    Hi, Doug

Although I didn't see the part, I can give you a few educated guesses.

Was the story supposed to take place anywhere in Europe? (Budapest &
other major cities often substitue for various European or Balkan
locals, as shooting a movie is much cheaper in Hungary than anywhere
else in Europe). In fact, even many of the West' favourite cartoons are
made in Hungary for the same reason (notably, cost).

Also, there're a lot of people whose profession is connected to the
movie industry, but Hungary being a small country w/ a VERY limited
market, they try to get jobs anywhere they can... And, so far as I know,
the professional training in Hungary is still of rahter good quality, at
least movie-wise.

Take care

Robert

    Dan, sorry for butting in, but...

If you really need current, up to date information on Hungary, the best
way to obtain it is by calling the nearest embassy or consulate. They'll
be more than happy to send some brochure (& I'm talking from
experience), but what's more, they'll be able to provide you with some
addresses in Hungary (such as Ministry of Culture, Trade, etc) where you
can write for in-depth reports. In fact almost everywhere in the
"western" world the municipal & the central goverment offices prepare
such brochures & reports about subjects ranging from geography to trade
relations. These're usually free of charge, & contain a great deal of
information. Unfortunately, very few people know about it.

Take care

Robert

Does anyone know where this is?  In a guidebook (by A. Torok, which
I recommend unconditionally) I read that there was an office on the
Andrassy ut reserved for a Romanian cultural center, to be opened
after a Hungarian center would be opened in Bucharest.  This office,
near the Opera, had apparently been vacant for many years.

     ROMANIAN CULTURAL CENTER  OPENS  IN BUDAPEST.   Romanian
Minister  of Culture  Ludovic  Spiess  said  at  the  opening
ceremony on 8 October that "in Budapest today Romania opens a
new door to Europe" and "an opportunity for dialogue that the
two countries urgently  need."  A  Hungarian  cultural center
opened in Bucharest  on  1 October.  Spiess and his Hungarian
counterpart Bertalan Andrasfalvy  expressed the hope that the
cultural centers will  promote closer cooperation between the
two countries.   MTI  carried  the  report.    (Edith  Oltay,
RFE/RL, Inc.)
 
     POSSIBLE  COMPROMISE ON  THE  MEDIA  FRONT  IN  HUNGARY.
Representatives of Hungary's  three opposition parties told a
press conference following  talks  with President Arpad Goncz
on  8  October   that   they   are  willing  to  make  "sound
compromises" to end  the country's media war.  They agreed to
enter into discussions with the government on the appointment
of new radio  and TV chiefs as well as the package of laws on
the media.  The  opposition  parties  have until now insisted
that the appointment  of  heads  of radio and TV be discussed
only after the  enactment  by  parliament  of the media laws.
The government dismissed  the radio and TV chiefs months ago,
but  they remain  in  their  posts  because  President  Goncz
refused to approve  the  dismissals.   Quarrels  between  the
government and the  opposition over control of the media have
for the past  two  years  blocked  the passing of much needed
laws on the media. (Edith Oltay, RFE/RL, Inc.)

I cannot answer this question of when to use "meg"; however, because I 
learned Hungarian before English, continue to speak it at home, have had my 
grandmother & grandfather visit (from Budapest), and have visited Hungary, 
I find myself sometimes using it--somtimes not.  It seems to be a matter of 
emphasis, verb tense (imperative), and/or the words between which it appears.

     I'm writing a political thriller set in Eastern Europe. I've
done quite a lot of research on the subject, especially concerning the
various intelligence agencies of the area. Now everything's changed, &
I don't seem to be able to get the necessary information.

     Please, if you have any information about the NEW, FULL name (in
the native language of the country) & abbreviation of the intelligence
agencies of Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech & Slovak Republics &
Rumania, leave me a message. Any additional information is highly
appreciated. I know these names have been published in the various
newspapers of the countries mentioned above, but I don't speak any E-
European language, so...

Also, if you know something about the KGB's former Alpha Group, or
(please DON'T laugh) any cigarette brand ANYWHERE in the world, please
reply.

Again, I'd truly appreciate your help. In return, I'll be more than
happy to provide any information I have about the subject (i.e. the
cloak
& dagger world).
     I'm sorry for intruding in this conference with such an
inappropriate request, but I'm desperate, & can't figure out where is
the
right place to post my message. Thanks for your patience.

   I recently phoned the Australian Consulate General in San Francisco

Baseball has a small following in Australia, compared to the US.

In Melbourne, the 9 Network is currently showing the American and
National League playoffs overnight, generally starting after midnight.
They are not live, but replayed from the previous day.  9 was also
showing one Major League game late on Monday nights.  This is not
necessarily a regular coverage, but 9 has generally shown the World
Series games over the last few years, and the playoffs for at least the
last 2 seasons.

I don't want to be fickle, but it has rained non-stop for the last two months
non-stop almost. Sure its a "mild climate" here, but sometimes it gets out of
hand.

Anwhere where the temperature stays mostly above 5C in winter and hovers 25-35
in summer has to be good I suppose.

Hi out there.

I just read that a guy in Perth was so angry at his wife that he decided
to mutilate ... himself. He therefore cut off his dick, removed his 
testicles and still that wasn't enough so he cut off his ears too, all with a 
kitchen knife. He then went to the hospital on his own but refused to have the
"pieces" sowed backed on. He put the body parts in his freezer before
making it to the Hospital.

This was serious stuff, I read it on my Reuters screen. I work with quite
a few Aussies but they are not as rash (well at least our man may not get any
more rashes down there) as our man.

Is this type of behaviour common in Australia ?

Ok.  I got the question wrong the first time.

Does anybody know if Bill Clinton was a boy scout?

I've heard different versions.  One that he was called up but lost the
call-up notice and the other that he was a boy scout but didn't take
the oath.

If anyone knows the answer, please post it or E-Mail me.

Thanks.
