I just read up on Hungary in general, and I have to say that this portion of World history is the most interesting to me. While speaking it isn't my thing, living there must be cooler than hell. Thats Cradle of Civilization territory.

Wikipedia:

Quote:
There are about 14.5 million native speakers, of whom 9.5–10 million live in present-day Hungary. About 2.5 million speakers live outside present-day Hungary, but in areas that were part of the Kingdom of Hungary before the Treaty of Trianon (1920). Of these, the largest group lives in Transylvania, the western half of present-day Romania, where there are approximately 1.4 million Hungarians. There are large, majority Hungarian territories also in Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine, but Hungarian speakers can also be found in Croatia, Austria, and Slovenia, as well as about a million people scattered in other parts of the world, for example there are more than a hundred thousand Hungarian speakers in the Hungarian American community in the United States.

marrying a hungarian and moving there is your nightmare scenario? that's an oddly specific nightmare.
