My partner is a Hungarian passport holder (and Australian too, lucky!) and we would like to move to the UK for work. Given I am now too old for the working holiday visa that many Aussies get when they are under 31, once we are married, can I then ...

Dark side of Hungary by szocske

Hi, Sometimes our topics get derailed by discussions of problems in Hungary like racism, corruption, theft, vandalism, bureaucracy... None of these are unique to Hungary, or even above regional average, but the specific blends and twists are good ...

Precisely, Fireroller - if you are an °µÍø½ûÇø and you go to private clinics, I doubt you'd be paying the extra money to the doctor that locals might have to, which was Europa°µÍø½ûÇø's question.Bingo. Maybe I didn't make it clear enough, but that's what ... Read More

"that is of course the point - I really think, it is only the 'free' state-run services where such 'gratitude' may be expected. I wonder though, if a foreigner who does not understand culture-coded hints, would even notice that, since I have the ... Read More

Hey ladies, good hairdresser/salon recommendation? by wanna.38

Hi, I've been living in Budapest for a year now, but haven't been able to find a good salon/hairdresser here. If any of you could recommend me a good, english speaking hairdresser for me, that would be excellent. Preferably something that isn't too ...

Interesting. I have a question for you. It's likely I will be moving to Budapest in about 7/8 months (living in the Netherlands right now). How would you go about avoiding the “gratitude money” situation when getting some kind of health ... Read More
