A Trip to Hungary
I just got back from a short break in Hungary. I’d never been to Hungary before and was surprised by the prices there which were higher than anticipated and by the language. Hungary is apparently tied to some extent to the Euro despite still having its own currency which probably explains the higher prices! I also learned that the language – which is so different to the slavic languages of central Europe or to German or other languages in the region is more like Finnish! Apparently, the Hungarians were originally invaders from Finland and despite lots of interaction with other cultures over the centuries, the Finnish nature of its language remains.
The other thing I noticed was the huge number of wind farms on the Austrian – Hungarian border……
Anyhow, I had a great break but am now trying to dig out from under a ton of email! I won’t be in town long though as Mark Tredway and I will be en route to Houston, TX the week after next for our CTRM Technical Conference at the Four Seasons Hotel. We hope to see you there…… register here.
