Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Lena: Since Hungarian people are friendly and open in most cases, you might be asked if you can borrow a pen or tissue or light for a cigarette. And in situations when you would need those as well, don't be afraid to ask someone the same questions!
