HAPPY HUNGARIAN VALENTINES : ‘Bálint Nap’ or ‘Valentin’Day
Seems to me that some of the positive (it's all true!) stereotypes of Hungarians are that they/we make for passionate lovers, romantic, sexy.... OK.... HOT! You know... lots of talking over coffee, wine, cigarettes... lots of standing on tables to recite original poetry... Confess!

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED ORDERING A BRIDE FROM HUNGARY ?
No joking! I found some web sites that are owned by matchmakers or marriage brokers importing beautiful Hungarian women to marry American men.
The idea makes me personally uncomfortable because I think that a woman is a long way from home when she comes to the United States for the purpose of marrying a man she may not have spent enough time with to make such a decision. And if it is citizenship she's after this may be a very high price. Also I have met women and men who entered into this kind of arrangement of other nationalities here in the United States and what is telling is that a year after the person becomes a citizen (7 years?) they usually get a divorce. During that time both have been off the market - theoretically.
And what about men who just can't seem to enjoy an American woman? Usually they say that American women are just too liberated or not feminine enough, something like that. But as a woman it makes me wonder because many of these same men are not in position to marry a woman who doesn't also have a job or career and some of them seem to resent the traditional male role.
But with Internet, web cams, e-mail, videos, and not to mention world travel what it is, perhaps in some or even many cases the couple do get to know each other well enough to make such a decision.
What do you think?

94 YEAR OLD ZSA ZSA SPENDS BIRTHDAY AT HOME ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINK SERANADES!
ZSA ZSA, whose age has been kept mysterious by her, reportedly spent her birthday at home after another 5 days in the hospital. Serenaded by her friend Englebert Humperdink, contrary to rumors that she could not even recognize her own husband anymore, there was a party for a few.
We know we all gotta go sometime and Zsa Zsa has lived a life rich with experiences and people, but perhaps what the story of Zsa Zsa and her hip replacement gone wrong is that she has the famous Hungarian spirit... NEVER GIVE UP!

Want to read about HUNGARY in ENGLISH? For many of us Magyar-Americans, Hungarian is a lost language and the renown difficulties of learning it keep us from even trying! Still, we don't have to remain ignorant of the NEWS in Hungary!
