As a Hungarian, as a Hungarian from town Nyíregyháza, this was the funniest video of youtube 😂😂 when you called our water-tower "soviet skyscraper" i spat my coffee on my keyboard from laughing 🤣
-"Hello sir, you have Russian visas and dozens of entries to RF" -"But I am a British top TH-camr, a millioner, and film about the post-USSR countries, I am one of the world famous travel bloggers" "Ok, sir, please, show me your TH-cam channel" "Soviet, Soviet, Soviet, Soviet, Soviet, Soviet mosaics, Soviet sink, Soviet bunker, Transnistrian Soviet republic, Soviet drunks etc" - then a phone call to the boss of Border Agency of Ukraine and to Zelenskiy "Excuse me, sir, you cannot enter the country"
Bald is (almost) never the guy to make clickbait videos, but I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the fact that this video is not titled something like "HOW I was KICKED OUT of UKRAINE". Much love.
Yes... typical TH-camrs these days are so annoying with their titles... They'll accidentally drop their house keys on the ground and be like "I LOST MY KEYS IN A FOREIGN CITY!!! (ALMOST HOMELESS) (WATCH UNTIL THE END)"
Well to be frank, some long time ago he used to make clickbait videos and cause shitty situations on purpose for views like when he was swimming with Baldr to an hotel island in India and the staff of the hotel didn't liked it.... But yeah thankfully now he has enough subscribers and TH-cam money and can make honest videos and titles 😎
Bald, your casual discrete filming skills are impressive :). I love how you just hold the camera down or set it to the side so people don't get bothered by you filming but you still have a well framed shot.
Thank you for this, very little makes me smile anymore, but seeing you’ve uploaded makes me really happy, very few people have the ability to make a difference, but you’re delivery, knowledge and understanding makes you one of a kind. So thank you.
Mate - go to the Ukrainian embassy in London and get a media visa or apply there to get approval to enter. Your stories are needed from inside Ukraine. I’m usually resident there and been back in since. Beers in Kyiv for sure.
As a long time viewer and a enormous fan of ben, I also second this. I would really love to see a video of you in Ukraine. Ukraine needs to be seen from your perspective during these trying times and the Ukrainian story needs to be told. Theres no one better to do that than than yourself, considering how familiar you are with the country.
He could of gotten in if he told them about his TH-cam page. It's literally like a freaking passport, just with actual things he's done which is just site seeing and exploring.
Hey Bald, just so you know if your having issues with getting into Ukraine because of the Russian visa you can request an additional UK passport and the Passport Office should be able to provide you with one. Passports for travel to incompatible countries is one of the reasons why you can request an additional one, so although you cannot travel there now you might still be able to in future, hope this helps! 🙂
They would probably find it just as suspicious. A dude looking like a Russian gangster trying to enter a country at war with a brand new passport, all blank pages... dunno... Seems exactly what Russian gangster would do lol.
@@Im-just-Stardust No because if you get an additional UK passport it is not linked in anyway to your other passport, they can be used simultaneously. I mean yes they might still refuse entry if it is blank but its also used for frequent travellers as well so I wouldn't see it being an issue. The issue he has with his current passport is because of the Russian visa.
Maybe they realized at the customs that he is that very famous blogger who very often travels to the Russian Federation and glorifies the Soviet past (in Ukraine it is a crime to glorify the USSR and its crimes), I think their actions are justified and the country is at war at the moment, so he legally was perceived as a threat.

@@lancedelacruz4117 Of course, at least as nice as they are to any tourist. Hungarians are not famous for being warm and fuzzy with anyone, including their own compatriots. But in touristy areas they will be really nice to you...

