Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
HUNGARY
1. They’ve won more than 465 Olympic medals
Did you know that Hungary has won the second most gold medals in the Olympic summer games of all countries per capita? They’ve won gold medals in every Olympics they’ve competed in.
And what makes it an even more interesting is the fact that Hungary was banned from the Olympic games 1920 and joined the Soviet-led boycott of the summer Olympics 1984.
2. It is considered rude to clink your beer glasses
According to the legend, when the 1848 Hungarian revolution against the Habsburgs was defeated, 13 Hungarian generals were executed, with the Austrians clinking their beer glasses after each execution.
After this, Hungarians vowed to not cheer with the beer for 150 years. That time has passed, but it’s still a custom.
3. The Hungarian language is truly unique
The Hungarian language is said to be the hardest language to learn, and that might be true, especially in Europe as there is no other language that is like it. The main reason for this is because the language originates from the steppe of Central Asia and the ancestors of the Magyar tribes who founded Hungary.
Back in 1988, shortly before the fall of communism in 1989, Mcdonald’s became the first foreign fast-food restaurant that established themselves in the country. However, it wasn’t the first fast-food restaurant in the country because there was also a local fast-food chain called city grill and another one called the paprika.
5. It is one of the oldest countries in Europe
Hungary was founded back in 895, which means it’s older than countries like France and Germany.
and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
