In a way I miss Hungary quite a bit and perhaps I should not have left, but what is done is done (and I am not unhappy in Turkey at all).

I think it is easy (as EU (Dutch passport holders)) to come back.

What I miss from Hungary

-Quiet (of course I do not even consider living in Budapest and alike)

-The friendly people (much more than in for example The Netherlands)

-Flexibilty (if paid for), home delivery of meat and wine (and whisky) during Covid was a good discovery

-Friendly neighbours (but I suppose that is luck)

-I play chess and the local club welcomed me and my wife with compassion and love (even Chrismas and Easter cards)

-Bureaucracy is easy (even if people complain)

-Virtually no crime (in smaller towns and villages)

-Still cheap (even if people complain)

-... many more postive things to address

Negative

-Language I manage to say Jonapot

-Lack of (good) restaurants

-In our case the garden was far too big

-Public transport

-....

Where I now live (Turkey) there are also drawbacks

Positive

-Cheaper even more than Hungary

-Restaurants around (many)

-Supermarkets (in walking distance (for my wife as I have some difficulties)

-Cigarettes are VERY cheap

-Quiet (even if only 240 m from the beach)

-Internet is fine and honestly good

-...

Negative

-Bureaucracy, rules change every single month

-We bought a duplex (big mistake as my legs are not working properly (at the time we bought they did))

-People are too commercial (Restaurants, hospital, ...)

-In winter there is a lot of rain (perhaps you can see in our area (Alanya) there is more rain the year then in Hungary (but in summer san be really hot though)
