My very first trip in 2024 was to this city. For the third time, I found some odd charm. Hungary is one of those isolated countries -having a language that no one around understands, but sharing the religion and certain customs. I remember as a kid when we would go shopping to Nagykanizsa – the customer service was always a bit odd and distant – … Continue reading Budapest – the Pearl of Danube
