Hello ExpatExchange.com Members!

One area of interest for many expatriates is the need for assistance in
settling in and the management of culture shock. In order to identify
the information most needed by expats as they adapt to international
living, we'd like to know the biggest hurdles you faced in the process
of moving overseas.

Please help us in this project by answering these few questions:

When you moved to Hungary, what was the most difficult part of settling
in there?

How much difficulty did you have with culture shock in Hungary?

What would be the best, single piece of advice you'd give to an expat
(or soon to be expat) in Hungary?

As someone looking to move to hungary, the most important information I am looking for is honesty in just what is involved in moving and the worst and best case senarios, useful numbers and site addresses and where expats can meet and find a friendly face.

Hi, we moved to Hungary last July. We have 2 houses here, a small house high in the hills above Eger and a house in the centre of the village of Sirok that we live in in winter and let out in summer. The language is probably the biggest hurdle so it's important to find an English/Hungarian speaking person that you can trust to help you through the minefield of Hungarian beurocracy. Once here, the culture and pace of life are very easy to get used to and far easier/better than the UK. If the beaurocrats say it can't be done DON'T BELIEVE THEM. Very often it's easier for them to say that than actually do the job they're paid to do.
