The flood of the century?

From last weeks Tuesday the Danube which has already destroyed many things in Germany, Austria, Czech, etc. arrived also to Hungary. Last time in 2002 there was such a dangerous situation because of this amount of water. Along the Danube, not only one village's inhabitants had to move out and leave their home, now knowing when can they return to the beloved place.
At the weekend, the increasing passed Győr. Lot of streets, bridges are closed, and maximum the firefighters and other official servants can use those ways. Between Győr and Budapest the railways is also threatened so exact parts are unusable and traveller have to transfer to buses.
The flood comes to Budapest these days. We hope, that this week the bigger amount of the water will move.
A lot of volunteers also took part in the protection.
I'm also a member of a local volunteer firefighter crew, and we also tried to help.
Take a look at the photos and the website, (Budapest - photos about the flood from the air).

This is a bridge in the downtown of Győr. The surface of the river already reached it.

This is movable dam, a Hungarian innovation, which has been also used in Austria, and in Szentendre.

The animals of the zoos in Győr also have to move.

Hundreds of volunteers spend days and nights, helping in the threatened villages and cities.

♬ Hungary won the British talent show

Almost unbelievable, but the Hungarian group, Attraction won the Britain's got a talent show in 2013. The funny things is that when they participated in a similar Hungarian show they fell out really quickly, sadly the poorly chosen Hungarian jury didn't appreciate their talent, finally someone had!
We're all happy about their success and we hope, that throught their art more people are interested in Hungary, too!
Check out their episode at the final!

Big Wheel in Budapest, only 7th June ~ 22th June

Budapest has an amusement park, but if you compare to the amusement parks abroad, you won't call it like that, really. That was my feeling, when I was there.
But! In the period of 7th June ~ 22th June you can ride a Big Wheel in the centre of the city, so you can see the whole city. The price is 2400 HUF for an adults. 336 people can ride it in the same time.
You can find it on the Erzsébet tér, which is located right next to Deák Ferenc tér, where the three subway lines cross each other. You can check last year's photos here, at the "Szeretlek, Magyarország" (I love you, Hungary) website.
After 22th June the wheel moves to Sziget Fesztivál, so participants can ride it in August, as well.

부다페스트에 놀이공원이 있는데 외국의 놀이공원들과 비교하면 재미없는 것 같아요.
하지만! 6월7일 ~ 6월22일의 기간에 부다페스트의 시내에서 큰 바퀴를 탈 수 있을거에요. 위에서 부다페스트를 다 볼 수 있을거에요.
18살위에 가격이 2400 포린트이고, 동시에 336면이 탈 수 있어요.
Erzsébet tér라고 하는 곳에서 찾을 수 있어요. Erzsébet tér은 Deák Ferenc tér엽에 위치해서 쉽게 찾을 수 있어요. Deák Ferenc tér에서 지하철선들이 다 서로 교차해요. 작년의 큰 바퀴에 대해서 여기 'Szeretlek, Magyarország' (헝가리, 사랑해)라고 하는 웹사이트에서 사진들이 보여요.
6월22일후에 큰 바퀴가 Sziget Fesztivál이라고 하는 이벤트에 이사해요.

ハンガリーには遊園地がありますが、外国の遊園地に比べて面白くないと感じています。でも！六月七日～六月に十二日の間の期間にブダペストのセンターで観覧車に乗れます。上からブダペストを全部見えますね。
値段は十八歳の上の人たちに二千四百フォリンとで、同時に三百三十六人が乗れます。Erzsébet térという場所で見つけられます。Erzsébet térはDeák Ferenc térという場所のとなりにあります。去年の観覧車の写真は'Szeretlek, Magyarország!'(愛している、ハンガリー)というウェブサイトで見られますね。
六月に二十二日後、観覧車はSziget Fesztiválというイベントに引っ越しますから、Sziget Fesztiválに参加する人たちは八月にも観覧車を乗れます。

♬ Hungarian show at Britain's got a talent - we may win?!

All over the world almost everyone has heard about Britain's show, which is looking for singers, dancers, artist with special talent. Well, this year, there are Hungarian contestants, too.

