Americans React to Geography Now Hungary!

Geography now hungry I bet you you’ve never heard this joke before but oh man I’m starving maybe we’ll find some good Hungarian foods to eat in this video because I’m hungry yeah let’s check this out we been going to countries across Europe to do geography Nows I mean I’ve been to

Europe for a while I’ve never been to Hungary though seems like a very very interesting country because it’s kind of mashed into Central Europe so it’s I’m sure has influen of a lot of different cultures and possibly one of the most unique Lang in the world I mean it used

To be an Empire at one point it was I mean so much stuff goes on in Hungary and I want to go check it out Budapest is supposed to be amazing yes I’ve heard that so will we check it out soon maybe maybe we’ll see we’re in Asia yeah and

If you want to check out our travel Vlogs around Asia and we did a few Vlogs in Iceland Italy and Poland you can check it out Link in the description below and in the pin comment travel it’s fun but now let’s see what barbs has got

In store for Hungry Come on Barbie have you ever had a strange neighbor that moved into your block with no relatives around had a weird accent and had weird decorations posted all over their yard yeah that’s basically Hungary no it’s time to learn geogy is that is

That what happens to people that live in California they just have like random people moving next door that speak a weird language I would guess it’s very common to have a very weird neighbor in a California neighborhood not that uh if you speak have a Hungarian accent you’re weird no

We just uh more referring to his original yeah everybody say hi to my friend Nick you may have recognized him as the Charming scientist from America’s Got Talent say hi Nick what’s up team hey so I knew Nick before all that stuff and I collabed with him on his YouTube

Channel nickipedia a while back check it out subscribe to his channel if you want the video we did was really good it was like micro to macro it was a really sciency concept I I thought it turned out great so the cool thing is Nick is actually part Hungarian he’s super proud

Of it he’s been to Hungary so today he’s going to co-host with me question is there anything that I should know before we start yeah basically just don’t be more likable than me or have better abs and you’ll be fine oh hey Nick yeah Hungary is so Eastern

European isn’t it yeah they hate it when you say that and actually Hungary is a landlocked country located in Central Europe surrounded by seven countries the nation is divided into 19 in Central Europe I feel like every country is just going to actually hung is a land the

More this way you go the more the eventually bellus is going to be like no we’re not Eastern Russia’s East yeah I mean like I in the beginning I clarified I said Central Europe but I mean why does everyone hate being Eastern European what’s wrong with being Eastern

European I don’t know un locked country located in Central Europe surrounded by seven countries the nation is divided into 19 counties whereas the capital Budapest acts as a separate administrative entity like up 19 they got Budapest but you take off the boob then you just got pest the capital buap

You’re welcome for pointing out that amazing information as a separate administrative entity the largest cities are of course Budapest de bredon and zig however the busiest airports areon and guper international whoa you totally just took the animation narration yes yes it did I like this guy

Now you know me I love border disputes anomalies and territorial confusion and although today Hungary actually doesn’t really have any of those the interesting thing is that hungarians like to claim that they are surrounded by themselves due to the fact that there are high concentrated areas of hungarians that

Live outside of Hungary and neighboring Nations this is because before World War I Hungary was like a lot bigger and had a kingdom that spanned all the way from the Croatian Coast to a large chunk of what is now Western Romania after I know a lot of the cities around the borders

Are very Hungarian influenced like they look a little bit different for like a Romanian City or whatever World War One the Treaty of tranon cut up over 70% of the land previously held by Hungary and seeded it to its neighboring states which effectively cut off about a third

Of ethnic hungarians still living in those areas some of the largest concentrations are found in what is today the southern regions of Slovakia and CK peoples in the central Transylvania regions of Romania by the way Nick fun side note the comedian Louis CK is actually part Hungarian but

The CK part isn’t his initials but the pronunciation derived from c i get it otherwise the country is teeming with notable sites and landmarks such as St Stevens Basilica there’s also Buddha castle and the vizgard royal castle yosar and eager Castle the tomb of ghoul Baba momento Park the cave Church The

