I must admit I had some pretty preconceived notions of what I expected some other countries to be like. In the past few years I was able to travel to Budapest and Prague, and I was surprised at what I saw. I thought I was traveling "behind the iron curtain". And what I found was.... Not really much different from what we have in the United States. I half expected to walk into stores and see shelves "mostly empty" and I saw just the opposite.