Will you support Hungary? =)

♬ Győr - my No.1. city in Hungary

Although I spend a lot of time in Budapest, that is not my home. I live in a small village, near the city called Győr. Győr is located halfway between Budapest and Vienna, so if you may have been travelling by train to Vienna from Budapest, you may have passed also Győr, right?
It's style is quite similar to Budapest, but it is a much smaller place. There are also less people and buildings. The streets are quite clean, there are a lot of parks and rivers flowing across.
Check out the video - you may feel you also want to visit this fascinating city!
(Later, I'll share more information about Győr.)

저는 부다페스트에서 많은 시간을 보내지만 부다페스트가 고향이 아니에요. 저는 GYŐR이라고 하는 도시의 근처에 있는 작은 마을, BEZI에 살아요. GYŐR은 부다페스트와 비엔나 사이 중도에서 위치해요. 당신은 혹시 부다페스트에서 비엔나에 기차로 갔을때 GYŐR도 지났지요?
GYŐR의 스타일은 부다페스트와 비슷한데 부다페스트보다 작아요. 사람도 건물도 더 적어요. 길들은 깨끗하고 공원이 많고 강도 있어요.
이 비디오를 보세요. 혹시 당신도 GYŐR을 방문하고 싶게 돼요.
(나중에, GYŐR에 대해서도 더 쓸거에요.)

私はブダペストに長い時間を過ごしますが、家はほかの場所にあります。Győrという都市の近くにある小さな村、Beziです。Győrはブダペストとウィーンの間の余中にありますから、あなたもブダペストからウィーンまで電車で行ったときこの都市にも通過したでしょう。

Győrのスタイルはブダペストと同じようですが、ブダペストより小さいです。そして、人々やビルも多くないです。道はきれいで、公園とか多くて、たくさんの川が流れます。

このビデオを見てみてください。あなたもGyőrに行きたいようになるでしょう。
（後で、この都市についてももっと書くつもりですよ。）

♬ Video of Budapest - Katy Perry's song, Firework ♬

You may have not known this fact, but a part of Katy Perry's song, Firework's music video was made in the Royal Palace in Budapest. Check out the video, and focus on the Palace! See, how beautiful it is? Wanna see, right? =)

Katy Perry알지요? Firework이라고하는 노래의 뮤직 비디오를 부다페스트에 있는 왕궁에서 만들었어요. 이거 알았어요? 비디오 다시 한번 보고 왕궁을 보세요. 아름답지요? 가보 싶어요?

Katy Perryという歌手が知っていますか。Fireworkという歌のミュージックビデオがブダペストにある王城で作られました。知りませんでしたか。じゃ、ビデオをもう一度見て王城を見てください。きれいですね！自分でも行ってみたいでしょうか。

Tourist Guide of Budapest 2.

The rest part of the guide written in the previous post:

EATING OUT, SHOPS

I’d like to recommend you some of my favourite places, which prize is okay, too.

From your hostel if you go to oktogon, in the corner near Mc Donald’s you will find the OKTOGON BISZTRÓ. (https://www.facebook.com/gastlandbisztro.oktogon?fref=ts)If you’re hungry or you search a good place for lunch, I’d suggest this one. It has an all you can eat prize 1190 HUF, but it provides several kinds of soups, main course, side dishes, desserts. You can try almost every Hungarian traditional food (take photos and I’ll tell their names later, haha). You have to pay for your drink plus, a soft drink is about 300 HUF (buti f you don’t have any drinks there, the food costs 1390 HUF). You can have also dinner here, not just lunch.