Citadel The Budapest time wheel the bod floating houses the gurum ancient ruins and the country’s most iconic building the Hungarian Parliament you been Hungary what do you recommend definitely go to the geothermal bass geothermal B I knew he was going to say bath house speaking of geothermal activity the more we progress through

This episode the more you’re going to kind of see how incredibly distinct and set apart Hungary is from the rest of Europe for one most of the entire country lies on the panonian Basin sometimes called the Great Hungarian plain nestled between the Carpathian Mountains and the dinic Alps and the bul

Mountains on every side pretty cut off from everybody yes I know Hungary bull the pun possibilities are endless but we don’t got time for that no puns this time lash in the bowl of hunger only about 2% of the country mostly in the north is at 300 or more meters above sea

Level and the rest is mostly flat in the largest grassland in Europe the Hort bable otherwise the two main and largest rivers the danu and the Tisa are like the lifelines of Hungary as they travel north to south just to skip away the largest lake in all of Central Europe

Lake Balaton sometimes referred to as Hungarian Sea the strange thing about Hungary though would have to be the geothermal Springs that can be found everywhere Budapest having more thermal Springs than any other capital in the world Nick you’re a sciencey type of guy tell them why there’s hot springs in

Hungary sure it’s strange because there are no direct fault lines or Rifts that pass through Hungary however the area lies on a thermal Basin not too far from the Eurasian plate that harble geothermal activity much like yone National Park in the US so is hungry a

Super vul it’s going to explode guys we need to stop hungry right now stop hungry let’s do everybody hashtag stop hungry in the comments before it destroys the entire Earth it’s a super volcano but what you’re saying Nick is you don’t need to be on a fault line to

Have geothermal activity right yes but most distant spots from activity are not too far from a fault line nonetheless it’s kind of like a volcanic blister on Earth yellow Stone’s pretty far from a fault line where’s the San Andreas Vault line in California yeah so that must be the

Relativity then Wyoming’s so far that is D I learned something otherwise the largest national park B has eroded line or is there is there another fault line that goes like by the Rocky Mountains might be a small one but I don’t know why there would be a North American Plate then yeah fault

Lines D I learned something otherwise the largest national park book has eroded Limestone cars formations and nearby just to the West you can find the tallest mountain Kish only about 1,000 M High Hungary has some of the highest quality soil in all of Europe with over

51% arable land it allows them to grow a multitude of crops their favorite one being paprika or pepper paprika although popular all over the Balkans paprika is always affiliated with hungry and Hungarian Cuisine they put it on literally everything chicken fish soup sausage even cake speaking of

Which some of the top Hungarian dishs might includ puy seed rolls stuffed cabbage and peppers L Pur cats sour cherry soup and the national dish everyone knows about gash commonly pronounced gash which I ate at every Christmas and keep in mind almost all these dishes we just mentioned have

Paprika in them uh speaking of which I was is there Paprika in the chimney cakes I haven’t tasted it are not Hungarian a little cinnamon R yeah unless you love Tudi candy bars M Tudi you love those huge fan oh okay huge confirmed so that’s that hungary’s land

Makeup now we’ve reached the most strangest and most interesting part the people hey Nick yeah hungarians are such interesting slaves aren’t they and that kids is the number one thing to avoid saying to a Hungarian first of all the country has about 10 million people and has the largest linguistically isolated

People group in Europe hey man good dude yeah never better now this is where things get a little tricky because like we said in the Czech Republic or Czech episode the Hungarian census doesn’t mandate racial identification upon registration so what the report says might be a little different from what

The actual numbers are but what it does say about 86% of the country is ethnically Hungarian somewhere around 5% are Romani or Gypsy and the rest are kind of unspecified it’s speculated though that the unspecified group is most likely made up of slovaks Romanians Germans serbs poles and why not a few