I guess, those British pro-Russian propagandist "journalists" have ruined it for Ben. Border guards who didn't know Ben must have thought he was one of them. Pity.
And that's the only Hungarian world that he can say so that we Hungarians understand it. I was sure he overplayed being ignorant. E.g. Kocs = coach (not kox). It is the name of the Hungarian village where a certain vehicle was developed.
Imagine knowing Bald, seeing him wandering aimlessly around in your town grumbling broken Hungarian. Priceless. Greetings from Hungary! (and köszönöm for saying Budapest right! 😘)
I met him once and he was actually just a major douche. It's kind of the problem with TH-camrs who can edit and control exactly how they want to be presented.
This was so much fun watching as a Hungarian! I'm always watching your vids exploring these countries around us, hoping you will visit us one day. Finally it happened and I hope you will come back! :)
Benjamin, you're a good person. My mom and I watch your videos to see places we don't know. We have fun and see new things. Thanks for these great videos.
Aww, i love this guy. He just goes to some places where ordinary tourist wouldn't go and with his charisma somehow makes it really interesting. Even if he goes to some random Uzbek distance place, he makes it really fun to watch.
I have learnt so much from Bald and his travels. I am travelling South East Asia at the moment and because of him, some days I just leave the hotel and walk the streets of bangkok or Saigon or Kuala Lumpur etc. Normally I would do touristy things like museums etc. But now I just walk around random streets looking at people and their lives, it's so much more interesting.
I'm not Hungarian but I speak it well enough to have found this video funny. My favourite bit was 11:26 "This is Mag-yar??" "Ez Magyar, igen" ("This is Hungarian, yes") "One 'Mag-yar igen' please" ("One 'Hungarian, yes' please") 😂
Hopefully you have a change of heart and keep the channel going, love watching your content over the years! Super interesting, gets brought up at random parties and all!
With censorship, it's over! The truth always becomes know in the long-run, it always does. This is a classic case in point. Put1n was a former W€F 'Young Gl0bal L€ader for Tomorrow'.

