Hungary and Capital city Budapest.
By Mark on August 27, 2008
Hi this is Mark here, I have been doing these blogs for two to three months now and I really enjoy doing them as I keep saying, but now and again I like to try something different. This time rather having me write about Hungary, I am giving you the opportunity to find out about Hungary yourselves with my assistance, at the bottom of this page are a number of links to help you explore and find out what this country is really like, so please take this opportunity and see. The history of Hungary is massive and if i was to write about this country you would become very bored, so by having musical videos, you can now enjoy this post as I do.
This is a picture taken from Google Earth of Hungary and her surrounding neighbours.
That Hungary in situated in central to eastern Europe surrounded by up to seven different countries you have Austria and Slovenia to the west and to the east you have Ukraine and Romania, to the north you have Slovakia and to the south you have Croatia and Serbia. The Danube river goes right through the centre of the country from the north to the south. To the east of the country the river heads off to the river Tisza and pasturelands and other areas suitable for agriculture. To the west the river goes to bakony forest where it meets up with lake balton the largest and deepest lake in central Europe. The summers are warm in Hungary, but the winters are very cold and even colder than western Europe.
This is a picture taken from Google earth of a larger scale of Hungary.

Budapest is a bubbling city with plenty to see and do, so if you are ever on a trip around Europe, you really should go as this country as some exciting places to visit and see from a castle to a fortress, Parliament to a Palace and Museums, Cathedrals, Churches and much much more, parks, restaurants, and wine bars and shops you will find pretty much anything apart from beaches. So go and explore one of the oldest and most famous cities of all Budapest and go and see different parts of the Danube River. Plus you can enjoy the whole country and her mystical side towards Transylvania, in Romania.

Wowww, very wrong on the history part…
Magyar’s were never associated with Indonesian origin, or at least not by any credible source. The Magyar tribes originally came from an area around the Ural mountain in today’s Russia. The “Magyar Kingdom” – Magyar Királyság was founded in 1000 AD, and lasted until the German occupation in 1944. It did not ceased to end when Charles Robert took the Hungarian throne in 1312 – he could claim it since his grandmother was Hungarian. It did not cease to end neither when a part of the country were occupied by Ottoman foces, and Transylvania became independent from Hungary, neither when it became part of the Habsburg Empire – which later became the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Mongolian invasion did not wipe out the original Magyar population although the losses were great, and king Béla IV had to repopulate parts of the country with foreigners. Most of them were Germans.
Hungary joined only the EU in 2004, to the NATO it was 1999…
