Episode 72

This is part 7 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary. Today we are going to talk just a bit about cell phones and cell phone plans.

There are so many ways think about this that I am going to give you the questions you should be asking your cell phone provider before you go on a trip. They are the questions I ask each time I go overseas because these little international plans change quite frequently. They raise the prices, they give you more features, and sometimes I just get overwhelmed about all the options.

The bottom line for me is I need to be sure I can make international calls if a participant on one of our tours has a problem. I know I can probably access wifi a little bit every day, but I don’t really want to check email or text people unless it is an absolute emergency. I want to be as present as possible on the tour with the people in the group and engaged in what we are doing for the day. I don’t get to Hungary very often and I want to enjoy every moment! When I am at a hotel and if I have some downtime and want to check in, I can even do that if I am on airplane mode.

What do you need to do? Get to know your phone and get to know your plan. I have even printed out the instructions about how to do it in case I forget a step. Believe me, if you hit the wrong button while you are traveling, you can spend a lot of your data in a very short amount of time and not even know. Don’t count on others to know what is going on with your phone and your plan. You have to be the one who knows because you are the one who pays that bill. And it is no fun having surprises when it comes to a crazy international charge.

Contact your cell phone provider and ask them about their international plans. Is it a daily rate? A monthly rate? Are there different data options to choose from?

Ask them about the countries you are visiting, including your layover country. And ask them to email you about the step by step instructions on how to make sure your phone is ready for an international trip. And bring along a copy of that when you travel to refresh your memory!

One thing I do recommend is to download google maps to your phone if you are bringing one along so you don’t have to use data to look at a map. But be sure you understand how that works. When you are exploring, it is a good idea to have a little map with you—either a printed one or the one on your phone!

EPISODE 71

This is part 6 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary on the Hungarian Living Podcast.

Some people have said to me “I don’t need a travel agent and I don’t need travel insurance.”  I will share my thoughts about this in this episode!

Have you noticed? Even making your way across the USA by plane is a bit crazy these days.

If you are skilled at making flight reservations and you have travel points you want to use, by all means, make your own reservations. But when it comes to flying, you have a few things to consider like:

is a direct flight is available?

How long is a reasonable layover?

How do you plan to get to your hotel once you get off the flight?

I recommend you arrive a day or two ahead of schedule if you are joining a tour. This gives you a moment to rest a recuperate from the flight and it builds in a little cushion in case your flight gets delayed.

And trip/travel/tour insurance? Definitely look into it. In most cases, if you have a pre-existing condition, you need to purchase your insurance within 10 days or less of your flight or tour deposit, whichever happened first.

When you buy travel insurance be sure you know what it covers! It will take a minute to sort through all of your options, but just remember, insurance is designed to give you piece of mind. And, if you plan on doing a bit of travel within a year, consider an annual plan.

We recommend insurance because when we send the money over to Hungary and Transylvania for our deposits, in most cases they are non-refundable. That means we do not get any money back if you don’t show up. We cannot return what we don’t have. There is a time frame for cancellations on any tour you take so be sure to ask what those details are whether you are traveling with us or someone else.

If you want to spend a day or two traveling to your ancestral village, contact me! We love helping people explore the regions where their parents, grandparents and great grandparents came from!

Episode 70

This is part 5 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary on the Hungarian Living Podcast.

Some people have asked me, “Isn’t everything worth seeing in Hungary in Budapest? Is it necessary to go the countryside?”

Budapest us an amazing city to visit. But, as I like to say, the magic is in the countryside. There is so much to see and do in Budapest you can explore and get along pretty well only knowing English. But, consider finding a way to get into the countryside. It will give you a much deeper appreciate for the country, as a whole. It’s true, Budapest is romantic and gorgeous and full of incredible history. But the countryside is full of people, my kind of people. The regular Joes who live and work and play in the villages and small towns. I think the villages resonate with me because that is where my ancestors came from. Maybe that is why I felt comfortable in small town Nebraska for so many years – it was in my genes!

