Sziasztok! For all the Magyars watching, I know Hungary is geographically in Central-Europe. 😄
But I think that people generally tend to divide Europe into two parts, East & West. I guess it's more the difference in "culture" rather than the geographical location. So that's why I called it East-Europe.
I don't mean any insult. You are all great! 🇭🇺❤
So called Insta or You tube ‘Star’ you’re a MUPPET you little grass ...find out where actually Hungary located first than spout bs on UA-cam..should’ve started first when Hungary was an apostolic Catholic Kingdom Nederland was still below see level not with this east west bs ... hopp on ur bike and ride quickly back to Belgian where ever you coming from DH...
Maar ik denk dat het een beetje ignorant is. Europa is veel meerkleurig dan een Oost en West verdeling. Er zijn enorm grote verschillen tussen Midden- en Oost-Europa. Dus vooral als een West-Europeaan die in Hongarije woont heb je een zeer goede kans om de misverstanden over Midden-Europa dudelijk te kunnen maken en Nederlanders (en andere mensen in West-Europa) informeren :) Veel plezier in Boedapest, ik hoop dat je van het leven daar kan genieten :)
Haha, yeah Hungarians will never shut up about being "central Europe". This is because we do not want to be in the same group as the rest of Eastern Europe, but let's face it, we are more and more Eastern every day. :/
Szereted a magyar nyelvet? Én magyar vagyok, You love Hungary? Me hungary
@BlueTrack Edm That video you linked is inaccurate in a lot of things.
I think u haven't been in Lidl. They know speed xD
and Im sure he wasnt on holiday in Greece... :D but maybe things changed there too
no its the same slow bullshit story
Yes, in Lidl they are crazy...
I whouldn't care the speed if there is place for items... but no there is no place!
& Aldi , they're quick as hell for that extra buck 😂German companies tend to give a much higher wage for cashier's/supervisors there.
Yesss! I lived in Gödöllő for 6 years and I can almost guarantee that the fastest Lild cashier is working there. I could barely see his hands. It was like a 10x speed up on a video. I couldn't even take a breath while he finished with all the stuff that I bought.
Favorit things about Hungarian cashiers.
Cashier1: *doing her job*
Cashier2: MARIKAAA! WHAT IS THE CODE OF THIS? *shaking some dread to the air*
Cashier1: IDK. ASK PISTA
Cashier2: HEY! PISTA. WHAT IS THE CODE OF THIS?
And you can hear this from the back of the store.
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
I live in Canada now, but yo that thing is soooooo Hungarian
Another version of this.
Cashier 1: WHAT IS THE CODE OF THIS?
Cashier 2: They changed it/that's a new item/it's in the booklet elsewhere on page XY.
Cashier 1: Oh, you're right. *initiates small-talk with the customer to hide the awkwardness*
Gondolom anyád meg a húgod is pénztáros egy 'vegyesbótban. És te is. Ez másként ez nem is lehet.
Or cashier: "oh, what kind of apple is this, you know? Could you say how much is?" Of course... 🤦
When I was in Hungary, I was corrected its "Central" not "Eastern" Europe
For years ago we did talk about west and east Europe. Because of the wall. that seems to be in our bones, because a lot still talk about eastern Europe if they talk about Czechiën and slovakia Hungary But you right it is central europe. East Europe is Ukraine, Belarus and a part from Russia.
@Z.K. I saw British documentary about Prague from 30s (it was somewhere on youtube) and they were calling us central europe, bridge between west and east. So I can confirm, calling our region eastern europe is just product of cold war.
When you found out how much you can earn at BP, you could understand why a Hungarian cashier (who probably earn less) is ill motivated😅😢
Business is business, if she/he doesn’t like her salary/job it is not my problem. Then improve the skils and find a better job. That cannot be an excuse.
@@northy_northie you did not live in communism that is 100% sure ....
Actually the job you turned down at BP is probably a job that pays more than the salary of 2/3 of Hungarians.

I always like to hear foreigners are living in Hungary talking about their experiences. It gives some other perspective. Thank :). The cashier thing is funny because it's true :D. However Lidl and Aldi have change the game and you can't be fast enough to put your stuff in your bag at their places, but in a regular Hungarian grocery you definitely have the chance to chill at the cashier :D
They pay more for the cashiers and they hire enough staff, but the average Hungarian is underpayed and overworked.
