Young people of Hungary

This girl in Szetendre, just outside Budapest, is so cute. We chased after her to take her picture. It's fun to see young people when we travel. We have met sweet young French girls working at McDonald's in France. We may dislike places like Starbucks, McDonald's and the like but these places offer temporary employment for young people the world over. It's a way of making some pocket money. At these times of economic downturn, a lot of such places have closed in rural USA and the young people are left with nothing to do and no pocket money.

Here's a happy group in downtown Budapest. They were singing and advertising their upcoming concert. What were the reasons for all the riots in Cairo, in Tripoli, in Tunisia and all over that part of the world. It was all about jobs, all about money. The people wants a piece of the action and rightly so. All the money in the world have been stolen by bankers all of the world. In Cairo, the young men said, 'all they want is to get married!' It's not easy to get married, girls, these days, even Muslim girls wants an apartment, a washing machine, a TV and some comforts at home. Gone are those days when you can grab a girl of 12, keep her at home, barefoot and pregnant. Even in divorces in Egypt, the women keeps the children, gets child support and keeps the apartment. Marriage and setting up a home is a very expensive undertaking and not a lot of young Arab men can afford it. They might have oil money but this wealth is not distributed evenly.
We are going to see a very similar situation in the US quite soon. All the high paying factory jobs have been exported overseas, to China, to India. The unemployment figures is actually higher than the official numbers. Where are the jobs going to come from, no one knows. So we keep on printing money to stave off the day of reckoning. These are scary times.
