What is solo travel? Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic (12)

(19) Hungary

It is a landlocked country located in Central Europe, with its capital in Budapest. This is a place where you can visit Buda Castle, which boasts beautiful scenery and magnificent architecture divided into Buda and Pest by the Danube River, the Chain Bridge, and the Széchenyi Hot Springs, and taste the traditional food of Guyasi.

The climate is continental, with an average annual temperature of 10.5°C and an average annual rainfall of 600mm, with an average winter temperature of -2°C ~ 2°C and an average summer temperature of 22 ~ 23°C. Most of them are Hungarians, but there are 310,000 Gypsies (3.2%), 180,000 Germans (1.8%), 40,000 Romanians (0.4%),

It also has 30,000 Slovaks (0.3%) and others (Bulgarians, etc.), and after the collapse of the communist government in the 1980s and 1990s, it joined NATO in 1999 and the EU in 2004 and is now part of the Western bloc.

The Magyars, the main ethnic group in Hungary, have been assimilated with the surrounding Germanic and Slavic tribes over the years since settlement, and have been a member of Europe for about 1100 years since they adopted Christianity around 1000 AD and incorporated it into European culture.

The largest unit of administrative division is 19 cantons (Megye), which are commonly counties, but in addition to the general provinces, the metropolitan concept of urban states (megyei város) within the provinces is also on the same level as the provinces, and there is usually one city state for each state.

There are also two places, such as Zeller, Görmoshon Schopron, Chonggrad, and Fejer. However, Budapest, the capital, is classified as a special municipal municipality, not a state or city state. There are many countries that treat refugees exclusively, but Hungary is the only one that is mentioned a lot.

The reason for the criticism is that in Hungary, a law has been in effect since 2018 that punishes its citizens with imprisonment if they help refugees. For this reason, Hungary is one of the most popular democracies in Europe.

It is considered one of the most exclusive and isolated countries, and it prohibits Nazism and fascism, as is often the case in European countries, and prohibits communism, as is the case in Eastern Europe today after the end of the Cold War.

However, it is also known that there are many far-right parties. Machinery and equipment account for 53% of the main exports, other manufactured goods account for 30% and imported goods such as machinery and equipment account for 70%.

Hungary, like other Eastern European countries, is also a country with a declining population, while other Eastern European countries began to decline after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc system, while Hungary has already peaked in 1981 and has been declining since then.

It is also a country where there is quite a bit of racism against Asians due to Chinese immigrants. And it is a country famous for dentistry, and since there are 1,000 dental clinics in each region, it is said that there is a part that has developed due to competition in dental services, and there is even dental medical tourism in Hungary.

Hungarian is designated as the official language, German is popular among English French German languages, and there are many people who can speak German but cannot speak English, but it is close to Austria, which is a German-speaking country, so I think they are quite familiar with German.

Hungarian belongs to the Uralic language family, and its language system is similar to that of East Asia, but the date notation is not the ‘day, month, year’, which is widely used in Europe, but the ‘year, month, day’ method widely used in East Asia, and the actual international standard, ISO 8601, is actually the ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ method.

In fact, Hungarians have a “name” first, followed by a “name”, just like in East Asian countries. When writing an address, unlike in the West, it is generally marked from large to small in this way, from large to small, like in the East.

However, contrary to this tradition, Hungary also has a history as a European that it has endured enormous sacrifices to protect Europe and Christianity from non-Christian forces against Tatar invasions and Ottoman invasions.

Elementary education will receive 8 years of basic education from the age of 6 ~ 14, excellent students can go to higher schools immediately after completing the 6-year course, and in the case of secondary education, they will receive 4 years of education until the age of 14~17, including humanities schools, business schools, and industrial schools.

Intermediate vocational schools can be optional, and then they will go on to junior colleges for 3 ~ 4 years and universities for 5 ~ 6 years, and foreign languages include English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, etc., and German is preferred as a second language because it is close to Germany and Austria.

You can drive from the age of 17, and the consumption tax rate is the highest in the world, with a whopping 27%, and if a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, Monday or Friday is in between to create a four-day holiday, and the Saturday immediately before or after is a weekday.

In addition, because the country’s name has a similar pronunciation to the English adjective ‘hungry’, which means ‘hungry’, it is the hungriest country in the world as a country that often appears in sluggish gags. It is also known.
