the first time i entered hungary, i was nine. they would stop the train and enter it in groups of four, armed with submachine guns. they would check under each and every seat for whatever.
a day later at the beach i learnt that some nice places were only for those who work for the administration. their numberplates would start with A(?)
the rest of my stay was all traubisoda, dinye, apricots, tök, tejföl a lot of fun with some of nicest and most welcoming people i ever got to know.
