ahm, and one last thing,
DO NOT mistake Budapest for Bucharest although they are indeed the capitals of 2 neighbour countries!
DO NOT mix the Hungarian and Italian flags, no, no, no! It is true, they have the same colors, but the Hungarian stripes are horizontal, whereas the Italian vertical. Mark that! ;)
DO NOT joke about "Hungry" instead of "Hungary" or "hungry Hungarians"! They´ve heard that much too many times, says Bea from Budapest ;)
