Hungary is such a beautiful country. I have lived here for already 14 years. I met a great number of wonderful Hungarians in this period and have seen quite a lot of the country during my 6.000 km biking tour through Hungary and on my other trips by train, car, bus, boat and even on foot (my walk in 2001 from Hungary to Holland).
For me (and supposedly for many others as well) it is so sad to see the slow progress Hungary is making in economic, social and many other fields. In many aspects, I see that things get even worse (e.g. many more homeless than in 1996). As long as the reputation of the government, regional and local authorities is known to be corrupt, bureaucratic and with all energy focused on their internal conflicts, I see little hope of change. Until....... the young generation will not accept this anymore.
The young Hungarians will travel and will be able to compare differences in life-style, income and opportunities with other countries. This country needs only a few young, clever and very determined minds to change Hungary for the better. It is a question of time. At one point in the future, Hungary will be as prosperous as many countries in the West and as Hungary has been once in the past.
The Smiling Hospital Foundation will engage the young very soon in a particular way. This effort may contribute towards a change in mentality Hungary needs. About this more next week.