Ridita you got the point here.
I think the main reason is NOT a chilled state of mind but the lack of dignity at work.
Hi I'm Hungarian (Magyar)
Hi! Im a hungarian living in the Netherlands and this cashier thing at first site I would say its not true, but then I think myself here in lidl to pack your shopping as fast as the cashier scans it. Man that is an actual sport and many times i complained about it. Now I take it as fun and a sport…we do it together with my girlfriend then we match the speed!:)
Nice Video, but Hungarians hate when you say Eastern Europe... It's Central Europe.. Facts 😊✌️
No is not!
Yes, it is central Europe. Geography. East Europe starts with Romania. And the others….
@@andrhorvath7464 Well, we must say that we are on the edge of Eastern Europe.
Igen
I think it's totally Eastern European economically, politically. There is only west and East. By the way Europe is wilder than we imagine, Russia, Belorussia, even Kazahstan, Georgia. For us it's hardly Europe.
Haha, so funny. As a Hungarian living at the Netherlands, the speedness of cashiers is so stressfull for me. :D Yeah and it's difficult to get used to the rainy days.
Im a Hungarian in The Netherland and thats is true about the cashiers but in the construction sites they can be really lame and slow. They are there for 7-9 hours a day but the usefull part its in it maybe a half day. Drinking watered coffe all day. smoking cigarets every 10 minutes and talking, talking talking.
But they are a really nice poeple i like them

My favorite story about cashiers is when in a grocery shop I wanted to buy a new durable shopping bag but the cashier didn't have it. So she called out to her colleague 5 meters away: "Marika! Do we have any homeless bags left?" It was hilarious.
😂😂😂I love that! Thank you for sharing.
Yeah, woven polypropylene bags with hemp rope handles were called hajléktalanszatyor.
@@atdzsny I guess so.
Hahaha NY cashiers don’t even finish scan your items they rush you out and you end up in jail few minutes later 😂😂
I have a good friend whom visited me often in Hungary. He was from Limburg which is a quite different region from the rest of the NL. He always says Hungarians are quite rude, because we don’t greet everyone on the street and we don’t really shake hands with unknowns 😂 He also said we are paranoid about spies, wars, political crisis etc (I have to agree with him on that, but that’s because of our difficult history) and that everyone is kind of too private (you don’t get a chance to see into a house and often not even into the garden for example). And that we love to complain and speak about our history and culture!! That’s very true 😂😊
Now, when I went to Limburg (I’ve been there at least 10-12 times for small-long holidays) I found many things strange. Like, they go out to eat soooo often, they drive many kilometres sometimes only to sit on a terrasse in Walkenburg for a drink and they are too curious about people (they have this weird thing to look out their window very suspiciously when someone happens to cross nearby) 😂 I also recall the strange little mirrors in Amsterdam. People fix little mirrors in such a way, that they can see from their window whom is on the street. So it was very funny.
I don’t particularly like Western Europe, although I live in different western countries since 5 years, but Limburg is really my favourite 😊😉
Hungary is not in Eastern Europe. It's in Central Europe!
Nice video, but Hungary is in Middle Europe!
@@RafRasenberg Central Europe is a common distinction and it tends to be applied to the area between germany and Belarus.
Basically the historical borders of the USSR/Russian Empire.
And there is quiet a cultural distinction.
@BlueTrack Edm Can you not read?
Geographically speaking Hungary might be in eastern-central europe but culturally it's totally an eastern european country without a shadow of a doubt. I know many people in Hungary like to think we are closer to the west than we actually are. In fact, quite the opposite is true, we are fairly different from the west in terms of values, attitudes, approach to life etc.. (based on my experience).. Which is ok, no shame in that.. But the problem is that we hungarians all too often take offense when foreigners call us "eastern european" when in fact that is quite true. We are so insecure, it's insane. As a nation we are full of inferior complexity I guess. We should instead be proud of who we are and don't give a damn about what the rest of the world think of us or whether "eastern europe" has negative connotations or not.. Peace!
@@maximmaximus6604 I disagree. Hungary is indeed queit unlike the west, but it is also drastically different from the soviet successor states.
Central europe might well be a useful distinction to describe this.
