Nyugodjon békében - my Hungarian roots by techdevlab
I am grateful for any help on this. My aunt recently passed away, that side of my family is full Hungarian. My dad asked me to help him find a translation of "Rest in Peace". I found one on Google translate, but did other research and the ...
Nyugodj Békében is correct but it's bad grammar. A common thing to say is Fájó Szívvel Búcsúzunk, Unokaöcséd és Családja which roughly translates to "Farewell with an aching heart, ... Read More

As sad as this occurrence was, how frequently do crimes of this nature take place? Read More
What is your favorite beer or micobrewery in Hungary? by GuestPoster279
National, regional, international. Stout, pilsner, red, other. Give your views. If they are a serious local microbrewery business, post them in : https://www.expat.com/en/business/europe/hungary/
Soproni is great! I especially love the flavoured one (grapefruit?). I enjoy the Staropramen. Maybe it's spelt differently but it's delicious :). Read More
Absolutely Anything Else by fluffy2560
Supposedly a thread for blabbing about anything you want and hopefully nothing will be off topic.
By the way (and this is for anyone who reads), where in Hungary do you all live? Where did you live before you decided to become an expat? Read More

I think it's quite believable that Austria has a higher life quality. North American life isn't as cracked up as it made out to be. I live in Toronto currently and we're only just getting certain things that the rest of the world has had ... Read More

From what you all have told me, it seems like way too much trouble and I won't actively try doing anything to bring it with me until I make plans to move there. Thank you all for your input! Honestly, I don't know what this Hungarian forum ... Read More
What is your favorite Hungarian dish or food item? by GuestPoster279
For a snack, breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert.
Definitely (rakott krumpli?). I dont personally get to eat sausage, egg, or potato very often as my mother still cooks for me and makes Vietnamese dishes so being able to eat that is such a pleasure. My mother in law, however, is well versed and ... Read More

TV signals changed? Netflix? by fluffy2560
I seem to have only just noticed that my cable TV services have stopped broadcasting. Mrs Fluffy said this happened months ago but as I do not watch HU TV I hadn't even noticed. I also use DVB-T (digital TV over airwaves, not cable) and ...
I don't know much about the cable services over there - my husband's family uses something like satellite. That might be worth a shot if you haven't considered it already. Netflix in Hungary is pretty good and the selections are quite ... Read More

Hi to all, I have a close friend coming from UK and want to live in Balaton with his wife and 2 kids. I wish to know if Siofok is a suitable place to live in ? Any person could recommend a family area ? My friend is an international consultant and ...
I read your thing again and realized that you meant to find a place to live. The post I made before is still applicable. However, if your friend would like to buy a place, then the better and cheaper properties are in Kiliti. Very quiet, serene and ... Read More

Hi there! My husband lives in Siofok so I have been there many times. It is an extremely beautiful town. I definitely recommend staying there since this town is at its best during the summer. The lake is very close so, depending on where you stay, ... Read More

Like other people on the forum have already mentioned, I don't think it's the best time to get married right now - especially in Hungary. Not only is the system extremely bureaucratic at the moment but, there is also a fear of strangers - ... Read More
Which HU bottled mineral water is the best? by Marilyn Tassy
There are just so many different brands and price ranges for bottled mineral water in Hungary. I have tried most of them, from the pricey to the store brands. Used to drink the bubbly water but have gone to the flat water. Is there really much value ...
