FIUME ROAD CEMETERY : BUDAPEST : HUNGARIAN HISTORY : WONDERFUL PLACES IN HUNGARY #36

 

YouTube Video Station :Zeno Kugy



Excerpt from this amazing site:

Fiumei Road Cemetery is more than a graveyard: it is one of Hungary’s largest collections of statues, and its 56-hectare, arboretum-like landscaped area has avenues harboring 10 species of tree and 110 different bird species.

Fiumei Road Cemetery that opened in 1849 as the public cemetery of Pest is the only cemetery to be a national memorial in its entirety, an open-air history book of modern-day Hungary in which one will find traces of the Age of Dualism, national development, communism, the 1848-49 War of Independence and 1956 Revolution, as well as the democratic multi-party system.  ...

The mausoleums of Count Lajos Batthyány, Ferenc Deák and Lajos Kossuth transformed the cemetery into a national place of worship, where the impressive Apponyi funerary coach also reminds us of the final respects paid to the immortals of the nation.

OWNING A CROW IN THE UNITED STATE IS ILLEGAL?!


I like to post about Crows on MAGYAR AMERICAN because the old tribal chiefs and their soldiers were thought to be like the Crows - clever and inventive -  And because I once had a view of a male crow and his two females on either side of him - who would play with a long stick in his mouth.  They are, like some other birds, also very good at finding interesting bits and pieces on the ground.

HUNGARIAN CITIZENSHIP

LOS ANGELES : HUNGARY CONSULATE : HUNGARIAN CITIZENSHIP  Applications must be made in person.

One of the reasons I'm posting on this is because people with Hungarian heritage are interested in leaving the United States and living in Hungary for various reasons including the cost of living, retirement, and having dual-citizenship.

I feel that it may be important to actually live in Hungary for a while in order to make a more informed decision on this. 

Do you want to live in Budapest or another large city or a small town or the country?

Do you speak the language? Are you good at learning new languages?

Do you want to be part of an "American colony" or integrate yourself with Hungarians living there?

Do you have an accurate sense of what it costs to live in Hungary?

Are you employable or entirely dependent on retirement income or savings or investments?