"middle" LMAO no its called CENTRAL
As a Hungarian who moved to the Netherlands, it's fun to hear the other side of the story. I really miss the sunny days and nature from Hungary (hopefully I can come back quite often), but my salary is like five times higher in the NL
How do you feel about the taxes you pay here, I think the coming demographics crisis will likely cause tax to rise even more, and I'm not going to pay for al the baby boomers who are retiring, so I'll be immigrating when the ship sinks.
@@d.d.h6749 taxes are high everywhere in europe, except tax paradises
@@Pidalin They are particularly high in the Netherlands though .Something like 50% taken out of your wage packet .After that high fuel prices etc .Only thing cheap in NL is Cigars and rolling Tobacco and take away beer .
Well in Netherlands things are most expensive in almost all of Europe! So yeah salary is higher but it goes right into pockets of goverment and taxoffice. Self preservation in Hungary is best. Why work like an idiot until 67 years of age which is a mandatory age for retirement pension and then die of heart attack soon after from stressfull jobs in the past running around like the Dutch chickens or example cashiers or even business men driving all day to clients with 1000 phone calls and reports per day.....why people are like rubber balls hopping around like lunatics? Just sell your house in Netherlands and move to Hungary to be happy not living in the fast lane to impress everybody around you how succesfull you are. They will not be crying at your funeral or will we be mentioned in history books like we changed the world so much ......bc world is changing but only in worse way. In Hungary they just don't give a damn and just happy with simple small things.
@@d.d.h6749yep. Agree 100%
I'm a preschool teacher..I wish I could earn 1500 Ft/hour... 😭😭

Theese are all true btw! XDD
Hahaha very funny! South African cashier's exactly the same! "Line gets longer... let me go on lunch.."
Soooo true😂😂😂😂
@Hungary #1 it is true and maybe you are a bit racist.
Hey Raf, I enjoyed your video. I live in a 100K+ pop. city in Hungary. But the cashiers at one of the stores are faster than lightspeed while at some others are much slower. Big big difference. So I guess it is not about the mentality. You should choose an other supermarket! :) Hungarians are kinda yanks in Europe so speaking about salaries is a common thing. I wish you a prosperous staying/living in HU, I bet this is one of the safest places near and far. Take care.
Lol i hope you can make money here.
Raf, if you want to see East yourop, you have to visit Ukraine Blorussia or Russia
You will see how different are those places from Western or CENTRAL Europe...
75 years blockade by USA and EU makes counrty's different.......
a relaxed approach to everything? :O as a Hungarian, I think we're a fairly uptight bunch lol
Hungarian kids learn in school the difference between a country next to the sea and a country far from the sea side... so they just don't get surprised if there is too much rain somewhere else
Good video, thanks for sharing your experience. You had me laughing a good bit with your video editing and the cashier comparison.
*"I believe the lowest teperature was -8 C°"* vs *Hungarians when the temperature hit -25 C°* = OwO = *(as a hungarian)*
And the hottest is 60 C°"
Ez amúgy is gagyi egy video teli hazugsággal.
2:01 Szakadok😂 magyarok🙋♀️
Thanks for the nice comments. In fact, most cashiers are really fast in supermarkets. I lived in the Netherlands for 6 months many years ago. What was surprising me, was that almost no shops were open at the weekends. Another difference: the majority of married women do not work - there were no nurseries, kindergartens or afternoon schools... And there was a surpisingly big difference between people from the north and the south. My experience was that when it did not rain for 2 weeks, people were quite sad... Yes, I liked that everything functioned precisely - e.g. trains - not like in Hungary...
Try the spas and thermal baths - this is a specialty of Hungary. 😊
Actually the last couple winters have been pretty mild. But usually we get down to -15c as a minimum in most winters, and you should put antifreeze in your car for -25c at least since we get -20 sometimes. Although not for long.
The chasiers in hungary are very fast XD (I don’t know where did you buy your products) but when I shopping I can’t even put my stuff in my bag because of the fast movements of the chasier. From my side this is the problem XD
100th comment! I loved this video, and the quality improved a lot in the last ones!
Is it true that dutch language has originated in the second world war when a drunk german soldier tried to speak English? ;)
They wished 😂
Not quite; in fact, drunken English sailors, in a French port pub, tried to speak German ... That's how the Dutch language came about ...
Funny but no
It’ll be nice if you talk more about working conditions in hungary and chances of getting hired as an expat etc, also life in hungary compared to that of netherlands
If you can speak German or French (always + English), you should always be able to get a job in a call centre.
