"A really small country with really nice people."
This quote is from Dalma Kiss, the exchange student from Budapest, Hungary that our club is sponsoring this year. We are lucky to clearly have one of the nicest Hungarians in Dalma! She did an incredible presentation for us today followed by an extended Q&A which provided us with great insights into her home country and city.
Hungary, with a population of 9.8M people is smaller in size than New York State with just a fraction of the people. The language is quite difficult to learn, given the alphabet has 44 letters.
Hungarians invented Vitamin C, the ballpoint pen, Rubic's Cube and matches among other things. Lake Balaton is there and is the largest lake in Central Europe.
Hungary is part of the European Union. Dalma described different cuisines - all of which look and sounds delicious. Budapest, her home city, has 2.5M people.
In addition to educating us about Hungary, Dalma shared that she has two sisters, one older and one younger, and she enjoys playing and watching basketball, listening to music, including TwentyOne Pilots, and she is an excellent artist.
Thank You, Dalma, for your very poised and well-prepared presentation.
