We're in Budapest for the past 7 years.
PLUS:
Pretty cheap, ie 100m2 flat in the center, rental around $500p/m. To buy would be around $150,000 (and you can get a UK morgage!).
Bills for the above around $130p/m.
Lots of stuff happening in the Summer.
Location wise very Euro-centric, with cheap flights to any European city via Easyjet et al.
No possibility of joining the Euro for eons, and with a falling local currancy, if you're paid $ or GBP, you just get progressively better off.
Great looking babes...like eye popping!
Porn an acceptable trade.
MINUS:
Winter stinks...grey weather, grey peeps and grey attitude ( and ex-Socialist grey to boot!).
Pain in the ass to do anything through the 'legal' channels'. Best to be like us, offshore.
Language is a real toughy, Hungaian is one of the worlds unique minority languages.
'Get rich quick' culture means it hard to find trustworthy or even hard working peeps. We shoot our own content and the number of agents who swear blind that this or that girl has never worked before...only for us to see her all over the web...the same day!
Schooling your 2 children will be around $1600 p/m, as there are only private English schools.
I like to judge a culture by how they behave when drunk. Having lived for more than 10 years in Barcelona, when they drink, they sing, cry or sleep. Together. Here in Budapest, when drunk they try to commit suicide (one of the highest rates in the world) or just sit at home. Alone. Take your pick.
