Posted July 26, 201410 yr Greetings to all! After seeing the great „50 states in lego form” project, I decided to make one for my country, Hungary, with the 19 counties we have. I wanted only to share it on Hungarian forums, since many of the references I made are not even possible to explain for “outsiders”. But the teaser photo I uploaded was spotted by Eurobrick member Kristel, so the cat was out of the bag and I decided to post here those counties that I have a chance to explain. Those are mainly cover Hungarian traditions. The post have several links to show, what I am talking about J I hope you enjoy! Bács-Kiskun There are sand dunes in Hungary. Baranya Young men of Mohács dressed as Busó (with a wooden mask and sheep-fur coat) suppose to scare away winter at springtime. But they scare even those who are scary themselves! Békés The famous sausage of the town of Gyula. But you have to fight for it! Csongrád „You don’t need that much paprika into the fish-soup!” Győr-Moson-Sopron The quarries of Fertőrákos are visited not only by tourists... Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok The Great Plain of Hungary. Komárom-Esztergom „I guess we are at the wrong track, sir” – Bábolna horse breeding Nógrád “I can’t believe there’s a heat wave in Budapest.” Zabar, the village with the most lowest temperature record in the country. Somogy Balaton, the “sea” of Hungary. Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg Hard choice after harvesting plums. Marmalade or pálinka liquor? Tolna The forest of Gemenc. Vas Small villages in the area, close to each other.
July 27, 201410 yr These turned out great!! My favourite scenes are the great plains, Zabar and Balaton ones. I would never have guessed there were sand dunes in Hungary.
July 27, 201410 yr The scene of Nograd is hilarious! I live in Northeast Ohio where Lake Effect weather causes snow, but my friend 2 hours away in Columbus calls to make fun that he's outside in shorts playing at the park with his kids.
October 29, 20159 yr As a Hungarian I really appreciate the look of the paprika and the busó masks! Great ideas! If you don't have anything for Budapest, may I suggest chess players in Szécheny bath? Edited October 29, 20159 yr by aakos12