Greeks Turks Armenians and probably some more gypsies also they use the Hungarian Forin not the Euro despite being in the Euro zone They Ed the type- C outlet and they drive on the right side of the road now let’s get some stuff straight who exactly are the hungarians for one

Hungarians have roots that are technically not even originally from Europe according to Legend there were two brothers magor and hunor hunor was the father of the Huns magor was the father of the hungarians or the Moor people and they were maybe both sons of the Tower of Babel guy from The Bible

This is just what the story claims the Huns came in and took over the area in the fifth century but were eventually expelled after the Roman Empire and Germanic tribe stuff y y y the Moor tribes came in around the 9th century from what most historians speculate the

Central Asian step regions far east past the Euro Mountains in Russia It is believed they came in to reclaim the Lost land of their cousins this guy unified the tribes and thus the first Proto Hungarian state was born from Outsiders from D that’s a long time ago

That means you might have some Central Asian blood in you nice does that mean I get a free pass and make some Asian jokes you get to make light Asian jokes at the expense of your Hungarian Heritage what do you call a fifth century Central Asian guy named Gary what

Hungary after the Proto Hungarian state was established history kind of went like this Kings Christianity Mongols attack Choice Turks pburg 1848 revolution Empire with Austria World War I Treaty of Tron World War II join the axes bad idea Soviets come in and Bam Eastern BL communism 1956 Revolution Soviets retaliate bam soft communism

1980 end of Communism and finally the EU done the Hungarian language is strange the only two relatives that exist are the hunti and man languages found the Hunty Monty aamus okrug far east past theal mountains in Russia now because this place was the birthplace of all uralic languages that means it’s

Possible that the fins and estonians might be far off distant cousins of the hungarians but it’s so far off and removed that it’s kind crazy that they ended up all the way in Europe from over there that long ago they’re just like let’s just go I mean there is a lot of

Flat but there’s also mountains in between there it’s not an easy Journey my God they were determined distant cousins of the hungarians but it’s so far off that it’s kind of like that one black guy that shows up at your family reunion that you have no idea how you’re

Related to I actually have two of those what up Charlie and Andre eventually the people developed Hungarian turanism in the 19th and 20th centuries as a counter movement against the domineering pan German and pan slav cultures or just Europeans in general that surrounded them it all had to do with embracing

Their identity that tied them with Central Asia they take it pretty seriously some places even used the ancient Hungarian robas or runic script on City Billboards in 2007 they even started the crel tie an event that invades Central Asian step nomadic peoples in the first week of August with

The intention to buy en closer with their far off distant cultural relatives people from Mongolia to usbekistan even South that’s that’s an interesting thing I should point out that uh a lot of Europeans get really angry when uh Americans say like this guy oh I’m part Hungarian Hungarian I’m part German

They’re like no you’re not they get especially angry once you’re like part like 10 different things yeah like oh I’m 10% Hungarian then they’ll be very angry but then Hungary over here is uh going back to oh I’m part Central Asian yeah I don’t maybe hungar maybe it’s

Just Germans are really angry about that Germans are angry about a lot of things yeah I mean I guess hungry hungry you guys were on their side in the bad situation do you guys have free water and hungry at restaurants is slight in Germany far off distant cultural relatives people from

Mongolia to usbekistan even South Korea show up every year and participate otherwise Hungarian culture in itself today is saturated with unique customs and tradition there are too many to mention but some Universal ones include splashing women with water on Easter Monday or how on St Nicholas Day kids

Put out their boots to get gifts or how they throw lentils at each other on New Year’s don’t forget the bu mask festival or how a bride will get kidnapped at her wedding and the groom has to perform a task to get her back the kid so

Beautiful yeah just wait till we get to the Kuran episode one sport hungarians love is water polo they have the best performance at the world water polo cup even though they are landlocked they are amazing amazing in the water we’re like ducks music has always played a huge

Role in Hungary since classic times to the modern cagette Festival one of the largest and most popular in all of Europe otherwise some notable people of Hungarian descent might include people like rubic nno Victor Orban bero laslo Robert Kappa Harry Houdini John ven noyman Maria turus Jaa Gabor Bella

