Hungary - Staying or Leaving?

Lotsokids · March 20, 2013, 09:52:50 AM

So I'm pretty frustrated with this country. The culture is a lot different (especially in the medical area) than what one can expect in the U.S.

After discussing this with my wife, we determined that she REALLY wants to stay (for travelling), and I REALLY want to leave. There are some perks that my company has provided including a good salary, plus I just got a raise today! So my wife told me if I stay another 3 years, I could ship my beloved V-Max over here. But this would mean selling my FJ. The FJ is a very powerful beast, but I've always liked my V-Max better. And it's just rotting in a garage now.

Besides crappy medical care, a big reason I want to leave is my hobby. I love to tinker, fix, and modify vehicles. Here in Hungary everything must be OEM or it doesn't get registered. When you walk into a parts store here, there is simply a desk. No shopping or looking around. You need a certain part, and they will order it. Accessories? Forget it.

What to do..... Thanks for listening.

Is there anywhere else in that part of the world where you could BOTH be happy?

You mean in formerly Communist countries? Absolutely not. Maybe Germany.

That's Eu and its regulation.. Have experienced them my self too..
I know eastern EU has an old bureaucracy and a completely diffrent culture then rest of EU. When it comes to governmental things its very visible.

Mean no disrespect, things are just done differently in the rest of Europe
No country in Europe i guess likes mo defied cars, not without paying for it anyway...

This is interesting. It kind of supports my desire to leave.

Move back to America. New Hampshire would suit you fine. Plus...you can buy any pistol/long gun you want. I live in Massachusetts....and hate it. 28 acres in NH is waiting....only about 8 years away.

Idaho would welcome you to.... Lots of guns and minimum bike rules, if you are younger than 18 you have to wear a helmet and everyone has to have a motorcycle endorsement ..... Now that all the motorcycle rules have been explained. Have a nice ride..... You can go visit the more "progressive" states to the West anytime you want......
Don't let the endorsement deal scare you. I didn't ride for 10 years got a bike and a week later rode there obstacle course got 100%........
