Seriously fantastic. I want to go back when covid is no longer a thing and i'm able to travel more easily and longer distances. I spent 7 days in Debrecen and was able to travel around that area on day trips. i will be coming back to Hungary and bringing my family for a longer visit in the next few years.
How do you feel about Viktor Orbán? According to leftist media he is causing "democratic backslide".. ? He's also been in power a lot over the last 20 years which often can have negatives associated and corruption growth. However, nationalism is seen as bad by media and communism is seen as good so i don't really believe it.
I had one interaction with an extremely anti-american communist woman who literally would only spew profanity at me once she found out i was american, but it was in stark contrast to all other interactions with people. I did my best to learn a few words a day and always lead off any conversation with greetings in hungarian before asking if they spoke english... but in such a short time and not being a planned trip, I was unable to do more.
You should come to the South. Pécs is super beautiful , you can hike in Mecsek, there is a spa in Harkány, there is a small, super chill summer music festival (I hope it will still exist) called Fishing on Orfű by these mountain lakes, there is a little wakeboard place nearby, the Abaliget cave, Villány is a wine region where you can go tour all the cellars and grab some great food, lake Balaton is pretty close as well. If you have a bit more money and you have the certification/experience, you can go hunting. Some places offer horse riding as well. A bunch of fun things.
Orbán is a politician. By nature, I don't love politicians. They always try to benefit themselves and their buddies and that will never change, left, right, center, green, blue, anything.
BUT. He is 10000% right about certain things. Supporting families to be able to buy or build homes and to get cars suited to a bigger family is absolutely right. Cold or not, a lot of times people's decisions about the number of kids they have absolute hinges on things like... do we have enough space? Can the whole family get somewhere without having to think who goes in the car and who stays every time?
Incentivising people to have kids is the way, not importing a perpetually dependent class of people who absolutely can't fit in and will be criminal and destructive.
The leftists before him weren't any less corrupt and they desperately want to fit in with the fascist left of Western Europe.
The left here is also a bunch of retards who can't even agree with each other on what to have for lunch. Let alone forming any form of a unified face and plan for anything.
Crazies exist everywhere, sadly. 99% of people are fine with you Muricans. We also have very colourful expressions to deal with those people. "Anyád picsája" is wonderful and concise. (Means your mother's cunt. Many a Hungarian conversation was closed with it.)

I am saving all these idea for next time, Thank you!
I agree with you on Orban. Thank you for providing your perspective and insight. It can be hard in the west to get the realities of what politicians over there are doing. I was unaware of those specifics on what he has pushed for. I 1000% agree. Families and children and encouraging both is the way to a prosperous nation and happy hardworking people on top of avoiding all the problems associated with 3rd world immigrants.
"Anyád picsája"
I love that! I also do not mean to imply I think less of Hungary due to that interaction. You're countries recent dealings with communism/socialism and the specters still hanging around are understandable things and I love that those people only serve to perpetuate the reminder of how bad those things are/were.
So glad you had a good time with us.
