"Here is Europe", the sign says. This kind of rubs its nose at Romania, where this border photo was taken.
I only have a smattering of photos in this part because I need to make a whole Hungarian section someday, incorporating stuff like this page of a friend named Anita.
Hungary is one of my favorite countries, and I've lived there and visited many, many times, so it deserves more analysis, but that's for another time.

This local train here at Tiszaujvaros is called the "Interpici", which in my mind is a play on words for the "Intercity" train. "Pici" means tiny. I can't explain why this fascinates me.

This sign must make Hungarians berserk.
It is both very difficult and expensive to get a visa.

A policeman took pains to tell me after I took this photo that it isn't used on normal patrol.

Sour cherry pastry. My earliest memory of Hungary in 1986 was that it was physically impossible to eat more then a dollar's worth of food from a bakery. It's time to bring back communism, I say.