Haha you helping the elderly off the train always reminded me of being a kid traveling with my elderly aunt & grandma in Russia, i would help them off the train and then every person after that started using me for help and handing me their bag while they get down, I just think "well I guess this is my job for the next 5 minutes"
so happy to see you recording around the Keleti station in Budapest! Stayed around there multiple times and felt surreal to see one of my favorite youtubers doing the same :) cheers
I was once in Nyiregyhaza and we stayed at a camping in a huge half abandoned theme park and played minigolf at an overgrown course. Sad you missed it, but good luck on further journeys and hope you get in Ukraine!
For some one who travels a lot I'm surprised you were not prepared to go to Ukraine. I worked in the oil sector and used to travel a lot. We used to just remove Indian stamped pages before entering Pakistan. Nobody ever counted the pages. Israeli stamps ment you needed a new passport to go to Tehran. Georgia wasn't nice if you had Russian stamps twelve years ago. Same for coming to Baku if you'd visited Yerevan. Very British (clumsy almost) talking loudly of Soviets in a country that really hated them. Watching you in Ukraine would have been so great. Thanks.
The russhists (russian fascists) return the old monuments of Lenin in occupied UA towns, execute people, deport children and so on, so his glorification or admiration of Soviets for fun in current climate is not acceptable, it was funny and OKish before! Now he should leave that "Soviet theme", it's not funny nowadays at all!
How could Ben prepare for what happened? He had his Visa(s) ready but they had previously been marked down in Russia which the customs officers didn't approve and denied him entry to travel, I do lack the means to know what Ben could of done differently but hopefully you can explain more about it. To the last part of your comment I do agree with you, talking openly and care-free about Soviets made me wince at the thought of someone overhearing Bald and thinking who the f*ck is this guy? But Bald being Bald you can't hate him for it but he does need to be more careful.
@@ottoreitstock2465 I do agree with you but would you agree that what makes us not fascists is that we respect everyone's freedom, Including his to express whatever he wants?
@@paparoach007 I enjoy almost all his trips and what he gets in to. like his followers I guess. But he could have utilized his well known YTuber status and mobilized that. I'm sure other Tubers in Ukraine would have helped him. Someone like Operator Starsky, would have seen the propaganda value maybe in an honest interview..Just idea's, because you asked.
@@offgridcabinbelgium He could use his star status to collect cash for UA Army (ZSU) to buy the drones or a new tank - to fight against RU zombies and fascists. After that UA border agency will let him in with a cup of tea and peace of cake in their office!))
Cheers for inspiring a next generation of travellers! Watched all your videos in covid and it's inspired to go travelling to more remote places like yourself
America and Britain are obsessed with money laundering in Ukraine via tricky weapons delivery 🚚 to Ukraine. It’s quite similar to Afghanistan in 2001 where they managed to launder over 1 trillion US dollars 💵
IMPORTANT ADVICE : Benjamin, you should absolutely visit Dunaújváros, south of Budapest. It is a 100% stalinist town created around 1950, like Nowa Huta and Eisenhüttenstadt.
Since he is already in the east he could just go to Tiszaújváros, its similar. Or to Miskolc, it also has a lot of Soviet stuff and its actually a bigger city, so would be better for content.
We see the decline of the western dominance America and Britain are obsessed with money laundering in Ukraine via tricky weapons delivery 🚚 to Ukraine. It’s quite similar to Afghanistan in 2001 where they managed to launder over 1 trillion US dollars 💵
So sorry to hear things are wrapping up with your channels. Thanks for all the videos and content. A really entertaining and fascinating look into countries that have often been overlooked! I'll struggle to find another channel quite like yours!
I really hope he'll reconsider his stance. His videos on bald and bankrupt and Daily Bald are educational and entertaining, with a great blend of humour and intrigue. These videos open the eyes of many because it shows us really a true representation of Eastern Europe, where we might have many misconceptions. Losing these videos off TH-cam would be a crying shame.
@@mercster He announced it on his now empty Instagram account. To sum it up - he has had done enough with TH-cam and reached his goal. He doesn't want to be known as a TH-camr and wants to focus on writing
I feel like someone with the time and harddrive space for it should download all his videos here and on the main channel, he deleted all his content on his Instagram, may as well do it here after he's done with his travel vlogs :/
Good thing you weren't let in, I reckon. I recieve mixed signals from everywhere around the place. I believe you can get out of any situation, but sometimes life tends to remind us that we better not try to do some things, by denying entry or some other streak of misfortune before our critical decision...
You American? Just wondering. I am. Never heard that from another American. Been traveling the world, many war zones since 1977. Other Americans think I'm crazy and unpatriotic for finding other countries interesting😉😊

