Cheers and other Budapest, Hungary Local Custom Tips

As other estern european countries and probably western when you are ready to cheers your glass be sure to look at your friend at the eyes ..its so common and if you dont could be a offence for them... so has a good and bad point..the good one is that help to flirt with girls looking at her specially and the bad one is that its so slow to finish the cheers!

In my first moment i didnt realize that when you meet a girl in BUDAPEST you dont have to kiss her as we do in southern europe where more is not such complicated...so just shake your hands... if you see some other day hanging out then you can kiss her on the chicks but just after meet her..
