RE: AJJPS - Visiting Hungary, the Central-European country this summer. It's f@*kin' great !! (video)

in #travel7 years ago

My Great grandfather was a Full blooded Hungarian who legally immigrated to U.S. around the time of world war 1. He forbade the speaking of Hungarian in his household and would not speak of his homeland. He was determined to be American thru in thru. Hope you enjoy your trip : )

Have a great time : )

Thank you, I will !! :) Wow, what a story. Yes, a lot of Hungarians emigrated between the latter half of the 19th century and WWI. At the time of your Great-Grandfather's departure there was a stubborn stagnation brought on by a lot of Hungarians who didn't want change. Best described by this poem Endre Ady wrote in 1906:
