Just rubbing it in CI? Been 12 years since I was in Hungary, lovely place.
Hi Mr Still, I was last in Hungary in September 1994 when I did a tour of Eastern Europe.
Two business trips to Hungary last year, but I did manage to get in a half day of walking around Budapest.
Have a great time and send us a postcard.
I wonder if I should post my itenerary for my forthcoming trip to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota.
gus, Don't forget the trip to the outhouse. Does the door have a moon hole?

No, but Gus got corn-holed last time.
My, that Mr. Stillwater has a razor-sharp wit! I am falling off my chair.
Corn-holed! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Whew..... funny stuff.
I've never been to Hungary...
and don't look like going any time soon
Please post pictures, CI.
InfraBlue, Will do. Yours is the second request.
We spend a week in Budapest six or seven years ago. The only problem was that it was the last week in November, and the weather reminded me of Chicago that time of year. Otherwise, we had a great time. I bet it must be a beautiful city in the late spring or early summer.
C.I. don't forget to demand fish-paprikash and Ilocki traminac
And I hope you'll have some time to spend in Novi Sad as well - it's a beautiful city
gustav : i hope they have a two-holer; so much more entertaining to have a companion when one has all the time in the world to contemplate the more important things in one's life. here in ontario the finer places have some very nice and comfortable two-holers. hbg ... gustav : let them laugh as much they want, a two-holer is still quite a sign of sophistication(at least here in ontario) !
hbg, Japan must really be advanced, because many public toilets has both men and women in the same section or with partitions open at the top.
Okay, who farted?
c.i. : one of the funniest ads i ever saw was for a japanese brand of soap (i think the show was called "funniest tv-ads of the world"). there were about a dozen little boys sitting ina bathttub washing each others back; suddenly bubbles were coming up from the water and there was a faint "pffft" - the boys all started laughing and pointing at each other.i haven't laughed so much in a long time! btw. in germany you can find -again - some of those famous "pissoirs" that only have a partition slightly higher than one's waist. they had one in berlin where we visited last year and i did feel just alittle bashful using it. but when you gotta go, you gotta go ! hbg ...still somewhat better than a twoholer IMO. hbg
I used it without any shame; like you say, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go - that's nature call'n.
