		<description><![CDATA[Informal greetings between men and women friends and relatives are often a kiss on the cheeks, first left, then right. Kisses on the cheeks are not appropriate between men, except for close relatives and certain groups. Hungarians extend warm greetings. However, initial introductions in business are formal.

Hungary, in the heart of Central Europe, retains numerous traditions and cultural expectations based on gender that may be different from our own. For the newcomer, as well as for many long-time expatriates in Budapest, these subtle expectations can be hard to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nearly two-thirds of Hungarian workers stop working before the official retirement age, 80% of them voluntarily, a GFK survey commissioned by French insurance group AXA found. Hungary came second in both these categories among the 26 countries surveyed. Hungarians tend to be more pessimistic regarding their future retirement than the average European. Less than one-third [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hungarians are a very courteous and polite people. This is very pleasant and also reminds me of my own Latin heritage, where courtesy, and how one treats others in public is very important. Hungarians use two words which do not directly translate into English for how one treats other people; “rendes” (pronounced, “rendesh”) meaning [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hungarians are more formal than Danes, Australians or North Americans &#8211; more like the French and Germans, for instance. Formality is expressed in dress meetings, and greeting rituals. Hierarchy is moderately evident in the top-down approach to management, and in the relative scarcity of women business managers. Formality is a constant underlying feature of social [...]]]></description>

Budapest café culture has been alive and thriving to this day. Restaurants are places where you must wear a suit and tie, live up to class expectations or God-forbid, run in for a Big Mac [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Foremost, let us establish the fact that this is not written from a Hungarian point of view. No doubt, as small children, Hungarians are taught this overly familiar type of greeting and see nothing wrong with placing their lips on the cheeks of the most far-flung acquaintances. Therefore, we must focus on the American expatriate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I noticed how personal appearance is important to people in Hungarian cities. Hungarians tend to be very good dressers. Especially among the older generation one is expected to dress appropriately for going out in public. Even among the young, fashionable dress is very important. It is interesting that in the new shopping centers it is [...]]]></description>
