Your Hungarian history lesson
I was on YouTube looking for something entirely different when I stumbled upon this. It's a little long, but the first few minutes are definitely worth it. It's footage from the failed revolution against the Communist government in 1956. Basically, the Hungarian people put up such an unexpectedly strong fight that the Russians agreed to leave peacefully-- then additional forces came back in the middle of the night to completely destroy the city. Sad.
In other, less note-worthy news, my sore throat of this morning has turned into laryngitis. That means Hungarian class should be really fun tomorrow!

The people who made the movie about the '56 Revolution certainly studied this footage!
A sad story, isn't it?
But they've rebuilt the city beautifully!!