It is not the best paying job and some of them are quite stressful, but at least you have stable employment from where you can look for better jobs without having to worry about money.
There are also more niche opportunities for other languages, so if you can speak English + another language you always are in advantage.
Other then that the Automotive Industry is very big in Hungary, tho I have no Idea how the employment opportunities in that sector is if you can't speak Hungarian.
Not Your business Thank you for the information. And how available are part time jobs at cafes etc for expat students
@@farhanfazni5460 Unfortunately I have no Idea and considering the recent corona crisis, I guess the job market for job seekers in that area will be more competitive, at least until next year.
Working chances are zero for non-Europeans :D :P
I Am Hungarian who I live in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
For me is the Dutch language is not easy but I bet for you the Hungarian is even harder (has no any similarities with any language )
I hope you enjoy Hungary
Hungarian is the hardest language to learn.
@@elizabethdombi4838 Chinese or Arabic are harder ;)
We are still in central Europe...not Eastern...
still eastern block bro, don't try to hide it :))
Yeah, about that salary....
As a medical resident you can expect 2kFt/h as your starting salary.
An untrained part time job will be at best half that.
Hungary looks and sound beautiful and so culturally rich. My only restriction is that unlike the gentleman, I would not rejoice in the lack of rain. I live in Florida, which in the winter is very dry. It hardly ever rains. Every day, it is the same weather, all the time. You end up missing other daylights, and the sound of the rain in nature. Maybe it is a question of temperaments
Same deal. Thanks to ancestry I have easier access to Hungary, but I've grown up used to rainy weather through 2/3rds of the year. Couldn't imagine living in such a dry place.
Magyarok?? Egyedül vagyok? 😂
Nem ! : )
Én eszkiomo vagyok 😁 😂
Regarding the salary: ppl dont work to live, they work to survive
True😮💨
As a Brit watching, I feel you too 🌧️
It's always interesting to hear comments from foreigners about my country, so thanks for sharing your video!
The cashier thing is so true. I lived in Austria for a few years and moved back to Hungary, then one of the first things I noticed in shops when I was back that cashiers work so incredibly slow compared to Austria. And do you know the reason for it? In communism it was very uncommon that people got fired from their job (which was low paid of course) so people weren't motivated at all to work as fast as possible. Many cashiers are older these days, so they grew up in that era and got used to this habit, though the younger ones also work quite slow, I guess it remained in our culture.
In Australia, we don't have many cashiers, it's mainly self service.
So you can go at your own pace.
Low unemployment in last few years is the reason why most of companies started building self service cash desks here in Czechia, it's not literally good, sometimes it's really complicated, but when you get used to it, you can do it 10 times faster than cash desk lady. Sometimes I would like to do it by myself when I see her. I know what is it like running around whole day, I work as CNC programmer/operator and have to work on more CNC machines at once and also I have many office work, people are always like "but I am here for 12 hours, you don't know what is it like" ....omg be glad that you work in some shop, we have to work on like 3 work places in one moment and carry 50 kg things and also many office job, they are just cry babies in supermarkets, I really don't like this, sometimes when I hear them speaking, they think that they are only one people who have hard job and are tired from that, but they actually don't know what real hard job is. Their massive advantage is that you can replace them, I know modern cash desks are not simple, but it's still possible to train someone in relatively short period of time to help you or replace you when you have vacation or something, I don't have this advantage as CNC programmer, it takes years to learn it to level that you don't destroy that machines.
I loved it! What do you think, is there any correlation between this "relaxed" thing and the payment you've mentioned? :-)
sure is

I've been to the Netherlands many times over the years and yes I love it. Everything is in walking distance, language is slightly difficult to learn and the nightlife is amazing. I've never been to Hungary before, but seen videos and photos. All I know is the language is difficult to learn and its a beautiful country. Can anyone tell me if tourist attractions are nearby the cities and if the euro is accepted?
Being in the Netherlands or living in the Netherlands are surely not the same. But hey, come and find out. Lets see what you think of the Netherlands then....
It was really nice but I was lol when u talked about that we are more relax than people from Netherland :D it's funny because I don't think we see us as relaxed.And for example for me if I travel to Italy they are really relaxed :D thank you for the video it was nice
It's funny because the salary for this type of job is normally halfway between what you expected and what you got offered.