It does get a little more complicated setting up a travel plan outside of Budapest. But it is completely worth going.  If you love to plan the details of a trip, go for it! Some people love planning everything – vehicle rentals and hotels and all that. We have done it and it takes a lot of work. Actually, I should say my husband did it. But, he did consider everyone traveling (our four kids) and asked them each to come up with a few things that were important for them to see in this once in a lifetime (or so we thought) trip. Getting those who are joining you on the trip to chip in an idea or two is a good way to get them engaged in the processl

The special places our kids picked out were put into the itinerary. But the memorable moments were from things that were unplanned or discovered along the way.

This exact same thing has happened to us a time or two on our tours as well. We have a plan and then there is an adjustment in the plan.

I have figured out that I don’t like to be in the nitty gritty details of the plans. I like coming up with the big picture and trusting the details will be covered by the person who loves that sort of thing. I like building in some flexibility so that adjustments can be made. But I am a person who can learn and have fun in many different situations, and I like to allow for spontaneity. A little down time is fine. A change in plans is to be expected. I like to have a rough sketch of a plan and then see what happens if I am traveling on my own. My husband likes to have a few more details fleshed out. Both approaches are completely valid and have their strong points.

If nailing down the details and following up with them is too exhausting, you might be a candidate for one of our tours. We spend 2/3rds of our time in the countryside, exploring a region and getting to know what it has to offer. My tour partner and I work out all the details and you can relax and have all the fun.

So, start thinking about how long you plan to be in Hungary. And then work back from there. If you only have three days, enjoy Budapest, but plan on a return trip when you can stay longer. My personal opinion is you should plan on at least 10 days in Hungary and even that isn’t enough time, but it is a great start. I think of it as a bit of a soak. It takes time to absorb the way of life. It takes time to get familiar with your surroundings – the language, the signs, the architecture, the history, the transportation options, and the culture. And you do need a lot of time to ponder the flavorful foods and beverages.  I don’t believe you do Hungary justice – or any country for that matter – when you run in and run out and say “CHECK it off my list, I’ve been there”. I think it is important to experience it a little. And, if you have family from Hungary, see if you can get close to where they lived. And, guess, what? We can help with that, too!

Episode 69

Szia! This is part 4 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary. Are planning to take one of our trips to Hungary or Transylvania or you are doing your own thing? Either way, today we are covering some important money things to consider as you plan your trip.

What do we need to think about when it comes to money?

Well, first of all, if you haven’t traveled in a while, traveler’s checks are just not the thing at all anymore. Don’t do it. It will set you up for all kinds of challenges.

Hungary is a part of the European Union so you can use Euros in Budapest. But I really recommend you get familiar with the Hungarian Forint. If you go out to the countryside, that is really the currency they will be using. I have only ever used forints when I have traveled to Hungary. It’s truly the local currency. It takes a little getting used to but with a little cheat sheet of some USD – HUF conversions, you will soon find yourself able to understand how much you are paying for things.

I always have some cash with me. And I don’t get it all exchanged when I arrive. I always take more than I think I need. It’s ridiculous to buy a scoop of ice cream with a credit card. And when you are out in the countryside and visiting small vendors, believe me, it is rare that they are set up to receive credit cards. You know every transaction comes with a fee that gets assessed to that little business. Do yourself a favor and do them a favor, pay in cash.

I never exchange money at the airport. The exchange rate is absolutely not in our favor at all. But, if you think you have to have $20 or $30 worth of Hungarian money in your pocket, you can do it. But unless you are flush with cash, you shouldn’t go that route for large exchanges. There are money exchange places all over Budapest and the rates are much better than at the airport. Personally, I would rather be generous with my money in other ways and not at the airport.

Get your money exchanged in Budapest before you go out to the countryside. It isn’t so easy to find places to exchange money once you leave the big city. It isn’t impossible, but it is just a good idea to have it settled before you leave town.

You might be able to get some money exchanged through your bank before you leave. I have never done that so I don’t know about the exchange rates or fees associated with that but, if you want to explore that option, it might be one for you. Just be ready to do that at least a month in advance. Give the system time to work.