As a fellow Hungarian, I was literally laughing out loud for a solid 5 minutes at that. The lady literally said "Ez jobb -> This is better" while pointing at the most foul beer brand in the entire country.
When you were on the way back to Hungary i thought time for a 'random town hunt' as it was a 23min vid and as always you didn't disappoint...Love you Bald 😘
It's Good to see you are doing well Benjamin! Since this whole event, my family and I have been praying every day for Kola, and the babushka in the exclusion zone Chernobyl.
@@robshepherd3782 Perhaps I have missed something, or am overlooking something. Please inform all of us what do you think can be done? What can we do? Please enlighten us, because if you have a solution we need to know it now so we can put it into action to save these lives!!
Bald, i think this ending meant something, mate, i hope you do some more videos, i really love them, keep moving and travelling and letting us see the world through your eyes, hope your good mate.
I was stopped in Lviv by military, they though I might be a draft dodger, but opon realizing I'm not Ukrainian they asked for my passport and first thing, checked if there's any Russian visas (I didn't have any so it wasn't a big deal) Point being, unless you get a new passport, your issues would not end at the border. Also I was also told to stop taking pictures in Odesa. All of which is understandable, but it's hard to imagine Bald being allowed to walk around Chernobyl with camera without attracting attention, and then when police would come and see his stamp that would cause similar (if not bigger) commotion that the one at the border.
surly if someone was up to no good in a country that was at war with another they wouldnt have visa stamps all over thier passport , be a bit of a giveaway , they would be issued with a clean passport
In the Netherlands it is possible to get a duplicate passport for exactly this reason. In the past, it was mostly for people who had visited arab countries in the middle east and wanting to go to Isreal (and vice versa).
The videos you made of the Ukrainian cities and towns and villages prior to the invasion are really important to document the history of the country now Ben. I hope all the people you met are safe. Thank you for the vids.
Sitting here, in a village just outside Székesfehérvár with my Hungarian girlfriend laughing her head off at your pronunciations! Thank you, I am no longer the worst Englishman at pronouncing Hungarian words and places! BTW, Zoknik is socks... Szia!
I've done this journey to the border and back so many times. It's strange to see it in a VLOG. The familiar faces looking for passengers from Nyíregyháza to the border. The people traveling with bags of goods to sell back home. Makes me really miss the region and my home town. I really wish this bloody war can end soon so we can return, even if for a nostalgic visit.
I don't see it ending any time soon (literally decades away). I can 3 possible scenarios to end the war: 1) Ukraine lose and becomes part of Russia 2) Putin gives up due to lack of resources or some other similar reason 3) Putin gets deposed by an internal coup. None are likely. Ukraine are being supported by western countries ad infinitim in terms of weapons, money and arms training. Putin would happily bankrupt Russia to achieve his military goals. Putin's connections are too close to be able to depose him. His closest circle are protectorates and loyal (AFAIK). The only way to end it is to have Putin out of power and the only way to do that is for him to die. If his successor has similar ambitions and political views, then it will continue on to the end of *his* lifetime too.
As a fellow UK citizen Bald - you are allowed to apply for what is officially called an "additional passport" for visa reasons. I know it doesn't help now but hey just saying for future vlogs as this war and its fallout is gonna last.
The fun thing about bald is that he just never research anything so this shit always end up happening. Didnt he go to that space museum twice and it was closed both times?
@@scottwillie6389 Keep on dreaming, in the future mr Bald is going to need multiple visas to the different parts of what we know call the russian federation
So happy you were in Nyiregyhaza! Lived there for more than a year and loved that city with all my heart. Now living in Budapest but I miss the familiar Nyiregyhaza feeling every day
Hungaria is an awesome country with great people ❤️🇭🇺. Thank you Benjamin for the amazing vlogs and much appreciation for all you do. Just wish sometimes this channel lived up to it’s name lol
I love how you can almost feel the atmosphere of the places Ben goes to. One thing we are missing is the smells, it's the aromas of places that makes them unique. Coming from England these places are different I'm sure but because England isn't that far away it's not that amazing. Watching from here in New Zealand however, everything seems incredibly exotic and almost as if it's on a different planet. Everything is just so normal down here which can be boring but I wouldn't change it for the world.
truth is you are a different Planet ...there in down under ...how do you even claim that you live on earth ....!😅! If Bald were to go and see New Z that would be Epic ...with sheep and Kiwis & some Maori thrown in for drama !
I think you're overstating the relevance of smell and understating how important the visual is a bit. That's why you can feel a lot of the atmosphere, because you're seeing and hearing it, that's what videos do and is why we love them. Smell can be really important but sometimes it's not. Car exhaust smells the same everywhere, the whole of Italy doesn't smell like olive oil lol.
3:20 Hi Bald just a bit of explanation > It came from the French term coche and also from the Hungarian word kocsi, which meant “carriage”. Carriages were named that way because superior carts and wagons were designed in the small town of Kocs in Hungary. The meaning we use today originated at Oxford University in 1830.>
I had watched so many videos of Benjamin that I have adopted his personality strangely enough 🤣. Tho it helped me with confidence and now I can hold deep conversations with anyone. I'm grateful.
Actually it is. Take a look at Nyíregyháza Sóstó, the city has Hungary's best and largest zoo and a nice spa next to it. The footage does not reflect the city.
a clean passport will become suspicious too, he need a couple of stamps first before trying again although they probably put him on some kind of list in this attempt
@@ottoreitstock2465 TH-cam will demonetize every single video with a single minor Nazi reference. Besides, where would he go ? Find the alt right skinheads of the western countries ? lol He could go to communist countries in Asia, to Finland. Also, I believe he never went to Poland.
@@kukuhaplus Yes, it's a good idea, that division really fought against the USSR on the side of Wehrmacht (as many ethnic divisions almost from every Europian nations did).
I visited Hungary a few years ago and took an allnight train from Budapest to Belgrade Serbia. Many memories. Train station looks very familiar.Thanks for another great video
@@9wowable Hi there; good advice, and I would have said something similar, but the problem also these days is that he may now be on a database as having been refused entry. That said, a second passport is a good idea for someone like Bald who has been to so many countries.
@@9wowable that's right! Grandad Moshe in the episode Only In Russia. I'm not 100% certain but I think Bald's mum or dad would have to get the Polish passport first and then, he can get one via them. The Polish passport cant go from his grandad to him.

