Totally jealous about your dual citizenship. It's becoming more and more difficult to travel in europe which is a bummer. We hope the physical therapy helps so you'll be back in business for 2025. We will be back in Europe in 2025 so perhaps we can meet up if we are in the same city. We're starting in Italy around 2024. Cheers!

The thermal baths in Budapest were already known in Roman times, they sent wounded soldiers to recover to Aquincum (and built a town there, now a district in the north of Budapest), more than 2000 years before the Gellért baths and the others were built. The remains from the Roman period are still visible in Aquincum and other places in the north of Buda. Yes, you should always have a valid ticket on the transit in Budapest (actually you should everwhere). I’ve had my tickets checked many, many times. A few years ago I was in Budapest and I still had some tickets from the year before, I checked whether the price had gone up and it hadn’t. Only the colour had changed, so I thought “I’ve paid my fair, so I can still use these tickets”. No you can’t, even though the tickets were the same price, my ticket was regarded as invalid upon inspection and I had to pay the fine. No arguing possible with this bossy inspector with her two colleagues. I’m half Hungarian and I could speak fluently with them, but there was no remorse. I had to pay the fine. This was on tram line 2 alongside the Danube, a very scenic route popular among tourists and the inspectors see this line as a tourist trap to meet their goals. Nowadays I always buy a multi day or week pass for all the transit; it’s a bit more pricy than buying individual tickets probably, but it saves you from the hassle of buying the right tickets for your journey and the encounters with the ticket inspectors.

@@thegreatescapers Over here in the Netherlands and I’m sure in several other countries, you also will not be greeted enthusiastically by ticket inspectors if you don’t have a valid ticket. The people in Budapest, in my opinion, are not unkind, just like any big city people anywhere really.It’s no different here in Amsterdam, or London or Paris (try that place!). My experience is just the contrary actually, but maybe the difference lies in the fact that as a Dutchman, I speak fluent Hungarian. People are surprised when they hear I’m Dutch, most of the time they don’t even hear a foreign accent and assume I’m Hungarian. With even a bit of a western Hungarian accent though; I started learning the language when I was 2,5 years old during our first holiday in Hungary from my grandma and family Budapest is a fantastic city, it’s my second home town and I still know my way around there better than here in Amsterdam

You’re right, Oradea was Hungarian for nearly 1000 years, and before that, very few Dacians or Romans lived in the area, the city basically didn’t exist. It only became part of Romania in 1918 and became predominantly Romanian only in the late 60s early 70s after Ceausescu’s industrialisation and urbanisation. Sadly for the entire city, the Hungarian population has been in decline and I think it already dropped to under 25%. I don’t see Oradea returning to Hungary any time soon. It would take something miraculous to happen. Like Hungary becoming the next Switzerland or something😅

It's almost 7000 years old, dating back to 4800 BC, and it proves Oradea has been inhabited since then. There are news articles covering this and the city museum has thousands of artifacts on display; from ceramc pots, to tools, to decorative artifacts. So much for "very few inhabited the area".

Hello, 🦩🦩🦩🐼🐨🐼🐦🐦🐦May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
