Dear readers!

Our latest issue is an invitation to join us on a trip around the world. Welcome aboard as we travel from Transylvania to a fairytale Far East! What makes our trip so special is that you can meet Hungarian-speaking peoples everywhere, no matter which corner of the world you are travelling to. Our colleague Ágnes Szelp will take you on a journey through Transylvania with plenty of illustrations along the way. Edina Dragaschnig’s interview with the Hungarian water polo team, the gold medallists of Beijing, opens up a world behind the scenes of the Olympic Games. A Hungarian lawyer living in Tokyo, in a diary spiced up with humour, reports on the intercultural differences between Japan and Hungary. It will come as no surprise then that even the Vietnamese businessman representing several global companies can do business in Hungarian which he picked up in the many years he lived and worked in Hungary.

Of course we also have two of the current affairs the world is most preoccupied with to report on: the presidential elections in America and the financial crisis.

So here is our magazine’s latest issue for you to enjoy! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely
Tünde Kovács
