Hungary ['h??g?ri] (Hungarian Magyarország; IPA&_160;[m???rorsa?g]; listen&_160;), officially in English the Republic of Hungary (Magyar Köztársaság listen&_160;, literally Magyar (Hungarian) Republic), is a landlocked country in the Carpathian Basin of Central Europe, bordered by Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Its capital is Budapest. Hungary is a member of OECD, NATO, EU and a Schengen state. The official language is Hungarian (also known as Magyar), which forms part of the Finno-Ugric family. It is one of the four official languages of the European Union that is not of Indo-European origin.

Following a Celtic (after c. 450 BC) and a Roman (9 BC - c. 4th century) period, the foundation of Hungary was laid in the late Ninth Century by the Magyar chieftain Árpád, whose great grandson István ascended to the throne with a crown sent from Rome in 1000. The Kingdom of Hungary existed with minor interruptions for 946 years, and at various points was regarded as one of the cultural centers of the Western world. It was succeeded by a Communist era (1947-1989) during which Hungary gained widespread international attention regarding the Revolution of 1956 and the seminal move of opening its border with Austria in 1989, thus accelerating the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. The present form of government is parliamentary republic (since 1989). Today, Hungary is a high-income economy[3], and a regional leader regarding certain economic markers[4]. Its current goal is to become a developed country by IMF standards (its HDI[5] world ranking is 36th and rising).

Hungary was one of the 15 most popular tourist destinations in the world in the past decade[6][7], with a capital regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world[8][9]. The country is home to the second largest thermal lake in the world (Lake Hévíz), the largest lake in Central Europe (Lake Balaton), and the largest natural grassland in Europe (Hortobágy).

In the time of the Roman Empire, the region west of the Danube river was known as Pannonia. After the Western Roman Empire collapsed under the stress of the migration of Germanic tribes and Carpian pressure, the Migration Period continued bringing many invaders to Europe. Among the first to arrive were the Huns, who built up a powerful empire under Attila. Attila the Hun was erroneously regarded as an ancestral ruler of the Hungarians. It is believed that the origin of the name "Hungary" does not come from the Central Asian nomadic invaders called the Huns, but rather originated from 7th century, when Magyar tribes were part of a Bulgar alliance called On-Ogour, which in Old Turkish meant "(the) Ten Arrows" [10]. After Hunnish rule faded, the Germanic Ostrogoths then the Lombards came to Pannonia, and the Gepids had a presence in the eastern part of the Carpathian Basin for about 100 years. In the 560s the Avars founded the Avar Khaganate ,[11] a state which maintained supremacy in the region for more than two centuries and had the military power to launch attacks against all its neighbours. The Avar Khagnate was weakened by constant wars and outside pressure. The Franks under Charlemagne managed to defeat the Avars ending their 250 year rule. Neither the Franks nor others were able to create a lasting state in the region until the freshly unified Hungarians led by Árpád settled in the Carpathian Basin starting in 896. [12].

The average age in which people get married in Western society has been steadily increasing for decades, standing now at 28 for men and 27 for women, with many people waiting until their mid 30s before tying the not.

8. How to find the cost of dental implants abroad
June 29, 2008

Dental tourism is a rapidly growing trend, as it should be due to the inflated costs in many countries. Every year, tens of thousands of Americans, Britons and Western Europeans leave their home countries in search of dental treatments abroad. Dental treatments that provide them the look they are after without consuming their life savings. To put the cost in perspective, in the U.S., a new set of teeth for a “dentally challenged” person can exceed 50 thousand dollars, relative to the cost of some homes or luxury vehicles in rural America. Dental implants, with a price tag typically over 250... (read more)

10. The Door by Magda Szabo
May 27, 2008

The Door by Magda Szabo is a detailed, intimate account of a relationship between two women. Paradoxically, it was the distance between them that generated the intimacy. Presented with behaviour and attitudes she could not identify with or recognise, a young writer tries to analyse her maid’s motives, to rationalise her strangeness, to explain her unconventional behaviour. It is clear from the start that the new maid, Emerence, has had a fundamentally different kind of life from her employer. And, as the relationship develops, details of that life are slowly unearthed to be shared. Memori... (read more)

11. Ballet shoes in Budapest
May 27, 2008

It is amazing how seeing, hearing or smelling something can suddenly evoke long-lost forgotten memories. This happened to a friend of mine recently when she was on a weekend break in Budapest, Hungary. While wandering down one of the city’s many shopping streets, her eyes were suddenly drawn to a pair of ballet shoes sitting in one of the shop windows. Upon seeing the ballet shoes she was transported in an instant to another time and another place entirely. The story begins in war torn Germany, where her mother was born. She was a Jew living in Berlin and was still only 15 years old when ... (read more)

13. Closing the Gap
April 30, 2008

Dental care in Britain is nearly nonexistent these days. Finding a skilled dentist in your own neighbourhood is next to impossible-if you can actually find one, then you probably cannot afford them, and they probably are not NHS. In order to get the dental care that they need and want, people from the UK are now regularly traveling overseas. The dental care that can be found abroad, such as in Hungary, is top quality and affordable at the same time. Combining dental needs with a holiday has become the best way to go, and, lately these health-holidays have become rather chic, as well! Fo... (read more)

Light dances and sparkles through the stained glass, sending magical beams of colour down through the misty air and illuminating the warm wafts of swirling steam before coming to rest atop the surface of the pool; where soothing minerals, pumped up from natural springs, soak into the skin of the patrons of the Gellert Baths, slowly massaging away all the aches and pains of everyday life. Around them, marble columns tower, and lion fountains slowly trickle more water. Artistic sculptures and mosaics and Art-Nouveau furnishings stand alongside ancient Ottoman architecture, aesthetically plea... (read more)

With over half a dozen baths in Hungary's capital, it's easy to find yourself in hot water in Budapest.

For centuries, Hungarians have been extolling the health virtues of their waters which are full of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, fluoride, sodium and calcium; and apparently do wonders for muscular ailments, while also proving ideal for unwinding the mind.

21. The History Of Diamond Jewelry
February 27, 2008

Diamond jewelry has been valued and worn throughout most of recorded history, although the art and science of cutting loose diamonds is relatively new - and diamond jewelry has only been available to the general public for the last 150 years or so. Prior to that, diamond jewelry was worn almost exclusively by royalty. The earliest example of diamonds being placed in a setting dates from the time of the Norman Invasion of England; at that time, one of the Árpád kings of Hungary, possibly Andrew I, had rough-cut diamonds set into a crown for his queen. However, cut diamonds would not be ava... (read more)

25. Know Your Perfume
January 29, 2008

The word `perfume` is derived from the Latin `per fume` which means through smoke. Perfume making began in ancient Egypt; later, it was improved by the Romans and the Arabs. The process of distilling oils from flowers was discovered by an Iranian doctor, and this is the process still used in perfume making today. Modern perfume was first made in 1370 in Hungary, by blending scented oils in an alcoholic solution, and was known all over Europe as Hungary water. Perfume making continued to be developed in Italy during the Renaissance, and in France from the 16th century onwards. Growi... (read more)