Watt and Stephenson are up there because they invented the (first industrially viable) steam engine and the locomotive respectively, not because they built any railroads.
Not quite true. George Stephenson designed and constructed the first intercity railway, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. He was contracted to do so. The Rainhill trials, which his locomotive, Rocket , won, was conducted on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
@@teraris Which has absolutely no relevance for Hungary, and the Hungarian architects' design decision to raise two statues depicting them. Context my dude, context is everything... I didn't say they didn't build any railroads, I said that isn't why they are up there.

My command of the English language is beyond reproach. Your understanding of it is however up to debate...
I have believed that you will a bit more profoundly discover Nyíregyháza :( Probably it is not the most beautiful town in Hungary, but a pretty decent one and there are a few very good places to go. For example the Sóstó Zoo, which is one of the best zoos all around Europe (No.1 in its category of European Zoos with attendance between 250k and 500k). Apart that there are nice spas, restaurants and parks as well here. It is a quite calm town with small nightlife, but definitely deserves a second chanse. :) Btw Kőbányai is a damn bad beer, next time try out the products of Soproni or any other hungarian craft breweries.
Thanks for this comment. I'm a Hungarian, but never been to Nyíregyháza. I was a bit disappointed that he couldn't find more interesting places and spots there, as it's quite a large a town. At least he could bump into some young people to recommend him a good pub or restaurant. My hubby said the same, Kőbányai was the worst choice of beer! 😆

This was so much fun watching as a Hungarian! I'm always watching your vids exploring these countries around us, hoping you will visit us one day. Finally it happened and I hope you will come back! :)
What I love about your vlogs, Benjamin, is that they are so spontaneous, so unplanned; this is so very refreshing to see as a viewer.
like how he just decided to travel to a random town.
Benjamin, you're a good person. My mom and I watch your videos to see places we don't know. We have fun and see new things. Thanks for these great videos.
I wish my mum watched videos with me.

Aww, i love this guy. He just goes to some places where ordinary tourist wouldn't go and with his charisma somehow makes it really interesting. Even if he goes to some random Uzbek distance place, he makes it really fun to watch.
I have learnt so much from Bald and his travels. I am travelling South East Asia at the moment and because of him, some days I just leave the hotel and walk the streets of bangkok or Saigon or Kuala Lumpur etc. Normally I would do touristy things like museums etc. But now I just walk around random streets looking at people and their lives, it's so much more interesting.
That’s what makes him unique
Uzbek distant places are street food heavens in gorgeous mountains, never talk bad about them