Even if you don't have the experience in this area you are a native Dutch speaker who also speaks English so they should have offered you more especially by a company like BP.
Thanks for the video!
Goed gedaan!
Haha, funny watching this as Hungarian living in the Netherlands. I agree on the weather.;))
But as a motorbike commuter I prefer the Dutch weather where I can ride my bike almost all year round, Rotterdam area anyway. You cannot do this in Hungary. Plus you melt on the bike during the summer.
Well done for lasting for 3 years! I'm guessing it helps that you don't understand the conversations around you 100% all the time without even paying attention... that's a native speaker thing.
Good luck with your time in Hungary!
I LOVE everything about Hungary. I am not happy anymore in The Netherlands. We plan to move to Koszeg. It is peaceful and people are normal there. I like the Hungarian music folklore with guitars etc. I play the guitar too. I like to grow fruit and vegetables. We are only with 2. My husband and me. And some dogs and animals. Our harvest for vegetables will be a lot so we can make our Hungarian neighbours happy to give them free vegetables etc. We only want happyness love and peace together in small community to respect Hungarian culture and the people who live there. Its so important to cherish their way of living with respect and learn better way of life. In many countries in Europe it has all lost its way. Unfortunately.
In the Hungarian cashier's defence, I wouldn't give a shit about anything either if I had to work for a minimal wage 12 hours a day and on top of that had to deal with extremely rude customers... :D
Then you should stay home and sleep....
I only saw very fast cashiers in Hungary but I might encounter some slow ones in the future. The first thing you know is that you put out all your stuff, you blink and the cashier is already asking: credit cars or cash?
WOW that was cool I like it!!! csak így tovább c:
Greetings from Australia, Perth....///
You cannot compare seasonal (short time) work contact with a long term employment contract. Obviously companies or owners will pay more for a specific job without any obligation afterwards.

Great video. Be yourself never mind the defensive reactions.
Blessings.
Enjoyable video. I'm married to a Hungarian, and when we got engaged, my (Australian) salary was something like five times her Hungarian one. Weather is good there but.

day but fairly often.

If Im shoping in Austria, I even cant take out yet my wallet and she already give me the coints as the change.
Thank You for this video! Hope You'll get a much more attractive job/salary! Have nice time in Hungary! :)
The first example (cashier) is not a relaxed thing here in my opinion, more like a burnt-out thing. Also you say the salary for third example, and I think from that experience you can calculate how "much" a cashier maybe earns here, which can also result in them being slow and burnt-out.
Hey Raf, with the things going on in 2022 summer here, could you give some advice to people going out to the Netherlands for long term living please? How hard the settling period is with english speaking people?
Hongarije ligt in een dal. Omheen veel bergen. Het teistert nooit extreem slecht weer.
Welkom in Hongarije!
The Hungarian language has got 18 cases , the Baskian 12 , the Polish 7 , the German 4 , and the English/Italian / spanish / French have got 1 case ( The Nominative Case )...
Leuke video! Ik ben zelf opgegroeid in Hongarije en ben verhuisd naar Nederland.
I used to work in the Netherlands in a warehouse for the minimum wage. I even managed to get a nice studio apartment for a good price in Tilburg. I never had such a cheap appartment again. 😕
I know about salary thing is really not high in hungary but doesn't it even out with costs of living in general ? (in your experience as you lived in both country)
I can say you that all the things are slowly getting more expensive here but the salary doesn't match with the higher prices. For example, our neighbour tends to go to Austria to shopping because the prices are lower there.
The prices are almost the same as in other european countries, with 1/3 salaries.
Guys this cashier stuff depending on which shop and how much the cashier know or realtive of the leader of the shop.
Thx for that! I full agree with that. For this sallary vs. work problem there is a phrase. Ameddig ők fizetgetnek, addig én dolgozgatok!
Mean something like:
As long as they just pay something, I am just looking like I am working!

Well it seems like we hungarians just struggle here while try to not feel offended af. This country is Central-European not only geographically, but historically and culturally. Around '89 many people here felt relieved the we finally get back to where we belonged originally. And that was not East Europe. It is also not an offense against eastern europeans, we are just simply another pot in a way.

