I think so, too, it’s a beautiful country. Hi Yau, indeed there’s a legend which says Huns and Hungarians are related. Althought their names are very similar in English and other languages (Hungarian, however, is "Magyar" in my language), there’s no real historical proof of relationship. Nevertheless, many people look upon Hungarians as Hun descendant or relation. My firstname is Attila which can be known as the name of the king of Huns. As I know this name is given only in Hungary and perhaps in Turkey but I’m not sure about it. So, I don’t have a clue what the true is.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/2/bdgmr/Post.htm#118933Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:53:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:118933yau6http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/2/bdgmr/Post.htm#118933http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-118933.xmlI remembered the first time I heard about "Hungary"'s English name, I was so silly to think it was anything related to Hungry. When growing up, "Huns" immediately comes to my mind when talking this country. I always wondered if both are related or not. Then Hungary became the name in a history book to illustrate the super power of Mongolian. It said their army reached as far as Hungary and my classmates "wow!" on it.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/2/bdgmr/Post.htm#118928Mon, 26 Jan 2009 05:53:58 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:118928jupath7http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/2/bdgmr/Post.htm#118928http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-118928.xmlThe previous post was sent by me but I didn't see I was logout.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/2/bdgmr/Post.htm#118900Mon, 26 Jan 2009 05:53:58 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:118900Anonymous8http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/2/bdgmr/Post.htm#118900http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-118900.xmlAnonymus, I see that you indeed know a lot about what happened in Hungary after the WW II. We were given Stalin in Jalta similar to other Central Eastern European countries. Thus it was no wonder that communists, with Soviet tanks behind them, were able to seize the power and set up communist dictatorship in 1949. But, thank God, the red power was over 15 years ago, whereupon Hungary became democratic country.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#117611Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:53:58 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:117611Anonymous9http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#117611http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-117611.xmlred totalitarian power, which unfortunately still remains, since Rákosi (Róth Manó), Marosán, Apró, and other "nice" fellows got the power in 1947(more or less), thanks to the "blue ballot" system ant the salami tactics.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#113031Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:53:58 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:113031KYsheeplover0610http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#113031http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-113031.xmlI've never been, but I think it's a beautiful country.

I’m glad that you enjoyed being in Budapest. I’m sorry that you have no good experience with the underground. Sometimes the system is very difficult for Budapester as well. In my opinion it’s terrible, similar to the controllers. You must have been punished in the underground but, to tell you the truth, many inhabitants of Budapest are also punished. There are a lot of conflicts between controllers and travellers. Anyway, the whole system needs reform.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#102976Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:53:58 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:102976David14http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#102976http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-102976.xmlGreat music . Excellent stuffed quail. Enjoyed the steam baths at the Gellert. Walked past parliament to the centre from my hotel evey day I was there. No one believed me it was quite a walk.

I didn' t know the system for buying underground tickets.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#101555Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:53:58 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:101555jupath15http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutHungary/bdgmr/post.htm#101555http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments19-101555.xmlHi Basil!