I'm not Hungarian but I speak it well enough to have found this video funny. My favourite bit was 11:26
"This is Mag-yar??"
"Ez Magyar, igen"
("This is Hungarian, yes")
"One 'Mag-yar igen' please"
("One 'Hungarian, yes' please")

so happy to see you recording around the Keleti station in Budapest! Stayed around there multiple times and felt surreal to see one of my favorite youtubers doing the same :) cheers
I have tennis elbow from clicking and replaying video at 9:25. spectacular.
I was once in Nyiregyhaza and we stayed at a camping in a huge half abandoned theme park and played minigolf at an overgrown course. Sad you missed it, but good luck on further journeys and hope you get in Ukraine!
For some one who travels a lot I'm surprised you were not prepared to go to Ukraine. I worked in the oil sector and used to travel a lot. We used to just remove Indian stamped pages before entering Pakistan. Nobody ever counted the pages. Israeli stamps ment you needed a new passport to go to Tehran. Georgia wasn't nice if you had Russian stamps twelve years ago. Same for coming to Baku if you'd visited Yerevan. Very British (clumsy almost) talking loudly of Soviets in a country that really hated them. Watching you in Ukraine would have been so great. Thanks.
The russhists (russian fascists) return the old monuments of Lenin in occupied UA towns, execute people, deport children and so on, so his glorification or admiration of Soviets for fun in current climate is not acceptable, it was funny and OKish before! Now he should leave that "Soviet theme", it's not funny nowadays at all!
How could Ben prepare for what happened? He had his Visa(s) ready but they had previously been marked down in Russia which the customs officers didn't approve and denied him entry to travel, I do lack the means to know what Ben could of done differently but hopefully you can explain more about it. To the last part of your comment I do agree with you, talking openly and care-free about Soviets made me wince at the thought of someone overhearing Bald and thinking who the f*ck is this guy? But Bald being Bald you can't hate him for it but he does need to be more careful.
@@ottoreitstock2465 I do agree with you but would you agree that what makes us not fascists is that we respect everyone's freedom, Including his to express whatever he wants?
@@paparoach007 I enjoy almost all his trips and what he gets in to. like his followers I guess. But he could have utilized his well known YTuber status and mobilized that. I'm sure other Tubers in Ukraine would have helped him. Someone like Operator Starsky, would have seen the propaganda value maybe in an honest interview..Just idea's, because you asked.
@@offgridcabinbelgium He could use his star status to collect cash for UA Army (ZSU) to buy the drones or a new tank - to fight against RU zombies and fascists. After that UA border agency will let him in with a cup of tea and peace of cake in their office!))

IMPORTANT ADVICE : Benjamin, you should absolutely visit Dunaújváros, south of Budapest. It is a 100% stalinist town created around 1950, like Nowa Huta and Eisenhüttenstadt.
Since he is already in the east he could just go to Tiszaújváros, its similar. Or to Miskolc, it also has a lot of Soviet stuff and its actually a bigger city, so would be better for content.
Eisenhüttenstadt hieß sogar Anfangs Stalinstadt.

I was stopped in Lviv by military, they though I might be a draft dodger, but opon realizing I'm not Ukrainian they asked for my passport and first thing, checked if there's any Russian visas (I didn't have any so it wasn't a big deal)
Point being, unless you get a new passport, your issues would not end at the border. Also I was also told to stop taking pictures in Odesa. All of which is understandable, but it's hard to imagine Bald being allowed to walk around Chernobyl with camera without attracting attention, and then when police would come and see his stamp that would cause similar (if not bigger) commotion that the one at the border.
Chernobyl is a ghost town, nothing sensitive can be found there.

In the Netherlands it is possible to get a duplicate passport for exactly this reason. In the past, it was mostly for people who had visited arab countries in the middle east and wanting to go to Isreal (and vice versa).

I really like how they solve some things in the Netherlands.
Or go to the embassy and ask for a new passport. Or isn't this an option anymore these days?
In the US, they will give you a loose page for your passport, no need for a whole extra passport....

