Huh! It sounds interesting. Do you think it is possible to get a copy
without risking any attempt of theirs to persuade me to join them in
their religion?

By the way 'wine-making' is rather looked upon in Hungary, because it 
implies the manipulation of the wine. I know, because my father is a 
wine *producer* himself.

My further question is: what is the local Kingdom Hall? Being in England
does it mean perhaps the hall of the Qeen's house (although she has more
than one...) Or does it refer to King Jesus' kingdom?

I also don't have the Jehovas' phone number. To compensate myself
I might buy a bottle of Chardonnay on my way home...

I've just seen the movie with the above title in which, to my surprise,
a Hungarian mafia (mob) played a somewhat important role.  

I thought this idea rather odd, considering that even the Hungarian
underworld is run by Ukrainian and Chechen gangsters.  But be that as it
may, at least in this movie the Hungarian talk sounded authentic,
obviously spoken by Hungarians.  I recall only one thing that sounded
strange to my ears.  In one of the opening scenes, the surviving
Hungarian gangster said something like "En tudom ot" insted of "En
ismerem ot."  This means "I know him" in English.  In other words, the
"know", in this case, was translated to Hungarian as "tudom",
not as "ismerem".  What I don't understand is, how come the Hungarian
actor or dubbing speaker did not notice this obvious error.  It's like
in German mixing up the words wissen and kennen.

Well, so much for my big beef tonight. ;-)  Otherwise the movie is quite
an unusual suspense, requiring a thorough concentration to understand
the finer points of the intricate plot.  I recommend it.

He lives in San Diego County. If I'm not wrong, his father was a water
polo coach and that's where vollyball comes in. I think Karch was born in
the USA and he's first generation American.

He lives in Southern California. If I'm not wrong, his father was a water
polo coach and that's where vollyball comes in. I think Karch was born in
the USA and he's first generation American.

There is an interesting article in the September 95 issue of Business 
Central Europe (published by The Economist) about some individual quality 
vintners who have emerged to meet the needs of private restaurants, wine 
merchants and foreign interests in Hungary.

The article talks about Jozsef Bock, who has a vinyard in Villany and 
makes the Bock Cuvee and the Sommelier Cuvee.  There are other vintners 
as well who make fine wines, as opposed to the more common table wines we 
are used to buying here in the US.

I wonder if anyone has information on this and other vintners.  Also, I 
wonder if there are any publications (in Hungarian or English) that carry 
articles about quality Hungarian wines.   

I would be grateful receiving your e-mail or posting.

Washington Music Ensemble Embassy Series

Friday, September 15th, 8pm
Embassy of the Republic of Hungary
3910 Shoemaker St., N.W.

Tunde Gaal, violinist
Eva Pierrou, pianist

Music of Bartok :
Rhapsody, Roumanian Folk Dances, Violin Concerto #1
and Kodaly:
Adagio and other piano works

Tickets $24.00
info/resv (202)625-2361

( As far as I understand, the Embassy is only the room
  provider. As of that, $24.00 might be a bit on the 
  expensive side, comparing to other similar concerts in 
  the DC area - taking into account the acustics of the 
  Embassy's hall )

If you think about it those hungarians who are in their sixties now were 
born and grew up during wwii, were young during the most rabid years of 
communism, lived through 1956, experienced abrief period of optimism in 
the late seventies and early eighties and are finally finding out that 
living is harder after the fall of communism than before. pensioners 
after a whole life of struggle can hardly make a living. it's enough to 
make anyone to want to commit suicide.  of course it still doesn't 
explaine why it is higher than in other east european countries. could 
it hate to do with the fact that hungarians have considered themselves 
"better" than their eastern neighbours, believing to belong to the west 
instead the east?

 I was suprised by that angle too. Adding that where was some turkish
 connection too ( The main boogie man was of a turkish extract). Is ther
 a hungarian community in Ankara? Considering that there were a foe
 of this turkish guy. This is kind of interesting cause I know that there
 was a refugee camp near Ankara, (with Hungarians in them, of course).
 Great movie !