As for breakfast, please, definitely go to Cserpes Tejivó, which is located on Deak Tér. How to get there? Take subway line 1 from Oktogon and get off at Deák Tér. At the station go down the stairs, when you’re out, turn right, then left, and take the exit coloured by red. Go up ont he escalator, and you will find a Mc Donald’s there. Exactly next to the Mc Donald’s there is the Cserpes Tejivó (www.cserpestejivo.hu, or find them on facebook). Hungarian people usually have bread and bakery products for breakfast. Here you go! You can drink a hot or a cold cocoa drink, too. I’d recommend to have a Habos Klasszikus (Creamy Classic). This menu has a cocoa drink (hot or cold, you can choose), and a cocoa snake or a „cottage cheese bag”. This menu is 390 HUF. But they have salads, other patries, home made yoghurts, coffee, other milk products, etc. Go there, please!
/If this shop is full of people, there is another same one. From Deák tér take subway line 3, go till Corvin negyed, get off, go up the escalator, turn right and go straight up.  Then go inside that square which has Corvin mozi (cinema) there, it is also worth visiting, this square is brand you and really nice. Ont he corner you can find Cserpes Tejivó, and it is definitely less crowded. You can come here from Oktogon directly. Take tram line 4 or 6 at Oktogon and get off at Corvin negyed. Cross the street on the zebra crossing and there you are!/

I’ve already told you about LEVES (https://www.facebook.com/levespont?fref=ts). There the people are young students, they all speak English.
This is a really small place, where you can eat cream soups, sandwiches and cookies. These are all they have. But every day 4 different kind of soups (they have cold raspberry cream soup everyday, that is my absolute favourite ^^), 4 different grilled sandwiches, and 2 kinds of cookies).

Prizes:

0,5 dl soup: 450 HUF (+topping is +50 HUF, you can choose cream with mint, cheese, tortilla, crouton, mandels, etc.)
small sandwich with the soup together 790 HUF
big sandwhich with the soup together 990 HUF
cookie: 250 HUF  

Anywhere, where you see PÉKSÉG is written, it’s a bakery. Here you can get any pastries for 100-200 HUF, just pop in, and choose something which seems delicious, you won’t regret. ;)

As for supermarkets, I recommend you CBA, which is also located at Deák tér. It’s at the starting point of 49 and 47 tram line. If you come dirent from the underground, as you come out from line 1 stop, you turn left and go up on the  short escalator. Then go straight up ont he stairs in front of you, here is the tram line. Then if you turn left you will see CBA. Ont he left of CBA there is a stationary shop, where you can get postcards cheaply! 40 HUF, but other places postcards are about 100-150 HUF.
If you take tram line 47 or 49, you can go to Kálvin tér or Fővám tér (City Market Hall) from here easily /2 or 3 stops/. Or on foot.

There are other supermarkets, shops, too, for example: TESCO, Manna, Reál, RONI.

Of course, in Budapest there are many Mc Donald’s, Burger Kings, and stuff, but I hope you will try our national dishes instead! ^^

Tourist guide of Budapest 1.

Last year when I went to South Korea to participate at an international program, I've met also a girl from Malaysia. She studied after that one year in the UK, and before returning home, she visits some other European countries, so we meet again in Hungary - isn't it amazing?
Because I'm busy, I can't be her guide at Budapest, but I'll take her to a city called GYŐR, and also my home village, called BEZI.

For her I wrote a guide about Budapest - which are the most beautiful places to visit, how can one get there, how can you use transportation, where can you eat delicious food for good prize, etc.
Take a look, you may find it useful, too!
(Sorry for my spelling and grammatical mistakes in English.)

SIGHTS, TRANSPORTATION

First: as for the transportation: if you do down ont he Oktogon in front of Burger King, there will be a cassa of BKV (Transportation Company of  Budapest). Here you can get tickets. I’d suggest you to buy a 24-hours-ticket, it’s 1640 HUF if I remember well. (One single ticket is 350 HUF.) I wouldn’t cheat on transportations, because at subways always there are controllers, and also on trams and buses they’re really frequent, mainly summer time, so you better buy tickets because the penalty is much more expensive. Budapest is not so big, so you can reach a lot of sights on foot, but for the longer distances it’s better to take something transportation. First try to make a day-plan, and count which is better J

You chose a very good place to stay, it’s near Andrassy Street, which is a part of the World Heritage. From Oktogon if you go along the street towards Heroes’ Square, you will find many nice buildings, cafés, museums, embassies. You can reach Heroes’ Square within 20 minutes on foot, too. It’s nice to take a walk there. 

