Why Hungary?

One of the first questions most international students (at least those that go off the beaten path) get is, "Why _insert_country_ ?" I got asked, "Why Norway?" even by the Norwegians! =) So, I met Chris Hayes in Berlin (photos) at the AID conference there. He is spending one year experiencing life in Hungary as a complete culture shock (he didn't speak any Hungarian, his host family didn't speak any English) and blogging about it -- check out: whyhungary.typepad.com to learn more about his experiences. It's fascinating!
