When people ask where I'm from (yes, my accent tells me I was born somewhere else) I always tell 'From Hungary'. And then (judged by the look on their faces) I always add 'Europe'. And then they're humming as it is obvious to them. Liars! The helicopter pilot in Las Vegas was the first honest man I met:
- Where're you guys from?
- Hungary.
- And where the Hell is that?!
I know it's a small nation and although it gave the world Zsazsa Gabor, the rubik cube and the modern computer no one ever hears about it (except if they're finance experts focusing on emerging European markets, then they here a lot about Hungary these days :P) I don't expect people to know my country. Just don't call it Romania, please! It was always fun seeing people acting like they know Hungary and me knowing they haven't got a single clue where it is; so this honesty was nice for a change :D