Lugosi although the Romanians might claim him too as well as numerous scientists artists musicians and athletes scientists right here scientist all right ready to close this down with one more segment let’s do it the friend zone are they still friends with Austria let’s see now Hungary might have an

Isolated culture but definitely not an isolated social status definitely a popular kid yeah first of all they like to call Austria their brother-in-law because even though things got ugly a few times and yes the hapsburgs did try to kind of germanize them so much history and cooperation hsur that’s such

A weird thing that’s just like the family that just like IM breeded all over Europe that’s so so weird hearing about like watching videos about that that’s just so weird so you’re saying inbreeding equals power yeah I mean those those royal families in Europe were pretty messed up Hillbillies at the

End there has link these two they even teamed up and opened their borders to East Germany to help the people escape to the West Side during Cold War times now despite the ottoman times turkeyy is actually kind of the wildc card friend that you wouldn’t expect not only because they have distant technical

Ancestral lines but turkey also left its Mark by leaving various historical sites and buildings in Hungary they also take part in the acur Thai and trade is cordial Finland and Estonia are kind of like the new curious I guess maybe were related cousins they never really thought about each other until just a

Few centuries ago they encounter maybe once a year and just kind of Nod with a small smirk when they’re in the presence of each other now when it comes to their best friend Nick I’ve heard a lot of things from other hungarians who do you think is the best friend of Hungary

Paprika countryes oh Poland yes they even have a Polish hungan Shing Friendship Day on March 23rd both countries have shared ties since the Middle Ages their rulers often intermarried and exchanged headship they fought numerous battles together side by side hillbilly inbreeding lots of hillbilly in breeding supported each

Other rich hillbill is though that explains why water isn’t free revolutions struggled together under Soviets and came out together don’t worry we know Healthcare isn’t free in America you don’t have to comment it closer than ever in conclusion pretty much all of Europe has some kind of

Consistency in terms of land regions and people groups but then you get this strange geothermal Basin with Central Asian descended weird talking people that kind of just came out of nowhere would eventually build an identity and story that would last Through the Ages stay tuned Iceland is coming up next

Iceland eand all right shoot let’s get some lunch all right you hungry we already made that joke we’re way ahead of you all right time to react to geography now turkey where we’re going to make a a joke about turkeys turkey Hungary is an interesting place

Uh I mean I don’t know a ton about it it’s always been a place I’ve been like oh it’d be cool to go to Hungary the closest I’ve been is Slovenia I guess wiir they probably got some cheap flights they’re a Hungarian Airline aren’t they I thought I think so I think

There is cheap flights to Budapest like all the time on wiiz a guys wizer owes me €400 in compensation from a flight that they overbooked eight months ago and I can’t claim it they keep saying they’re going to send it and I can’t get it someone help me please do somebody

Have a a Hungarian phone that they can call Wiz there on our behalf I get our $400 thank you so much we’ll send you our bank account info so you can have a tend to Hungary looks like a really cool place I mean their history is just so

Interesting too because it’s it’s so like intertwined with all the like uh European history they’re always just there Central Europe especially getting smacked around not necess smacked around they had their own Empire for a while but just all the different influences coalescing in there I mean it’s crazy

The Romans the all those Central Asian like hordes and stuff came in the Ottomans came up in that area it’s pretty crazy that history all those that Central Europe and that Balkan area is just so interesting but uh yeah we learned a lot about Hungary and

Now didn’t even have to say anything I think you know what I was going to say I’m hungry thanks for watching Everybody hopefully you enjoyed we’ll see you in the next one bye hi

  1. Countries that are not Eastern European hate that they are being called Eastern European because well… they are not Eastern European
    it's literally that simple

  2. Can confirm there is no paprika in chimney cake, and whoever eats paprika with cake, as a fellow hungarian, I'd very much like to meet them… 😀
    Also tap water is indeed free in restaurants, baring extremely posh ones I guess.
