First time on here, just registered. Looking to relocate to Budapest late 2011/early 2012 depending on size of financial cushion. Would really value some feedback on the practicalities of moving to BP in terms of apartment hunting, work (I'd be self-employed, probably trying to teach English in the media/business sector(s), which are my areas of expertise), and just the facts of day-to-day life in the city. Will take formal Hungarian lessons here in Oxford (UK) before heading out, but appreciate the problems of learning the language to the level required for everyday communication.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from anyone who can give me any advice (or just fancies a chat).
Cheers,
Don.
