least friendly nation ive ever encountered , extremely corrupt and cynical too , blatant attempts to rip you off at every turn
I visited countries in just about every continent, including Ireland and I don't think Hungary stood out as a place full of people trying to rip you off
Having followed Truth555's topics and posts, I can only conclude it is because they lack mongoloid genes, and as the only true and pure Europeans, they are genetically superior on all levels, physical and intellectual. Am I right Truth555?

Yet, the Old Magyars, ancestor of Hungarians (at least linguistically) were full-Mongoloid looking:
A reconstitution based on bones and rests of vestimentation from tombs of early Magyars in Hungary:
That's not a very attractive look either - straight from steppes of Central Asia or something...))))
i don't get it, even if they're mongols then so what? genchis khan, who is perhaps the best known mongol had the biggest empire in history (despite what english claim that their empire was 1 km bigger or so... .
Here's history though, to prove connection between hungary, bulgaria and mongols:
"The Dulo Clan or the House of Dulo was the ruling Bulgar dynasty,[1] of states in various parts of eastern Europe, including Magna Hungaria (until the 13th century), Patria Onoguria (from 460 CE), and Old Great Bulgaria (c. 632 CE). Attila the Hun was reputedly descended from the founding ancestor of the Dulo clan, a "Maeotian" king.[2] The Nominalia of the Bulgarian Khans names this ancestor as Avitohol.[3]"
and here is the Hun/Mongol connection:
"Huns
These Asiatic horse warriors are understood to have originated from the Ordos region of Mongolia. Usually identified as the Hsiung-nu (Xiongnu) people in contemporary Chinese records, they may not have formed this peoples directly, but could have been part of a temporary confederation. For whatever reason (probably population pressure on traditional hunting grounds) they began a migration towards the west in the fourth century. In the 360s, they left Scythia (also known as Samartia), the plains to the north of the Black Sea which reached as far as the Caspian Sea."
if it's still not clear, the best guess these days is that the Xiognu left mongolia back in the days in hopes of attacking the roman empire in europe and stealing their gold. They made Budapest their capital as some other user here mentioned...then they divided further between bulgaria, hungary and ukraine. Of course bulgaria and ukraine have other presences too: slavic, celtic, tatar, germanic.

its an incredibly corrupt country , hardly anyone pays any tax if they can avoid it , everyone from taxi drivers to people who offer professional services are pretty brazen in their attempts to swindle you ( and the goverment )
This kind of logic is always skewed towards smaller countries. Liechtenstein has a ratio of 54 medals per million people because it won 2 gold medals in the entire history of the Olympics. On the other hand, China would have to win 4000 gold medals just to be on par with the US, Britain or France.
That said, Hungary's results in the Olympics are certainly impressive. I think we (the Netherlands) have nothing to be ashamed about ourselves either

Why was East Germany the most successful team in world Olympics history, on a per capita basis? Same reason, essentially, but they took it even further.
Hungary won 25 gold medals in swimming, 19 in wrestling, 15 in gymnastics and 10 in athletics and boxing. Not exactly minor international sports. They also won more gold medals than any other country in team sports like water polo and football (soccer).