____

I always have a credit card with me. Sometimes 2, just in case one decides to not cooperate. One time when I was traveling to Atlanta, all three of my credit cards were unusable. They were concerned that I was traveling away from my home state of Indiana. But a month earlier there were no questions when I used my cards internationally. That type of inconsistency forces me to have a back up plan to my back up plan. It’s a bit of a hassle but as much of a hassle as being stuck with no money.

One nice thing about traveling with us is you have two meals covered on each full day. So, you know you won’t go hungry. But, it is a bit of a pain.

I only use Visa or Mastercard when I travel. Discover and American Express cards aren’t really popular or well known. Maybe they have high fees for the vendor, I don’t know but it isn’t worth having a card along that may or may not be used so I just don’t mess with those kinds of cards.

____

I always contact my credit card company and tell them all the countries I will be traveling to and when. Even the countries I will simply have a layover in at the airport. You just never know when I short layover will become a long one.

If you haven’t set up a pin code for your cards, I would recommend it. I set the same pin for both cards, that way I am not trying to figure out which card has which pin code.

So, just to recap a bit, having cash with you is always a good idea. Make sure your credit card company knows you are traveling and you have your personal identification number (pin) set up. And

Episode 68

Szia! This is part 3 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary. If you are planning to take one of our trips to Hungary or Transylvania or you are doing your own thing, we will be covering some important things to consider as you plan your trip.

This time we are talking about documenting your journey.

I have mixed feelings about having cell phones on a trip. There are some great cameras on cell phones and that is probably my favorite thing about having a phone along. And while it is awesome to be able to take amazing photos, it is also very distracting — for the photo taker.  Some people actually miss out on the here and now experience because they are taking a lot of photos.

I know, it is a hard call. I take photos a lot – for ideas, for memories, for promotional brochures. There are times I just have to remind myself that I don’t always need to have a photo for everything – in fact, that’s why journals are a good idea! A photo does give a great visual but it can’t use your own words to communicate your thoughts and emotions and the other details of your experience. Do yourself a favor, experience where you are without always needing all the photos and consider keeping a daily journal of your trip. I suggest taking notes in a tiny, portable notebook you can have with you during the day. Then at the end of the day, do a longer recap of the day. Every day you will have so many experiences that it is best to write them down each evening. Or, if you tend to wake up in the wee hours of the morning, grab your notebook and find a quiet place to think your thoughts and write out your experiences!

If you visited your grandparents’ village and walked around, how did that feel? What did it leave you wondering?

If you walked into a butcher shop and you inhaled the amazing aroma of the smokey meats, did it remind you of something from your younger years?

If you are traveling with an elderly parent, what was it like watch them reconnect with a family member? Did they start telling you stories you hadn’t heard before? How might you share those stories with others? Of course, there is nothing like being there and hearing the stories first hand, but try to recapture something of the experience before life gets crazy and you forget yourself.

Do you see what I am trying to say? There isn’t always a photo captured for these types of emotions. But thinking them over and putting them to paper – even if just to say it was indescribable paints a picture for the reader. And we don’t always know who the reader is or when they might be pouring over these memories.

As you think about documenting your journey, there is no right or wrong way. There are advantages to each. Just remember to be present and experience it! If you spend too much time behind a camera or in a phone, you will definitely miss out on a few things.

Episode 67

Szia! This is part 2 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary. And if you are planning to take one of our trips to Hungary or Transylvania or you are doing your own thing, we will be covering some important things to consider as you plan your trip. So take notes.

Today we’re talking about walking and why it is a good idea to start now in anticipation of a trip.

It’s a good idea to start adding extra walking steps into your days if you are planning any international travel. It might come in handy as early as at the airport where you might be required to change terminals or run like crazy because your gate changed at the last minute.

Budapest certainly has a great transportation system, but if you only travel by bus, taxi, tram or metro you will be missing out on a lot. In fact, you might spend more time trying to understand all that, especially if you don’t speak Hungarian then you would if you just decided a nice walk will get you to where you want to go, I love every form of travel and there are certainly benefits to each. But there are some hidden gems in places where you have to walk.

Of course, you should check in with your doctor first, but most people can add more walking into their day and their doctor won’t mind at all. In fact, if you can start taking the stairs more often, that will come in handy too. There are not necessarily elevators in every building that you might end up visiting.

