Hungary: Hungarian Email Etiquette:
Greetings everyone!
I looked through the forum for a similar question but didn't find it. I'm an American with Hungarian heritage and I recently learned about the 2011 citizenship act. I'm very excited at the possibility of dual citizenship. I've dug up a few ancestry documents so far and contacted the consulate with no response. I decided to get some assistance and found some Hungarian lawyers online (both located in Budapest). They both responded to my email in 2 days with an initial estimate, and both said they'd be happy to answer more questions. I did ask another question but it's now been 3 weeks without a response from either.
I realize 3 weeks is not that long. (I'm very excited and a little impatient, but it's my responsibility to deal with my impatience.)
My real question is: are business and email etiquette very different from the US? From what I've read so far there are a number of cultural differences but I don't know about business. Is business normally done at a slow pace? Are there things that Hungarians consider rude that I might not expect, and I should avoid doing?
I'm asking for general knowledge as I hope to live in Hungary at some point and I should learn the culture. By the way both lawyers are young, in their 20s. In general I expect most of my interactions to be with Hungarians my age, so it's primarily young Hungarian culture that I'm interested in.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
