Moving to Budapest

I had to look up the duties of an attraction operator.

Hate to burst your bubble but for a job like that here in Hungary, you more then likely would have to know Hungarian and perhaps even have an operators license.

Summertime is short here, not many carnivals in the off seasons.

Even in summer, they seem from the ones I have been to at least, to be a closed group of people who know each other. The rides in the city park are about the only place I know inside Budapest that has rides all year long;

Balaton has some rides but nothing huge like Magic Mountain or Disneyland.

Lake Velence has kiddie rides in the simmer but nothing to talk about.

You might have to expand your job search here.

Wages are low here too not like where you now live.

You could perhaps come for a few months a year but full time is going to be hard.

My son blew through $30,000 over 25 years ago in Hungary. He was living with his future wife and her mother in their home too.

We moved over a long while ago, I can not even remember the year, 15 plus years now.

My husband is Hungarian and I American.

I like it here overall and hardly miss anything in the US. Then again I am old, have done allot and like the peace here of not having to work, see people or doing anything if not feeling it.

If we had to work, this would be the last place we would be doing it.

French is also my first language, so maybe working in something touristic would be ok. What's the reason you actually moved there? Because from the USA to Budapest, there is quite a ride.

Speaking more than one language is always a bonus, BUT you have to speak the language of the country you are working in, especially when you are dealing with the public.

Marilyn is retired, and the reason she lives in Hungary is that, like a lot of Expats, LOVE, her husband is Hungarian.

Our son was excepted for a casino dealing job in Hungary. He is a dual citizen and worked in casinos in Las Vegas.

At the time his experience was about 4 years in casinos.

He was told he had to learn a min. amount of Hungarian, mostly how to count in Hungarian because one had to call out numbers to the pit boss in Hungarian .

They keep tabs on how much play is going on and if they need to refill the tray with checks or not.

He learned with the help of his HU GF but when he found out the pay, said no way.

He at the time could make more working at a fast food place  in the US rather then working with the mob.Why take you live in danger for no money?

Working as a carney worker has to be a hard life.
