    Once while I was a student in college in Budapest, I traveled with a foreign student to class. He saw the trams and suddenly said:
    "Wow! Hungary must be very rich to bring back the retro-trams!" I looked away and said: "Sure.. that´s what happened.." :D

    I'm a black student in Gödölló, Hungary.. The transportation is really nice, and I heard they've been through alot as a country, they're really a strong country, the language is a big barrier for me although I take Hungarian classes... it's been a nice experience since I came here, they're nice people unlike what I heard before I came here... But I really thought I'll have friends from Hungary but it just difficult cos of the language. I hope I make hungarian friends soon.

    I don't know why, but as a hungarian I've felt super chilled during the video, hearing my culture, country, traditions from a foreigner who can understand us.

    I've been to Hungary 7 times and love it there, their educational system has switched from German to English as a second language so more and more of the youth there can converse in English especially in Budapest so if your planning a trip to Europe I would definitely recommend putting Budapest on your itinerary, it has maintained it's old world charm. Thanks for the upload it brought back so many good memories.

    For Americans its weird that Europeans are hung up on what happened 100years ago, because for Americans saying 200 years ago, was a long time and is considered history. For us Europeans saying 100-200 years ago, its like talking about last year. For us it's not a long time, its within reach, for we have been here for 1000s of years. Its really interesting to see their point of view.

    True. In Hungarian your use of language changes depending on who you are having a conversation with. Children, middle aged and the elderly. When speaking with the elderly, the form changes to show a level of respect...

    I love public transportation in Budapest too! Especially when I don't have to use it, But rarely I do, then it brings back all the memories from the last 20 years, the same platform, interior, scent, and cars. In the Netherlands they built an open air museum that has old trains and trams among other things. In Budapest you can get the same experience for the price of a single ticket! I like that positivity!

If I may ask pls contact me about us citizens making a trip in hungary, especially in the western region because in that case I could be a bit of help to You. Thank You!
