Hungary the land of groundbreaking achievements Innovative inventions delicious food the world’s most luxurious mackys disciplined hard workers convenient public pools also known as fish tanks in the local pet shop one of the most abysmal Financial policies in Europe Europe’s lowest IQ public transport ticketing system Europe’s cutest metro line suspiciously close ties to China Hungary is also the land of paprika they use this Spice in literally everything I wouldn’t be surprised if the the parliament building’s roof was just glued on paprika yeah they really make a big deal about the fuing paprika here that damn pepper is plastered all over the place and alongside that

Hungary has produced many notable celebrities Houdini The Ramones this dude even Hank I’ve been to Budapest twice in the last two years I’m saying that like there’s anywhere else to go in Hungary there’s absolutely not unless of course you go to uh Transylvania I’ll explain that later anyway

Buest v v v v v v V anyway Budapest is actually historically two cities Buddha and PES with Buddha having the famous old landmarks some of which are honestly phenomenal I mean just look at that roof look at that castle look at that Bastion look at that old town look at those four brain dead

Brits on a lad’s holiday getting scammed into paying 50,000 for him for a picture of him holding an owl and whilst most of Buddha is super hilly and Suburban PES is way more flat is where most people live and has the recognizable famous imposing Buddha PES architecture before

The 18th century PES was just a tiny Enclave hardly anyone lived there since it didn’t benefit from the natural height or river defense that made Buddha the geographically perfect City being inhabited even before 1 a by the Kelts in the 10th Century a bunch of Siberians

Show up out of nowhere and mix with the local population till they’re white passing AKA magas this ethnic group forms 84% of hungary’s population today then over time due to mass rural Jewish and general migration from the surrounding areas into the city partly because of Austria hungary’s initiative

To modernize their economy by the year 1900 Budapest was the eighth largest city in Europe and the flat lands of PES provided these newcomers with the perfect location for a bustling modern well organized but grimy City then both sides grew until it was pointless to see them as two separate cities and they

Were officially unified in 1973 now from our time in PES I’ve come across some notable things about the place for example the scams the scams are everywhere in Budapest the ATMs the 20 Euro roses the classic Club scam the public transport ticket scams the carcinogenic Gypsy geek barss I mean the

City taxis in Budapest are literally a [ __ ] Mafia that can get away with robbing and beating up naive or drunk tourists due to them having such a monopoly being so powerful and having so much influence over the government I mean they literally made the Hungarian government ban Uber to make sure they

Still had a taxi Monopoly thank though there is an option if you want to get around hungry without being scammed out of all your hard-earned cash B it’s like a poor man’s Uber and you literally have to use this app if you don’t want to be ripped off like a certain Filipino dude

Might have been so I arrive in Budapest the brokest I’ve ever been in my life thinking oh I’m in a cheap Country Now cheap cigarettes cheap beer things are going to be looking up I go to the taxi rink I go to the first taxy I see I hop

In I don’t know how foreign conversion works so I just see this meter take up thousand by thousand while I’m sitting in the back seat thinking oh man I got 20 minutes until I get to my [ __ ] destination and I don’t know how much

This money is I still got it in the back of my mind oh it must be cheap inshah it’s cheap the best way you can avoid most scams in Budapest is by learning a few Hungarian words unfortunately Hungarian is considered to be the hardest European language to learn and one of the hardest

Languages to learn in the world I mean they liter have a 44 letter long word that roughly translates to for your continued Behavior as if you could not be desecrated thankfully though I have a hack to help you learn even one of the world’s hardest languages the online

Language learning platform I talkie I talkie is an effective online language learning platform where you can take personalized one-on-one lessons with native speaking teachers literally anytime anywhere the main problem I had with my French lessons back in school is that we focused on learning Grammar and Writing perfectly which is important

However it can be kind of frustrating when you know how to spell bonger you can’t understand or say any of the essential phrases that would actually come in handy on I talki however because it’s just you and the teacher you really focus on your speaking and listening skills as well as increasing your

Confidence through live interactions with over 30,000 teachers to choose from it can be a little overwhelming but I talkie has made it easy to filter through and find the right teacher for you search by lesson category or even where the teacher from the best thing

