Happy New Year! Boldog Új Évet!

I wish all of you a happier new year! I hope you will visit Hungary this year so your life indeed will be happier than the previous one! In this period of the year you can find pigs and chimney-sweepers on Hungarian postcards to invocate a wealthy and lucky year. Special greetings to Rachel in Spain!
