Background: Hungary was part of the polyglot Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed during World War I. The country fell under Communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU in 2004.

Day 12 Piss off! Sure, it has been a few days since I’ve written in this thing but I have been quite busy circumventing the globe. From what my weary noggin recalls, the last time we spoke I was in Berlin and getting onto an overnight train to Budapest. I think I was trying to decide if I should look for a cost-effective place to stay in Berlin or follow my Scottish instincts and take an overnighter train. The latter allowed me to save on a night’s accommodation cost. It was going to be dark outside and I wouldn’t be able [View Full Entry]
