Haha, that's what it's all about - don't see the point in living the dream if still constrained by the keeping up with the Jonse's mentality and worrying about folk gossiping about how white your nets are :thumbsup:

Re: Hungarianisation
My neighbours are most perturbed because I don't have any nets.
These same people who expect me to give them a cheering greeting and shake hands on the street find it very un-nerving to see me grinning and waving at them from inside my house as they pass. :-) But the whole point of fitting new windows was for me to watch the world go by, and the windows which face the street are all well above head height so it is not a case of people being able to look in. |
Re: Hungarianisation
I don't know what they think of me then, I don't have nets and I don't even have curtains at the windows apart from in the bathroom and a small bedroom that does not have shutters. I think a lot of Hungarians must prefer semi darkness as a lot of windows never have the shutters fully up.

I always wondered about this Fib, the number of houses I see where the shutters are never open or as you say, part open though I put it down to Hungarians spending little time in their houses though what about the winter hmmm?

I guess in the summer you keep the blinds down as it is too hot, and in the winter too cold, plus if you open them then you can get condensation. Or perhaps nobody really lives here....it's just us! :lol:

What habits have you picked up in Hungary that you never had before ?
Having been here for nearly two years we were reflecting on how different our lifestyle is now. What about you? I recommend seeing MKB Veszprem KC at Veszprem Arena. Went to their SEHA final with Meshkov Brest when they won 32-21. Very exciting sport to watch, noisy fun crowd and friendly feel. A very new and exciting Hungarian experience. |

Going to Hand Ball ( Kezilabda ) matches rather than football !

Great fun - we went to the Szeged match which Veszprem won 29 - 24. Yet to see Veszprem loose but I am told they do sometimes! |
