Welcome, Hungarians!

Welcome to Voices from Main Street, Hungarians!

Hungary is known for it's many inventors. László Bíró invented the ballpoint pen, Ernő Rubik invented the Rubik's cube, and of course, Imre Krypton Electric Bulb invented the krypton electric bulb.

Sadly, Hungary has no monkeys. I'm giving them a pass, however, because they managed to cast off Soviet shackles and transform themselves into a republic with a market economy without fragmenting into a million warring villages, engaging in genocide or creating a kleptocracy. No mean feat.