About I talk is that you can pay for each lesson individually there’s no subscriptions no commitments and lessons are priced only from $5 you also get three trial lessons which are refundable if you aren’t satisfied with the lesson I wanted to show you a bit of my super

Useful Hungarian lesson with a letter we focused on pronouncing different letters uh and U is that just the length yeah yeah yeah so the with the do is the short differentiating between tenses everything that ends with o would be this first person and how to say phrases informally so that’s the more informal

Purchase $10 or more so so go quick bro go quick anyway when we were in Hungary this dude literally paid for a 15minute taxi and if you’re thinking that amount of cash sounds just ridiculous and made up it’s not it’s just that Hungary has Europe’s silliest currency $1 us is equivalent to 348

Hungarian foreign which leads me on to one of hungary’s less conventional tourist attractions if you’ve got more than $2,872 in your savings account you can go around telling everyone you’re a millionaire super underrated reason to visit Hungary in my opinion but if you want a more conventional reason to visit

This country is the food I swear I’m not going to say it guys I swear I’m not going to you hungry hungry I’m hungry I’m telling you though Hungarian food might not look like much but goulash 10 out of 10 chicken paprikash 10 out of 10

Langos 10 out of 10 Torne 10 out of 10 bro they even do other people’s Cuisine well in Budapest they possibly have the best fast food establishment I’ve ever indulged in Pizza meat they basically got like seven different types of thin crispy New York style pizza you get one

Big slice for 2 quid the process takes like 30 seconds they’re open till 500 a.m. there’s always one down the street and they play the hardest [ __ ] gabber hard style techno type music in there too what’s going on in this pizza spot food in Hungary is so good even my

Georgian friend gatsu thought it was amazing and Georgians are literally used to the best food God has ever created Hungarian food is soing good and this is coming from a Georgian okay bro I remember one time I ate fish and chips in Malta and then I just gave up on European food however

Here’s the thing hungarians are not European yeah they’re white but when they migrated from the eurals they brought some good [ __ ] food with them right yo the first time I tried goulash I was hungry too that’s the thing like my body went into shock bro I ate all

That [ __ ] it is the best food in Europe I don’t want to hear anything about like Greek food I don’t want to hear anything about Italian food Hungarian food is where it’s at and so please somebody open up a Hungarian restaurant in pissi bro because I miss it if you have a

Hungarian restaurant in your city go and eat there or take a b to eat with you you already know if the Georgian says the food’s banging it’s going to be [ __ ] solid I mean look this Georgian literally ate a $12,000 banana okay they really value their food I’m telling you hungary’s

Also got this drink called Unicom uh it tastes how it looks like [ __ ] death however I can’t lie this sh is effective you still got to look out for tourist traps in the cuisine field though where you might get viciously scammed like a uh a certain Filipino friend of mine

Might have been I go to this Christmas shop where they’re selling all these fancy uh Street Foods I’m thinking yeah let me try some Hungarian Cuisine I order this [ __ ] potato slop 20 quid it was 20 quid by the end never trust a Hungarian never also you

Should make sure you don’t eat anything dodgy in Hungary you really want to avoid food poisoning or any other illnesses because the country’s hospitals look like this and the waiting times can literally be a year long but this is the EU how could the hospitals be so bad especially when the average

Hungarian pays such sizable Health Care taxes well mainly cuz this dude Mr Orban would rather build football stadiums than have a slightly functioning Public Health Care System he has a bit of a problem with hyperfocusing on football and Chinese investment which is kind of creating some tension with the EU who he

Owes us just a small bit of money to but hey it’s so worth it I mean just take a look at these state-of-the-art Chinese buses Budapest has been blessed with they might occasionally erupt into raging balls of Hellfire all part of the Oldtown experience baby hey who doesn’t love a quick marshmallow roasting

Opportunity halfway up Castle Hill man this dude is so in touch with his Asian Roots he’s building Europe’s first ever Chinese University despite budapest’s mayor Pro protesting this by changing the campus’s road names to weer Mar Road free Hong Kong Road Dalai Lama Road for example it’s actually opening in 2024