From Oktogon, if you go towards the city centre, you’ll pass the Opera House, which is also definitely worth visiting. At the end of the Andrassy Street there is the St. Stephen’s Basilica. It’s one of the two highest buildings in Budapest (the other one is the Parliament). You can take photos from the square in front of the Basilica, or you can go inside, with English guide it’s 2000 HUF/person (if you don’t want to go to the tower it’s 1500 HUF/person). You can check the website here: http://en.bazilika.biz/
The square is surrounded by cafés and restaurant but I’d not suggest you to buy anything there, because they are very expensive. The one I reccomend is an ice cream shop called GelArto, at the corner of the square. You will find it easily, there are always many people queueing there, but it’s worth waiting. The ice creams has very special flavours, and you don’t get balls but they form an ice cream flower. You can check the facebook site here: https://www.facebook.com/GelartoRosa?fref=ts

From the Basillica you can go to Deák Ferenc tér on foot in 5 minutes. You  better memorize this name of the place, because it’s the city centre, here you can take all lines of the subways, you find many restaurants and shops here.
Budapest has 3 lines. (Subway in Hungarian is metró {metro}) They’re marked with 3 colours.
1st line (another name Földalatti) reaches Oktogon, too, so if you take this one, you can easily go to the city centre and transfer to other useful subway lines, buses or trams.
/This line was the first subway line in Europe, except the British Island, but if you see only the European continent, Hungarian subway was the first. It still has a retro style.)
The first stop of the 1st line is Vörösmarty tér (square), which is a place for festivals and events (e.g. Christmas market), but also surrounded by clothes shops, and it’s the end of Váci street, which is also a famous tourist spot, you can walk along, it’s a very long shopping street, not just clothes, but souvenirs and restaurants as well.

If you take line 1, you can go also to Opera, and Heroes’ Square. If you have looked up some information about Hungary, you surely have read a bit about Heroes’ Square, which is surrounded by the Museum of Fine Arts, Art Hall and the City Park, where you can find the Amusement Park, Zoo, National Circus, Agricultural Museum (Vajdahunyad Vár, even if you don’t enter the museum, you can take a walk inside its yard, it is a very beautiful building, mainly int he evening!), Transportation museum, and the Széchenyi Spa. I’m sure you won’t miss this area.

If you take 2nd line, you can go to see the Parliament, and also go to the other side of the Danube below the river. You can take this subway at Deák tér and go til Kossuth tér, there is the Parliament and Museum of Ethnology. If you have time, you should visit the Museum of Ethnology, where you can see an exhibition about Hungary’s country life, too. (http://www.neprajz.hu/)
If you take my advice, you may reserve an appointment for visiting the Parliament, because in the summer time there are so many tourist, you may have to queue for long hours until you get in. There are English speaker tours (45-50 minutes long), of course. The entrance fee is 1750 HUF under the age of 26, if you have international student card (ISIC). The English speaker tours are every day 10:00, 12:00, 13:00, 13:45, 15:00.  If you would like to reserve a period, tell me, I can do it for you so you don’t have to wait. Please tell me in advance, because the earlier you book, the better chance you still can get tickets. From here if you take 2nd line again and go to Batthyányi tér, you will get off the other side of the Danube and the whole building of the Parliament can be seen. You can take beautiful pictures from here ^.^

By the 2nd line, you can also go the Keleti pályaudvar (East Railway Station), from where you will take a train and go to Győr. The name of the stop is also Keleti pályaudvar.
/How to reach Keleti pályaudvar from Oktogon? There are 2 ways.
- From your hostel you go to Oktogon on foot, take the Line 1 in front of Burger King, go to Deák tér, there transfer to Line 2, and get off at Keleti pályaudvar.
- From your hostel you go to Oktogon on foot, you take the tram 4 or 6, go til Blaha Lujza tér, get off, go down to subway Line 2, get off at Keleti pályaudvar.
I’d suggest the first option because the tram is always crowded, and stuff…/

