Coin counting machines in Budapest? by Andy_nor

Where do I find them here in Budapest? I've got so much change in 5,10 and 20ft's saved up now that I need to exchange them in for bills instead. It's so hard to actually get to use the lower ft's here that these machines have to be somewhere, no? ...

Andy_nor

Thanks! :) Any special post office I need to go to though? Would maybe be wise to try out the one near Nyguati since it's bigger and all I would assume(?) all the best Read More

Andy_nor

Yeah! It's such a pain. If they removed everything below the 50ft's it would be all good; since the 50ft's can actually be used without people getting all mad. When you hand them lots of e.g. 10ft's or 20's they give you this kinda angry face. If I ... Read More

The population census in Hungary - need some help! by Andy_nor

I just heard from my friends that we are supposed to take a population census and that its compulsory for everyone. I haven't received a letter regarding this and was wondering how I should go about it? I read up online that I can get a fee if I ...

Andy_nor

I think your degree of concern should depend on whether you're the property owner or not. If you're a tenant, then place responsibility for completing the property questionnaire on your landlord. S/he may, or may not, require you to complete the ... Read More

Seems that they've already been here once while I was gone since I found a letter just now in my postbox with a notification of some documents (that's what google translate could figure out anyways).The title headline is: Ertesítés hivatalos irat ... Read More

Electronic store's in Budapest by Andy_nor

Anyone know of any? I only know of Media Markt at West-End really. It seems a bit overpriced, though they do have lot's of products. So pretty much: any suggestions on where to go for good prices on electronics here in Budapest (more ...

Andy_nor

Also, anyone know how they deal with the VAT here in Hungary when you buy something from another country e.g ebay or amazon? Back in Norway I had to pay 25% VAT of the product price when the product value exceeded 7500HUF - this did not include the ... Read More

Thanks for the good suggestions so far. Extreme Digital seems like a legit website to order from; so I'm considering buying what I'm after from that place (the product was about 15000HUF cheaper there compared to media markt's price). Also, ... Read More