Because big xiin ping probably slid him a couple rare FIFA cards under the table or something wa yeah Hungarian politicians are typically like clinically brain dead weird hypocritical old heads I think this news headline should probably explain all you need to know but how can these obviously crazy

Dudes stay in power the old rural [Laughter] Population sorry don’t me This rural population pretty much exists anywhere in Hungary that isn’t Budapest that’s cuz it’s Loki the only city in Hungary Budapest has almost 2 million people and the second biggest city Debra hardly even scrapes 200k this is partly cuz quite a lot of the technically Hungarian regions aren’t in Hungary

There are like 3 or 4 million hungarians that live in the neighboring countries Romania Ukraine Slovakia Serbia Croatia Slovenia Austria I mean Hungary within the austr Hungarian Empire was actually big as hell up there with Poland Italy Britain that was until they lost World War I along with 23s of their territory

Damn 1918 was a bad year for them guys bro and I don’t really know too much about what it’s like in these areas cuz I’ve never been but I got living ironically to explain it a little further since he’s literally the expert on this subject being Hungarian Serbian

Living in Romania tron’s main problem wasn’t that one third of the hungarians suddenly woke up in a completely different country hell it wasn’t even that Hungary lost 70% of its territory to other countries that just randomly spawned into existence that day its main problem was that now if you wanted to go

From Romania into Hungary The View suddenly changed from this into this [ __ ] I’d be pissed off as well even though Hungary got sliced up worse than a birthday cake at a Mexican birthday party the regions cut from the motherland still kept their Hungarian roots to a degree despite the Communist

Dictators as best efforts against that for starters throughout Transylvania you can still find so many Hungarian Gothic churches and castles such as s Mii templum in CL AKA kvar and Corvin Castle in Hora AKA vun throughout the 16th century the Catholic church was having an autistic meltdown which many

Historians today called the Reformation many hungarians in particular were quick to adopt these new Christian beliefs such as the famous teachings of John Calvin that um no matter what you do God has already decided that you’re going to hell Transylvania in particular became a huge hot spot for the spread of

Calvinism SL reformism as a region came under partial control of the Ottomans and they simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with the issues of the dirty cafir so as a result The Province became one of the most religiously diverse ones within historical Hungary with hundreds of Hungarian churches of different

Denominations springing up throughout Transylvania in other parts of the Kingdom such as Vina AKA vag and kishana AKA KES viik Hungarian art noou was the popular style to build it thus the cities of sub AKA soat Anda AKA noar have such a distinctive look which makes

Them look as if they came out of some sort of fairy tale many hungarians across the border accepted their fate and moved on with their lives and became functioning members of the new countries they found themselves in hell they integrated so well one even shot down an American plane dur during the Yugoslav

Wars however others such as the SE not so much for those of you that don’t know the SE are a group of hungarians that live in the heart of Transylvania in the carpatian their main personality trait is that despite being completely surrounded by Romanians and basically sitting in the center of Romania itself

They would rather be tortured by Vlad impor himself than ever spout a single word of Romania they’re also famous for always carrying a knife on themselves people in London think they’re hot [ __ ] for packing a blade they’ve never met a SEK when I first ever met my SEK father-in-law do

You want to know what he gave me as a gift that’s right a $180 pocket knife it is pretty sweet though but yeah y are signing out the only thing I got to say about Transylvania is they they make these crisps I tried them in a Transylvanian bar in Budapest and oh my

God they’re the best [ __ ] thing ever dude I think about them every day if someone wants to ship me some of these yo I would be so gassed anyway in conclusion Hungary is an interesting place from what I’ve heard you might want to give the top Northeast bit a

Miss this is really where you want to be personally Budapest is one of my favorite cities ever and as long as you can wiggle your way out of scams you’ll have a great time go around telling people you’re a millionaire go eat some [ __ ] paprika based food go bunk the

Metro go look up at the roof p in this cities provides best roofs in Europe I think just just whatever you do don’t end up getting monetarily pillaged like a like a certain Filipino disgusting yo guys so much Blood Sweat and Tears went into this video I can’t even explain I

Went all the way to Hungary then spent like a month editing this my sleep schedule is absolutely obliterated right now so hey man I would deeply appreciate a a little sub a little like a little comment even more videos soon okay peace
