Bukin just made up for it
Miserable bunch? If you meet a stranger and make an eye contact, usually you smile. We don’t. It may orininate from times of communism, when you didn’t know who is the secret police and who will grass you up to the authorities for something you may not have done.
But, no, they werent you believe me...
If someone asked me whether we are non-smiling people while I was living back home, I would disagree too. You can’t see the difference until you come from a longer stay abroad. But even Hungarians are ‘miserable looking’. I noticed it when I visited Europeans a few years back.Disagree!We, Hungarians are very smiling people . We are making joke from everything.
Just remember, laughter is the best medicine for what ails ya! 
It is possible that communism were experienced differently in every communist country. It also would be different at different times, e.g.early 70s, late seventies and early 80s, late 80s... you are portraying communism as a one big party. Great fun, isn’t it! I don’t know how it was in Hungary, but in my country people just disappeared and were never seen again. People who spoke agaist the regime could not find any work, and as it was a criminal offence to be unemployed, they we forced to take a job in some coal mining despite having university education. Speaking against the regime was also dangerous if you wanted your children to go to university. One phone call could ensure that no university would accept them! Everything was centralised, so only one call... The only holiday abroad my family was allowed was to Romania and East Germany. My father was in army, so they considered it a risk to allow us to see most countries.Oh, noooo! This wasn't true in my country! The Hungarians were the most happiest in that era. No one cared about the secret police in 70's 80's! Many times we criticised openly the leaders. There were humorists who criticised the state, the communist leaders openly in the TV, radio. We call it political cabaret. There was secret police but we didn't feel it. Mostly of the Hungarians thought we are living in a good country with good leaders. But after the regime has changed and many people started to forget everything and started to say how bad era that was. They said they fought against the communist regime..they were fighters.
They really love Tessa and Scott too though: http://balletfever89.tumblr.com/post/169570176455/wanderlustinwonderland18-at-around-4030-in-thisYes, unfortunately.
I know. I hate it too. It took me ages to learn it. I am not using it in day-to-day life. Only when I am making fun of it. It is also used when meeting friends/acquaintances. At first I thought that you must have a very, very close relationship with those people if you are soooo happy to see them, and only later I realised that it is just a thing people do without thinking. Like asking ‘how are you’ when you don’t really want to hear the truthful asnwer.
Or using it as it is meant -- as in "hello" -- instead of literally.
That /\ /\ ! My take on Hungary is, first of all, friendliness and communication varies from large cities to small towns/rural areas, but Hungarians are more open to communication.
and on that note, go Sarolta! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLtME4p56Q

Over all, people on the streets go about their business, normal faces and the shortages like in USSR and other places did not happen.

But in general they are more geared towards contact and communicating, and rather have fun with it, than "try to avoid it"..

Even militzia and shop girls were nicer than in other soviet places...

Zalatnai Sarolta was our first sex ideal in 60's. One of the Gibb brothers ( Bee Gees ) wanted to marry her.