I don’t think you will use often, but we have 3rd Line, too. You may use it to reach Kálvin Tér (square). Why? From here starts the Ráday street which is full of restaurants which provides traditional Hungarian food, but I wouldn’t suggest you to go there, because the most restaurant are not cheap. But, from Kálvin tér you can walk to the National Museum which is really beautiful and worth visiting. It has a nice yard, where there are always people, sitting ont he stairs, or in yard under the trees, reading books, chatting, etc. (If you walk more, you can find my university campus ^^. I hope you will have time to take a look at it! It is written ont he front gate: Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Bölcsészettudományi Kar). Or, if you walk the other direction, you can go to the City Market Hall, which you definitely have to visit! There are many vegetable, fruit, cake, etc. shops, and the 2nd floor is full of souvenir shops, which are not cheap, but you may take a walk around and see what they provide. And here you can also find some buffets, where you can eat some traditional Hungarian food, and their prize is let’s say quite okay. 

But! Nearby there is one of my favourite places in Budapest. It’s called LEVES (in Hungarian means ’soup’). This is a really small place, where you can eat cream soups, sandwiches and cookies. These are all they have. But every day 4 different kind of soups (they have cold raspberry cream soup everyday, that is my absolute favourite ^^), 4 different grilled sandwiches, and 2 kinds of cookies).
Prizes:
0,5 dl soup: 450 HUF (+topping is +50 HUF, you can choose cream with mint, cheese, tortilla, crouton, mandels, etc.)
small sandwich with the soup together 790 HUF
big sandwhich with the soup together 990 HUF
cookie: 250 HUF

In front of the City Market Hall you can take the tram 47 or 49 and cross the bridge, so will reach the Gellért Hill. You can find the Gellért Spa here. You can easily climb up and see the statue at the top. You can see the whole city from up there. It’s worth ;)

Near the City Market Hall you can go down, too, and you can take Tram Line 2, it is Europe’s most beautiful line, because it goes along the Danube, so can see a really nice view with the Gellért Hill and the Royal Palace. From the Fővám tér stop you can go till Kossuth tér stop where the Parliament is, but if you take my advice, you take this tram from Fővám tér until Vigadó tér (Vigadó is a big concert hall, its building is nice, too), and go on foot till Széchenyi István tér, where the Chain Bridge is (or you may easily take a walk along the Danube from Fővám tér until Széchenyi István tér). I recommend you to come back here in the evening, too, because the night view is just amazing!

At Széchenyi Istvár tér you find some building of ministries, and also the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In front of the Academy there is bus stop, where you may take number 16, which goes up to the Royal Palace District. It may be crowded, but don’t worry, these buses come really often.

You may get off at Szentháromság Tér. Here you can find the Matthias Church, and the Fishermen’s Bastion. These all are fascinating, and so is the view from here. You have to buy tickets, if you want to go up in the Bastion, there are gates. You also have to buy tickets to visit the Matthias Church (for students it’s 700 HUF). From here you can go to the Royal Palace on foot, it takes about 5 minutes. Inside the Palace there is the National Library, Museum of Military History and the National Gallery. All the houses of this district are monuments. From the Royal Palace you can take the Budavári Sikló (funicular). It takes 900 HUF/person. If you take off at the bottom, there will be a bus stop of number 16 which goes back to Deák tér. Or you can take number 16 also near the Royal Palace, and go staight to Deák tér.

If you have time, I’d suggest you to take a river cruise on the Danube in the evening. When it’s getting dark, you can see almost all of the famous sights of Budapest at the same time and they have a beautiful view. I’ve told you earlier the place Vigadó tér. Around that, there are many docks, almost all has night cruises. I took one 2 years ago, the fee was 1000 HUF/person that time, buti t was really worth! It’s just amazing. (If you don’t want to eat or drink anything, and you don’t need a guide, you just sit on the top of the boat and look around. Try to search for this option!)

Some more spots:
The Margaret Island
From Oktogon you take tram line 4 or 6, and get off at Margitsziget stop. You can walk around the whole island, it has some small buffets, a mini zoo, which is free to visit, an outside stage for concerts and stuff. It has really nice parks, the people of Budapest come here to relax very often, you can also take a rest here =)
The National Theatre
I’ve already mentioned the tram line 2. If you go till the Millenium Kulturális Központ. Here you can find the National Theatre with a small, special park, and the Palace of Arts.

