HungaryLandscape, climate, languageHungary is a country in Central Eastern Europe and is surrounded by 7 other countries which are Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria. The capital of Hungary is Budapest. Since May 1, 2004 Hungary is a memeber of the European Union. The country is devided into 19 different couties but Budapest, the capital, is independent from any county government. Hungary is a mainly flat country except from the northern hilly region Transdanubia. The climate is a continental climate. It is said that Hungarian as a language is related to Finnish and Estonian but no Hungarian I ever met said that he understands any word in one of these two languages. Food and drinksIf you talk about Hungary the first things which pop into your mind are paprika, Puszta and Goulash. But of course Hungary has much more to offer. For example the Hungarian wine is excellent such as the wine region of Villany in the southern part of Hungary. The Hungarian kitchen offers by far more than a Goulash soup and paprika. The kitchen uses a lot of potatoes, sauces and Hungarians love to eat fresh vegetables and sour food such as cabbage, cucumber or paprika.
