It is true unfortunately that rude exressions are often used by many here - but not by everyone, believe me. This is a homeland cultural and moral problem for many Hungarians, too.
Just back in Ireland after 4 days in Budapest .Loved it .I want to return for sure SOME TIME SOON .For me everything was cheap .The people extra friendly.
Great work 🔥🔥
Many thanks! Mete was super good in front of the camera ;D
Lovely interview, lovely girl.
Hie. Loved the video.Loved the way Mete smiled and she spoke so well. Yes , I am from North East of India from Guwahati, Assam.
We're happy you enjoyed the video! :)
Ohhhhh.. What a very informative video....
Thank you!
My understanding of Expats visiting Hungary are those Hungarians who are returning to Hungary from other countries. According to my knowledge this term is used by Australians, Americans and English. To them Expats are their brothers and kin returning to the Mother land after many years being absent from their own country.
Yes, you are correct! Thank you for being observant! Expats are people who live outside of their native country. Which makes foreigners in Hungary also expats to their own country, right? :)
It was a lovely video to watch it
Thank you for watching it!
OK. VIVA Budapest./BUDAPEST./Hungary./HUNGARY 2021.-2022.😀😀😀
thanks for sharing^^
Thank you for watching! :)

She is cute. All the best, a Hungarian guy from Budapest. ;-)
I'm Hungarian. One of my friends has an Indian husband. I really like him. And he introduced me to the real Indian cuisine. And I must say after the Hungarian cousin ( because I'm a Hungarian) the best food the Indian! I love the way they make lentils, spinach, split peas (what I always hated Hungarian way) My so called "dream is ate that lentil thing what India Jones eat. When I was young I always thought it was not so good. But since I got to know some Indian people I know it is some kind of lentils. Witch is good!
🙏🏼🕉👌good vlog
I'm from Serbia :) :) and I miss Burek a lot :( what I can find here, is not even close as good as at home :(

If i can recommend something as a good part (or full time) job for students in Budapest, its the multilingual call centers, hungarian language is not necessary to get a job like that. Btw. pay is way better than in McDonalds..:)
