Hi!

I recently moved to budapest with my boyfriend and now I am looking for some new friends. At first I will do a language course, then I will look for a job. Anyone interested in meeting for a coffee, drink, film or just sit around in the sun? I would be very happy, if you release me from my lonelyness!

hope to see you soon

Hi Barbara,

Welcome to Budapest!

This week will start a wine exposition in the castle, with of course wine testing activities... Moreover it is one of the best point of view of Budapest...

Anybody else interested to come?

Are you by any chance a fellow Firefly fan?
The Hungarian dubbing was horrible, so it never gained much attention here, but there are some bleeding-heart browncoats around. Yes, even besides me :-)

Back to your question I'm sure you'll find lots of friends, most young people speak English to a varying extent.

I always advise people to try and pick up the same or similar kind of hobbies, sports, bars, parties like they used to at home. You'll be greeted warmly and make lots of friends instantly.
