Where and How: I lived in Budapest, Hungary, for eight years. I was a missionary working at a Christian school there as their librarian.

Best Advice: One piece of advice I would give someone moving to Hungary is to learn basic Hungarian before you go; the language is a tough one. Learn to say hello and goodbye, and learn how to ask where something is, especially the restroom. I found this one very important.
