New Highways, New Rules--


Hungary has done undoable . We've built more Highways than there is space for. It used to be simple, we had the M7 to take us down to Balaton, and the M1 to take us to the civilized world, the west. Now We have M5, M70, M9, M3, M0, M40, M4, M My God.., M WTF, and M We really don't know where we are going. We've even accomplished building this useless bridge for about 20 times as much as it would have cost to just move the highway 1 mile to the east.

So now that we have all these highways, what do we do? We hire new police to enforce the law. There are police now enforcing that no one is going too SLOW on the highway according to www.caboodle.hu. Infact special cameras are set up to detect slow moving vehicles. Now I don't know if anyone here has driven in Europe, but slow is the least of our worries.

Oh and we adopted the 0 tolerance rule with the "Drink or Drive" posters. Apparently people who have a beer are the devil. I also don't see why the driver is smiling. He can't drink, and he has to worry not only about going too fast but going too slow on an over expensive highway his tax money paid for probably with kids yelling in the back. Yes I know that is a run on sentence, but Hungarians like to ramble on and on, so my sentences will do the same.

Nothing special

Let's be honest. We haven't really had quiet days in the news for the past 1008 years, so let's enjoy this while it lasts. Some of the headlines of the day were:

-Unemployment drops from 7.8 to 7.5%. That means out of a 100 people, 7 are probably on the streets begging, and theres half persons running around as well--I just haven't seen them.

-BKV has a new manager. I feel sorry for the dude. He is about to manage a public transport company that can't raise ticket prices because the public will riot, can't fire people because the unions are too strong, can't ask for more funding cause there is none, and so like the last 3 we've had, he will probably resign.

Yeh boring stuff-- peace out.

Obama picks GYURCSANY FERENC for VP


Yes, my friends. Before the news about Biden came out, I received a mysterious text message declaring that "Obama has chosen Ferenc Gyurcsany For Vice President, thank you for signing up for the Obama newsletter".

Well if that's true, American better be ready. I don't think we've ever had a president that has (as the leaked speech in 2006 stated) "Done such a boneheaded thing to a country, plainly lied to its people, and brought the country into an economic ruin". Well at least he is honest.

Hungary for Americans!

Oh wow, Americas always needed this! Blog that keeps up with news in Hungary! So spread the news! because the coolest blog about a small insignificant nation in the middle of Afric... wait Europe is about to start!

First let's learn a bit about Hungary.

-People say Hello for goodbye-- okay that's just plain weird.
-The term for speed bump is "lying down police"... Yeh we hate them THAT much... we want to roll over them
-Oh and the only country where the timers at bus/metro stops don't tell you how many seconds till the next one comes, but that oh.. if you would have been say... 15 seconds faster in getting there, you could have caught the damn metro and wouldn't have been late to where ever you are going--not that people have anywhere to go in the lands of Hungary.
