Hot Hungarian Women! 

Hungarian women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. Hungarians are not Slavs. Some of them look like Brits or Germans. Others look more like Italians or Greeks.

Take a look for yourself.

Of course the girls in these videos are all models, but it gives you an idea how beautiful Hungarian women can be.

I don't know if you have specifically addressed this in another post but I was wondering why you chose Hungary to move to over any other European country. I've decided in the future to move from Asia to Europe once I feel the timing is right, which could be a few years from now. I haven't decided where to go specifically, but I'm open minded. I like to be somewhat stationary or have a semi-permanent living arrangement with flexible travel opportunities.

I'm going to focus on learning Russian at the moment as it provides a wider language avenue for communication within eastern Europe than other European languages in my opinion. I'm open to exploring a variety of countries but of course it's difficult to get a true sense of a country just be vacationing for a short time. I would say you need around six months to truly get a sense of a country and it culture and whether one is truly compatible living there.

I'm pretty comfortable knowing where I lie with Thailand, Korea and the Philippines as I have lived there for at least six months or longer. I could live in any of these countries for a long period of time, although Korea is probably one of the more difficult Asia countries to have to live in as a foreigner.

Well, I visited the Czech Republic for the summer several years ago and I really didn't feel comfortable with the people there and found that they were kind of stuck up and rude to me. I'm of Scandanavian descent, so I don't think that I mix with Slavs very well. I guess I assumed that the other Slavic Eastern European countries would just be very similar in feeling to the Czech Republic.

Also, Hungary and the Czech Republic are probably the most developed of the Eastern European countries, so Hungary was the other one to try. Hungary does indeed feel fairly civilized to me, except for the unfortunately common Eastern European experience of bathrooms being out of toilet paper (bring your own!). I just get along with the people here and they are friendly to me. I've met some French people who felt exactly the opposite way, and liked the Czech Republic better. It depends on your personality, I guess.

Yes, Russian will help you with more Eastern European countries. Even Hungarian has borrowed some slavic words. However, many people in Hungary speak German (very few speak English), so that can be very helpful here if you know it. Yeah, six months is probably the true test; however, if you find you hate a country, one month would be sufficient to rule it out. In the Czech Republic, it took me about 2 weeks before I started to get really annoyed with the people. The last 2 weeks were very long indeed! The rumor is that the Slovakians are like the Czechs, but friendlier (of course, Hungarians would never say this because they have a very tense relationship with the Slovakians). I should go there sometime and find out.

I find that the service is much friendlier in Hungary than in the Czech Republic, although at times it can be very slow by American standards. Like most Europeans, Hungarians work to live and don't live to work (which I like).

When I'm more brave and experienced, I would like to visit some places in Asia, like India, Nepal, etc. But somehow I doubt I'd want to live in those places year-round.

I had some Slovakian friends when I was working in Korea and they were the coolest people to hang out with! Always joking around, very friendly, had your back at all times. They alway said I should visit their country if I ever get to Europe. I'm not joking when I had never met a better group of guys. They were working for some engineering company that sold machinery to some of the tech factories in Korea. So they just monitored and serviced them, making shit loads of money and not really doing much work wise. I believe they are still over there raking it in and living the good life in Korea. (Well if you can call it that, I suppose if you made shit loads of money and living expenses paid for you would just stay there too and save your money) I believe the told me at time they made around 5 million won a month. English teachers are lucky if they made 2 million. This was back on 04.

I guess when I have the funds I'll try to tour the various European countries and see which cultures best fit my personality. I know what you mean about getting a feel for a country. I once visited Cambodia for three weeks and by the last week I couldn't wait to leave! The people and culture just didn't jive with me, even though I lived the neighboring countries of Thailand and Vietnam, go figure...

You've lived in so many exotic Asian locations! You're frigging Indiana Jones! Did you ever get really sick while living in those countries (i.e. food poisoning, explosive diarrhea)?

Another thing to consider is that you should be sure to visit cities besides the capitals in the Eastern European countries you visit. Usually the capital feels very different than the rest of a country and has the most expats and tourists. Smaller cities and towns will give you an idea what a "typical" city in that country feels like. For example, Budapest has over two million people, but the second largest city in Hungary, Debrecen, has only 200,000 people, and all the other cities have even less.

Slovakia might be a good choice. I think it's doing better economically than most countries in the region and it's one of the few Eastern European countries that has the Euro. Romania seems like it might be cool, but the salaries are really, really low there. I've heard people say some good things about Poland, but I don't know. Croatia has a coastline which looks very similar to Greece. Slovenia might be okay too.