On our tours, we might we find ourselves in a medieval castle, in a palace, or taking a stroll in a vineyard. Cobblestone streets are fairly common place and certainly add to the charm of Hungary. And don’t forget, you will be faced with a lot of amazing food decisions. Planning to do a little extra walking will help offset your calor intake, if you know what I mean!

Are you planning to travel with a buddy? Don’t forget to talk to them about adding more movement into their every day! Travel is more fun when you are in better shape!

Episode 66

Hello hello! It’s another icipici series on the Hungarian Living podcast. This time we focus on Traveling to Hungary! What do you need to know? Even if you have visited to Hungary before, we are talking about important things like passports, travelers insurance, credit cards and local currency, flights, phone plans, and all the ways it might be helpful to prepare for travel, so stick around!

This is part 1 of the icipici series of Traveling to Hungary. And if you are planning to take one of our tours to Hungary or Transylvania or you are doing your own thing, we will be covering some important things to consider as you plan your trip.

But first, I just want to say how exciting it is to see all the countries that are represented in our podcast statistics. Of course, we always expect listeners from the United States and Canada because there are so many, many people with Hungarian heritage in these countries. But we also have listeners in Hungary, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, China, and many more! It’s so exciting see where our listeners are listening from and hear from them! We love it!

So, let’s talk about travel!

My first question for you is:  Do you have a passport? If not, and you want to travel internationally, don’t wait any longer to apply! It takes a little time to work through the process. There is a link in the show notes with all the details on how to apply! It isn’t complicated but it takes a little time. So get moving on that. https://www.usa.gov/passport

If you already have a passport, do you know where your passport is? If you have recently moved or purged, you might have set your passport in a safe place. In fact, I need to make sure I know where mine is because I haven’t needed it for years. Ugh. And we did just move. I know exactly where it was in the old house but in this house? Hm. I need to think about it for a moment. I can’t say I can put my fingers on it in the next 5 minutes. Be sure you know where your passport is!

When does your passport expire? It is very important to know the expiration date when you are making travel plans. For example, let’s say you have a passport that expires on August 1, 2023. You might think that you can travel internationally and then be back by mid July 2023 and everything is great. Nope! You need a 6 month cushion on your passport. So, before you even think about traveling, get ahold of a passport if you don’t already have one. If you have a passport, make sure you know where it is? And be sure to double check the expiration date of your passport.

Are you planning to travel with a buddy? Don’t forget to talk to them about their passport, too! You want to be ready to travel when the opportunity arises, and the stress of passport delays or extra fees are no fun! Alright, we covered enough for today. Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Icipici edition of the Hungarian Living Podcast all about Traveling to Hungary.

Episode 65

We are wrapping up our series on Getting Started with Hungarian! This is the last official episode in the series!

Szai! Welcome to Episode 65 of the Hungarian Living podcast! This is part 8 of the Icipici Series on Getting Started with Hungarian.

If you are tuning into this episode first, I recommend you go back and listen to the whole series. Remember, they are just Icipici so they won’t take a lot of time!

Episode 58 Part 1

Episode 59 Part 2

Episode 60 Part 3

Episode 61 Part 4

Episode 62 Part 5

Episode 63 Part 6

Episode 64 Part 7

So you can have all the things that will help you get in a good space for Getting Started in Hungarian. It is important to be squared away and get started on the right foot!

But first, let’s talk about the danger of perfecting a phrase that might get you into trouble!

There have been numerous times I have been to a Hungarian festival and someone comes up to me and says “Jo napot! Hogy vagy?” which means, “Hello, how are you?’ Well, I can answer that with a question so I often do because I am always excited to practice my speaking skills.. And then they typically say “Well, that’s all I’ve got. That’s all I know” And the conversation switches to English. And that is perfectly fine. I love that they know that much. In fact, I used to be able to only really say that much because I heard it over and over again. We catch onto things quickly in those younger years. But wouldn’t it be fun to get to a place where you can go further than that and be able to respond to a few niceties? Maybe be able to ask a few questions and have a sense of the answer?