한국 사람들이 왜 헝가리에 관심이 있을까요?

(저는 이 논문을 이번 학기의 한국어 수업의 숙제로 썼어요. 벌써 선생님이 확인해줬어요. 여러 한국친구들을 물어보고 이 이야기가 됐어요...)

요즘 현대 기술을 사용하여 빨리 세계의 먼 쪽에 갈 수 있습니다. 미국에서 마다가스카까지, 브라질에서 핀랜드까지, 헝가리에서 한국까지. 배나 비행기를 타고 24시간 안에 아무데나 갈 수 있게 됐습니다. 돈이 충분하면 꿈에서 가본 곳에 여행할 수 있습니다. 그런데, 우리는 왜 그 나라, 도시, 섬에 가고 싶을까요? 왜 그 문화에 관심이 있을까요? 멀지만 왜 그 나라까지가고 싶어할까요?

저는 미래에 더 많은 한국사람들이 헝가리에 오기를 바랍니다. 지난 2년동안 여러 한국 친구들이 헝가리에 와서 저는 아마츄어 가이드가 되고 우리 나라, 보통 부다페스트를 소가해줬습니다. 하지만 헝가리와 한국의 거리가　머니까 비행기표가 비싸고 한번 이 먼 나라에 오면 관광객들이 예를 들면 체코, 오스트리아와 같은 가깝고 예쁜 나라들도 방문하고싶어합니다. 그렇게 하면 싼 숙박을 찾아봐야 하고 식사비가 비싸질 겁니다. 어려움에도 불구하고 저는 한국사람들의 헝가리에 있는 관심을 증가하고 싶습니다. 그래서 한국사람들에게 왜 헝가리에 관심이 있느냐고 물었습니다. 대답이 놀랍게 다양합니다.

저는 한국사람들이 부다페스트에 대해서만　들었다고 생각했는데 친구들의 대답이 다음과 같습니다. 대답해준 사람들중에 대학생, 선생, 회사원이 있고 서울, 춘천, 부산과 같은 한국 도시에 살고 있는 사람들입니다. 그럼 왜 헝가리에　대해　궁굼할까요?  먼저　학생때 헝가리에 대해서 배울 수 있습니다. 세계 역사 시간에서 헝가리 민족의 우랄-알타이 유래의 이야기도 나옵니다. 그리고 '아이리스'라고 하는 영화의 부분이 헝가리에서 촬영됐으니까 발라톤호수와 부다페스트의 광경이 그 한국영화에서 나옵니다. 또, 텔레비전에서 부다페스트에 관한 영상이나 안내 프로그램이 방송됩니다. 그리고 헝가리의 작곡가들은 전세계에 유명하답니다. 한 응답자는 '브람스의 `헝가리무곡’이라는 클래식음악을 듣고 `헝가리’라는 나라 이름을 처음 알게 되었어요. 그리고 피아노 연주자(피아니스트) `리스트’를 좋아해서 책을 찾아 봤어요. 그리고 리스트의 고향이 헝가리인 것을 알게 되었어요'라고 말해줬습니다. 조금 인터넷으로 찾아보면　첫번째 광경에 부다페스트 야경이 호기심을 발생합니다. 우리 수도는 낮에도 아름답지만　어두울때 왕궁, 사슬다리, 국회의사당이 특히 예뻐집니다.

한국과 헝가리는 여러 비슷한 점이 있습니다. 한국사람들은 온천을 좋아하지요? 헝가리 전체에 자연의 온천이 많습니다. 시골에 헤비즈 (Hévíz), 하이두소보슬로 (Hajdúszoboszló), 츄라 (Gyula)라고 하는 도시 외에 부다페스트 시내의 세체니 (Széchenyi)온천이나 겔레르트 (Gellért)온천이 유명하답니다. 또, 둘 나라의 음식들도 비슷합니다. 헝가리 식생활의 기본적인 재료는 고춧가루입니다. 헝가리 사람들도 짜고 매운 음식을 자주 먹지만 한 응답자의 생각에는 헝가리 식사들 중에 너무 짠 것도 있습니다. 그런데, 헝가리의 구야시라고 하는 수프가 한국의 육개장과 비슷하다고 생각하는 한국사람도 있습니다.

