Szeged…over the border

On Monday Svetislav, a guy working for the towns museum, and a former collaborator of LDA, invited me to a trip to Szeged. Szeged is the nearest town over the Hungarian Border. It is really closed, just about 40 km north from here, but still it took us far more than an hour to get there because of the border controls. Obviously Hungarian guardian didn’t change since socialist times…They checked every single passport, copying name etc. one by one in there computers, although we all had new passports, that you could just scan and then they checked the cars, asking to open motor hub etc, just to control we didn’t hide some drugs etc. It took a loooong time. I don’t want to imagine what it is like after holydays….
Szeged has a nice center, some really beautiful buildings, but I have to say, I prefer Subotica. There is more characteristic, personality, live and even just places to stroll around, here than there.
