"Who knew you could achieve international fame by growing a mustache? Though the 'stache isn't as popular as it once was, Hungary is still a great place for a mustachioed traveler. I felt a kinship with the heroes of yore, who you see everywhere, like on the money and as statues all around the city. And I'll never forget the train ride when a bunch of school kids on a fieldtrip recognized me, and all busted out their camera phones to take pictures of the crazy American." – Amit |