자주 언급한 이유는 건물들의 스타일이었습니다. 한국의 현대적인 마천루들과 달리 헝가리의 많은 도시들의 광경이 지난 100년에 조금만 달라졌습니다. 이렇게 전국에 전통적인 스다일을 보존해서 "헝가리는 다른 유럽 국가가 갖고 있지　않는 특별한 매력을 가지고 있다고 생각해요"라고 하는 생각도 들을 수　있었습니다. 그리고 "남성적인 건축물들이　많아요!"

헝가리와 한국을 비교하면 어떤 것이 나올까요? 하나는 아까 언급한 건물들의 스타일입니다. 반면에 부다페스트나 같은 도시들에 한국도시들보다 공원같은 곳이 많고 사람들도 적습니다. 차가 그렇게 막히지 않아서 헝가리는 보통 조용해서 좋답니다. 재미있는 예를 들면 한국 아버지를 아빠라고 하고 헝가리 사람들은 아버지를apa라고 합니다. 매우 비슷하지요?

이 짧은 소개를　읽으면서 여러분은 어떻게 생각합니까? 서울에 살고 있는 친구는 이렇게 대답했습니다: "최근 워킹홀리제도가 헝가리와 체결이 되고, 많은 사람들이 유럽여행을 가면서 서유럽보다 저렴한 가격으로 갈 수 있는 동유럽도 선호하는 측면도 생겨났기 때문에 한국인이 헝가리를 갈 수 있는 기회가 조금 더 생겨났기에 헝가리에 대하여 더 가깝게 느낄 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다."

저는 이 작은 조사를 하다가 다양한 대답들을 들었습니다. 이 대답들을 읽다가 감동을 받았습니다. 지금도 헝가리에 살고 있는 사람하고 아직 헝가리에 가본적이 없는 사람의 생각에도 이 나라는 아릅답습니다. 혹시 한국 사람들이 헝가리에 대해서 여러 원천에서 더 들을 수 있게 되면 좋겠습니다. 물론, 한국과 헝가리는 더 많은　관계가 있습니다. 예를 들면 1950-1960년대에 외국에 유명했던 Kim Sisters이라고 하는 한국 밴드의 김 민자는 헝가리 사람과 결혼하고 지금 부다페스트에 살고 있는 것을 알았습니까?

헝가리는 한국에서 멀지만 여기에 오면 꼭 좋은 기억들을 만들수 있습니다. 음식을 먹어보고 헝가리 와인을 마셔보고 부다페스트의 야경을 보면 환실히 헝가리를 좋아하게 될 겁니다. 우리 아름다운 나라를 한번만 꼭 보러 오세요!

반가워요!

우리는 제가 외국에 있을때 만났어요. 또는 당신은 우영이 제 블로그를 찾았으면 당신은 헝가리에 대해서 배우고 싶으면 저는 기뻐요. 방문해주셔서 감사합니다!

자기소개:
제 이름은 라모나이고 부다페스트에 있는 대학교에서 전공으로 일본어와 문화하고 부전공으로 한국어와 문화를 공부하고 있어요. 이번 6월에 졸업하고 대학원에서 한국학과에 입학하기로 했어요. 
작년에 단국대에서 한달 보냈어요. 선생님들도 진짜 친철하고 정말 좋는 아시아 친구들을 만났어요. 
이번 여름에도 한국에 가서 한국학중앙연구원에서 한달을 보낼거에요. 재미있을 것 같아요!
저는 여자축구팀의 멤버에요. 맞아요, 축구! 축구를 진짜 좋아해서 잘 할 수 있게 되면 좋겠어요.

헝가리에 여행할 계획과 질문이 있으면 연락해주세요.
이 웨브사이트에 다양한 언어로 안내를 쓰줄게요.
헝가리에 있으면 가이드가 필요하거나 커피 한잔 먹어싶으면 메일 보내주세요. 시간이 있으면 만나봅시다!