Very awesome for sure
I've done this journey to the border and back so many times. It's strange to see it in a VLOG. The familiar faces looking for passengers from Nyíregyháza to the border. The people traveling with bags of goods to sell back home.
Makes me really miss the region and my home town. I really wish this bloody war can end soon so we can return, even if for a nostalgic visit.
props
I don't see it ending any time soon (literally decades away). I can 3 possible scenarios to end the war:
1) Ukraine lose and becomes part of Russia
2) Putin gives up due to lack of resources or some other similar reason
3) Putin gets deposed by an internal coup.
None are likely. Ukraine are being supported by western countries ad infinitim in terms of weapons, money and arms training. Putin would happily bankrupt Russia to achieve his military goals. Putin's connections are too close to be able to depose him. His closest circle are protectorates and loyal (AFAIK).
The only way to end it is to have Putin out of power and the only way to do that is for him to die. If his successor has similar ambitions and political views, then it will continue on to the end of *his* lifetime too.
Love from Hungary! Loved your pronounciation so much! :D Thank you for being here!
And with this video, I'm officially caught up with his travels. It's been a long journey but a great one.
As a fellow UK citizen Bald - you are allowed to apply for what is officially called an "additional passport" for visa reasons. I know it doesn't help now but hey just saying for future vlogs as this war and its fallout is gonna last.
That's a new one on me, I thought he'd have to replace his old passport to get a clean one. It might take a few months to get it, but worth it.
In the future, his Russian visa will probably be sufficient to get in to most of what we now call Ukraine.
The fun thing about bald is that he just never research anything so this shit always end up happening. Didnt he go to that space museum twice and it was closed both times?

I love how you can almost feel the atmosphere of the places Ben goes to. One thing we are missing is the smells, it's the aromas of places that makes them unique. Coming from England these places are different I'm sure but because England isn't that far away it's not that amazing. Watching from here in New Zealand however, everything seems incredibly exotic and almost as if it's on a different planet. Everything is just so normal down here which can be boring but I wouldn't change it for the world.
truth is you are a different Planet ...there in down under ...how do you even claim that you live on earth ....!😅! If Bald were to go and see New Z that would be Epic ...with sheep and Kiwis & some Maori thrown in for drama !
I think you're overstating the relevance of smell and understating how important the visual is a bit. That's why you can feel a lot of the atmosphere, because you're seeing and hearing it, that's what videos do and is why we love them.
Smell can be really important but sometimes it's not. Car exhaust smells the same everywhere, the whole of Italy doesn't smell like olive oil lol.

3:20 Hi Bald just a bit of explanation > It came from the French term coche and also from the Hungarian word kocsi, which meant “carriage”. Carriages were named that way because superior carts and wagons were designed in the small town of Kocs in Hungary. The meaning we use today originated at Oxford University in 1830.>

Might also be related to the Dutch word 'koets' which means also (horse drawn) carriage.

Watt and Stephenson are up there because they invented the (first industrially viable) steam engine and the locomotive respectively, not because they built any railroads.

I have believed that you will a bit more profoundly discover Nyíregyháza :( Probably it is not the most beautiful town in Hungary, but a pretty decent one and there are a few very good places to go. For example the Sóstó Zoo, which is one of the best zoos all around Europe (No.1 in its category of European Zoos with attendance between 250k and 500k). Apart that there are nice spas, restaurants and parks as well here. It is a quite calm town with small nightlife, but definitely deserves a second chanse. :) Btw Kőbányai is a damn bad beer, next time try out the products of Soproni or any other hungarian craft breweries.
Thanks for this comment. I'm a Hungarian, but never been to Nyíregyháza. I was a bit disappointed that he couldn't find more interesting places and spots there, as it's quite a large a town. At least he could bump into some young people to recommend him a good pub or restaurant. My hubby said the same, Kőbányai was the worst choice of beer! 😆
