@earlflynn - I met three Belgians in Budapest, while I was with an American friend (airline hostess) and they were buying used fashion to sell in Belgium.
One of the Belgians saw an angelic stunning Hungarian lady, and tried to talk to her. She said in broken English that she wasn't able to understand English.
With that the fellow told her he was in love with her, and she was the love of his life. After she was out of earshot, we all laughed at his crazy actions.
The cost of living at the time was one of the cheapest in Europe, I ate great food at great prices.