My husband, who is not Hungarian, does pretty well saying: Nem beszelek magyarul. Which means: I do not speak Hungarian. Unfortunately, as he is saying that, he is indeed speaking Hungarian and that actually gets him in trouble. I guess he needs to change his answer to: Csak egy kicsit beszélek magyarul. Which means: I only speak a little Hungarian.

My caution to you is, if you are going to perfect a phrase, be prepared to hear the next thing in Hungarian. Those who speak fluently or link to practice will be so excited to hear that you speak Hungarian that they will definitely want to continue the conversation.

Let’s talk about how to do that.

There are a lot of apps that you can download and the free versions can be very helpful. I don’t pay for all of the tools that I use for my Hungarian learning adventure. I pick and choose. I have used the free version of DuoLingo the most, but there are also other ones like Quizlet and Drops. I love Catch Budapest’s One Hungarian Word a Day.

 Sometimes I listen to Hungarian folk songs by groups like Holviola and Balkan Fanatiks

And sometimes I challenge myself to memorize a few thins like the first verse of the Hungarian national anthem

Actually, anything set to music is good for me. Even children’s songs. I learned a number quite a few songs and they are coming in handy when I want to sing to my grandkids. I have use the Hungarian national anthem to sing them to sleep when they were babies because it is a pretty slow song and they don’t care if I mispronounce something here and there! But, there are peppy ones too, like Az a Szep and Debrecenbe kenne menni.

Have you tried memorizing the Common Table Prayer? Or the first verse of the famous poem by Petofi Sandor? The Nemzeti dal (or national song) is a fun challenge. I have only tackled the first verse. Some day I will do more. It  starts out Talpra Magyar hi a haza itt az idő most vagy soha! This part loosely translates to  On your feet, your country calls you. This is the time, now or never!

One thing that might be helpful for you is to find a study buddy – someone you can report to about your progress and can help you celebrate your success! There are other Hungarian learners out there! We have collected quite a few! Come join us!

As I mentioned before, there is no substitute for engaging with a real person who understands how to teach Hungarian. So, we have a number of options for you to consider. But you have to contact me! We can find a class for you if you are interested in taking your Hungarian language skills to the next level! We can help you find a place to belong, to be encouraged, as well as be challenged as you learn Hungarian.

We have regular classes with an instructor—small groups that meet for one hour each week. Most of our sessions are 12-14 weeks long.

We have review sessions – So if you have the MagyarOK books and have worked through the CH 1-4 and want a review session, we’ve got you covered! And if you want a review session for Ch 3-5, we have that too! We don’t do these review sessions all the time so take advantage of them when they are offered! This is a great way to get more solid on material you think you kow or have learned before but have possibly forgotten.

Are you working through Hungarian material by yourself but a little frustrated by not understanding what you are learning? Then our Hungarian Language Clinic is a perfect opportunity for you to ask your random grammar and vocabulary questions and get answers! We meet each week for one hour and it is open season on our instructor who can field all sorts of questions with patience and wisdom! Or, just come and listen to all the questions others bring until you get the courage to ask your own. A fun and friendly group.

And, speaking of fun, Want to practice your speaking skills? Yep, this is definitely where I am still a bit nervous. But every time I practice, I am glad I do! Our Hungarian Dialogue Sessions are a great way to get busy speaking and get feedback from the instructor. The dialogues are preset so you don’t have to worry about making grammar mistakes. You just have to focus on the pronunciation piece. And, bit by bit, you will get there. For a more in depth explanation of our Hungarian Dialogue Sessions, check out Episode 17 of the Hungarian Living Podcast. And Episode 38 talks a bit more in depth about Hungarian Language Learning Opportunities. Call us to take the next step in your language learning! 1-800-786-7851!

And, don’t worry, even though this is the last official episode of the IciPici series of Getting Started with Hungarian of the Hungarian Living Podcast we will surely do more episodes about learning Hungarian. We have more Icipici and full length podcasts coming up! As always, if you have a suggestion or comment, please contact us at [email protected] – we love to hear from our listeners! We are delighted to see we have listeners from all over the world and it is amazing! Truly, we are excited about the positive response and encourage you to recommend this podcast to others. Thanks for listening and have an awesome week!
