    Default AW: Ich habe einen Hunger für Ungarn!

    Enjoy the paprika. Be sure to take advantage of Hungary's central location and visit the surrounding countries if you can.

    Budapest I assume?

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Paprika is Serbian, it just that spread from Hungary throughout the world. So, to properly enjoy it, he would have to travel several hundreds km south.

    Budapest is a beautiful city, I'm sure you'll like it. Too bad it's almost December so you can't go swimming in Balaton. Unfortunately, that's pretty much it for Hungary, unless you like to visit spas and that sort of things...

    If you want to see some real History visit the Fort of Eger. (about 1-2 hours from Budapest by train).

    Budapest has also got some places worth visiting (although its a little cramped).
    You should visit Ópusztaszer - its near Szeged on the southern Borders - accoding to Legend this was the place the Magyar tribes made there first Capital - supposedly on the same site Attila the Hun had his Capital while the Huns used the Carpathian basin as a base of operation. (Some legends claim Attila was buried not far from there in the River Tisza - but there is no way tp prove it).
    The famous "Feszty - Körkép" - is also there. Its original title (A magyarok bejövetele) can be translated as "the coming of the magyars" or something like that. It depicts the arrival of the Magyar tribes in the Carpathian basin under the Leadership of Árpád, Grand Prince of the Magyars (more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81rp%C3%A1d)

    There are many beautiful cities aswell like Kecskemét, Debrecen, Sopron (the city of loyalty) and many more.

    If you need more information just Pm me.
