Here in Hungary rumour had it that Turkish ppl think of us as brother-nations since these two lived together for 160years. Still, they way the empire “visited” us wasn’t quite friendly at first.
Obviously Hungarians yealded much from this co-exsistence (beautiful buildings, language, alphabet). Today these years (1526-1686) are mentioned as “Turkish-times” not occupation.
Yet another oppinion, not willing to change the history
And I also hope that Jeff enjoyed it here as he seemed to.
Cheers

Hello Jeff,
Unfortunatly you are saying under the mosque picture that was about ‘Turkish Occupation’ Years.. Hmm maybe nobody tells you Turkish Ottamans was an empire that lasted more than 600 years. So this is even more than the USA current history.
Summary my friend this is not an occupation. This is about a history about the other side of this well-done west side printed history. I hope this will be considered a positive walue–added information
Thanks

In America we read all the time about the large numbers of muslems in Europe and ask you if thoses you run across are friendly to you.

Well, the cruise was booked through a travel agency. Anybody can do that. Here in Hungary I’m staying with friends, who are also my tour guides.

It’s sad that I was born and raised in Europe and haven’t seen the things you have in just 16 days so far.
What kind of a trip is this? I mean, can you provide some info on the Travel Agency? Now that I live in L.A. I’d love to get away from the traffic and see something this beautiful.