yeah but the sun rises too early, 5-6 am in summer, it's dark from 8, max. 9, in winter from 4 pm. we should change it
When the video was uploaded, we were already through a snowy easter. one or more, idk. But many years ago it was always sunny or in worst case rainy. Now it's fckd up and now instead of a white christmas, we have white easter xD Also, we are not THAT slow :p with the salaries you are right. Nobody cares how your money is enough or not enough, they wanna give you the lowest possible...
Hey man, hope everything is good with u? Are u still leaving in bp?
Oh boi, we are anything but relaxed. We stress so much, that we stopped caring a long time ago.
I’ve been to Budapest quite a few times … and never noticed the cashiers at any store being slow ?
Awesome, I live in California and am learning to code
5:30 lol my friend at McDonald's (@ Újpalota) gets that amount and he is just 16.
U know what means central europe? Or the iron curtain means eastern europe...
I am a hungarian guy from England and I don't really understand why is it so special at the cashiers (and almost everywhere else)? Third of the money means third of the normal speed 😂 And yeah, it is CENTRAL-Europe, not west, not east. We are so special, we have to be in the centre and you CANNOT say anything else! 😂. Cheers! 🍺
This guy’s really tall and good looking, they most be chasing him like mad.
My Grandmother told me it rained frogs, yes FROGS. It also had hail storms in July.
Thanks for this entertaining clip. :)
Quick calculation: that's 240 thousand forints monthly salary, which was approximately 655 EUR (by April 2020 exchange rate). Today, it'd amount to 250 thousand forints. True, that was the salary for foreigners who were recruited as Help Desk IT support workers to the company you've mentioned; nevertheless, it'd have been fair to mention that other big foreign companies in Budapest (Unisys, Telecom, TATA, Boss among many others) in 2019 Offred similar jobs for basic skills for at least EUR 800 plus some small benefits. Not much, but existential in Budapest. Moreover, Dutch speakers were intensively sought after and their beginning salaries were around 400 thousand forint, i.e., EUR 1100. In Holland you're expected to sweat at work, be punctual, take responsibility, be healthy and avoid not showing up to work. In Hungary? you're expected to sit at your desk, answer some calls, watch UA-cam, go to drink some coffee and smoke outside every hour. You can call your group leader at night and announce you'd be missing work the next day just because your stomach hurts. They don't ask questions as long as you provide a pink form from your nextdoor doctor. It's mediocracy at its best!
Bruh, in the netherlands you have pretty much unlimited sick days and your employer can't even legally ask what's the matter with you. If you're missing too much from your work, they can schedule a doctor's appointment for you, and the doc will determine if you can work part-time or at all. They cannot ask for a diagnosis however.
In hungary, you'll be hassled if you miss some days, constantly being asked what is your problem, and on top of that your employer can legally ask for your diagnosis on the same day you called in sick (or next morning). You literally have to go to a doctor to show your nosy, greedy ass boss, that you shat your guts out the other day, even if you don't actually need medication or treatment. Failure to do so, and you get threatened with losing that job which pays you 2 euros an hour.
Dutch people sure work hard, but they also respect their free time, and their boundaries. Unlike hungarians, who make sport of avoiding work (cuz you're not "expected" to watch yt and chill by your employer, but rather your co-workers), harass you in your free time, and regularly step over boundaries if it's in their interest.
@@lapatjani3171 I'm a foreigner who's lived in Hungary for almost 25 years by now, and there are things that you're right about--which made me fall off my chair laughing--but there are many positive aspects to Hungary and Hungarians. De nagyon is lehet hogy I respect the Hungarians more than they respect themselves.
@@jeromelevaiath3274 Oh you're definietly right about respect.
We are divided by our struggles, isolated because of the language, and impulsive from the fear the government generates.
When people are starving, they won't admire the values of each other or their home, only the calories they hold. That's why we often bite into each other, imho. Not exclusive but relevant to hungary.
What made you move to my former home btw? Especially before 2004? It must be an interesting story. What I am more intrigued by however is what made you stay?
He is right about the salary levels, but not about the cashier's speed. Just go to an Aldi or Lidl to check the difference.
Lekker bezig. Leuk filmpje
Hoe heb je leren coderen …?
Ben van plan om ook te verhuizen achter paar jaar
Maar vraag me af of ik kan verdienen met coderen
Hey I am from the Netherlands and moved to Hungary myself 2 and a half year ago , lol
Wow amazing
