Joseph smiled and talked to Fang Yun, while politely asking his wife Hannah to ask Fang Yun for tea or coffee?

Fang Yun said, "Let's drink tea!"

Hannah turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea, Joseph smiled and said, "Miss Fang, you came at the right time, my Chinese colleagues in my company gave me good tea, Longjing tea, green tea, and jasmine tea, I asked my wife to brew a little of everything for you to taste." โ€

Fang Yun smiled, "You're welcome, you don't have to be busy entertaining me, just be casual." โ€

Joseph said: "I have been in China for five years, I know that China is a country of etiquette, Chinese tea is very good, when I go on vacation, I bring Chinese tea and local products back to Hungary, give them to my relatives and friends, my parents used to only drink coffee, and now they also like to drink Chinese tea." โ€

Hannah came out with a pot of dragon wells, set up a fruit plate, and entertained Fang Yun, they have been in China for five years, and they seem to understand Chinese etiquette very well, and they are very good at getting along with Chinese friends.

Hannah returned to her husband, sat down beside Joseph, and talked to her.

"The last time you and you were interviewed by us, it left a good impression on the audience in front of the TV, and the Chinese audience is very interested in getting to know Hungary, can you tell us about Hungary?"

โ€œOK๏ผโ€

"Hungary is a landlocked country located in central Europe, bordered by Romania and Ukraine to the east, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia to the south, Austria to the west and Slovakia to the north. โ€

"Hungary is located in the alluvial plain of the Danube, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the Alps to the west and the Carpathians to the northeast. The Danube, which flows from southern Slovakia, flows into Hungary and divides Hungary into two parts, east and west. โ€

Fang Yun took out the globe and, according to Joseph's explanation, found the location of Hungary.

"Right here!"

Joseph nodded, "Yes, that's right here, I was born in Hungary, my wife and I are both Hungarians, we are both alumni, we met at an alumni ball, and since then, I have launched a passionate pursuit of her, and it didn't take long for her to agree to be my girlfriend and be with me, and then we got married very smoothly, and then I transferred to work in China, and she also came to China." โ€

Fang Yun smiled, "What a romantic story, I want to ask why your wife agreed in the first place?"

Joseph smiled and looked at his wife, Hannah smiled, "When I first met him, I thought he was very handsome, he was very tall, very handsome, and his appearance was very in line with my aesthetics, after coming into contact with him, I found that this young man was very humorous, with him, very ordinary life, he can also find fun in it, always like to tell jokes to me, make me happy." โ€

"I introduced him to my parents and friends, and he was able to fit in very quickly, without any sense of restraint, my parents liked him very much, chatted with him, never worried about being cold, he was very enthusiastic, very talkative, no matter what the question, as long as I asked him, he would answer, if he didn't understand, he would be honest, and then go to the information, look through the books, until you understand, and then soon give you the answer. โ€

"Sincere, kind, especially frank, never hidden, generous, helpful, soon won the love of my parents, my parents nodded and said this young man is very reliable, you can socialize. โ€

"In Hungary, a couple of young people fall in love, and they also ask their parents for their opinions?" Fang Yun was a little curious.

"Yes, Hungary is a landlocked country in central Europe, young people can fall in love freely, but they will also go back to ask their parents for advice, if their parents think this young man is good, agree to date, of course it is a good thing, after all, parents are from the past, they have experience, before marrying him, I still asked my parents for advice, my parents gave me a lot of advice as a person who came over. โ€

"Can you tell us about the sweet memories you had when you were in love?"

"We Hungarian young people fall in love, in fact, it is similar to Chinese young people falling in love, they also eat together, watch movies, or have activities, the alumni will have a ball, or there will be celebrations, invite to go together, travel together, go to parties, young people like to be lively, as long as two people have fun and get along happily. โ€

"Which city in Hungary did you live in before you came to China?" Fang Yun asked.

"We live in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. โ€

"Budapest is a famous ancient city in Europe, located in the north-central part of the Hungarian border, on both sides of the middle Danube, originally two cities opposite each other, and then expanded over the centuries to form in 1873 by the merger of the cities of Buda and Gubuda on the left bank of the Danube and the right bank city of Pest. โ€

"Known as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe' and the 'Pearl of the Danube', Budapest's most important attractions are located on the banks of the Danube. On the rocky side of Buda on the west bank are the Freedom Monument and the Castle. At the foot of the hill there are the Gellรฉrt Baths, and downstream of them is the main building of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. On the hill to the north of the castle is the Buda Castle, which houses the National Library, the Hungarian National Gallery and the Municipal Museum, and the Sandor Palace next to the castle is the residence of the Hungarian president. โ€

"To the north of the hill stands the Matthias Church, and between it and the Danube is the Fisherman's Bastion. The entire castle district and the view of the Danube River have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. โ€

"There are many attractions in Hungary, I will introduce them to the Chinese audience in front of the TV one by one, if there are Chinese friends who want to travel to Hungary, they can find me as a tour guide!"
